    I have believed this forever! Now as an much older plus size, I wish I could shout it at the roof tops to include plus size fashion and talls. At 5', 10" and a size 3, I am tall and curvy, with long legs, long arms, and long skinny feet. Have struggled forever with shoes also, wearing a narrow 11 - 12. You go girl! Keep the plus size fashion going!

    What an amazing concept and brand ❤️ even though brands offering plus size clothing that actually fits plus size people should be a given. So glad to see brands like this that are actively making progress

    The other 'graded up' measurement that is so often wrong is the upper arm. So often, a garment that otherwise fits constricts my arm movement to the point of uselessness.

    What I find infuriating is that my husband and I are both a size 2X. He can walk into pretty much any store and anything there will come in his size. Men's fashion clearly caters to "plus sized" bodies; and they don't even label them "plus size" or separate them out from the rest of the brands. Meanwhile, when I walk into most stores, I am often relegated to a corner or, if my clothes are on the racks, it's a crapshoot whether or not a given item will be available in my size. The clothes in the plus sized section are always... kind of ugly. On most websites that cater to "plus sized" folks, we are relegated to our own tab or section of the site. Because of this marginalization, I end up shopping at places like Lane Bryant, Torrid, and Catherine's. I feel much more comfortable shopping for plus sized clothing in a plus sized store - but, at the same time, I shouldn't be relegated to special stores. Why isn't my husband relegated to special "plus sized" stores?
    The models for most plus sized brands - including those shown in this video - are usually at the small end of plus size, too. They're just barely out of straight sized clothes. They usually wear a size 10. In most places, plus size doesn't even start until size 16 or 18. Now, how are we supposed to get an idea of what clothes will look like if the models that are supposed to represent us are still half our size? And the thing is, I'm not even THAT enormous compared to most of the other women that I see around me. At a 2X, I feel like I'm just slightly fatter than most of the women that I see on a day to day basis. If we are the standard - and most women that I know do wear above a size 10 - then why are we not treated as such? Don't the brands want to sell to us?
    Lately, I have found it more helpful for me to watch plus size TH-cam reviewers. Seeing how clothes fit on their bigger bodies is much more helpful for me than just guessing based on the size 10 models. I also like that they talk honestly about fit, material, and problem areas.

    Wow, this is an inspiration. I've always wanted to create a plus size luxury suit/ essentials that never out of style brand but, I'm in college for a major that's so far out of the fashion world that I have to complete. I feel like time is passing me by especially since I have no knowledge of the fashion industry, marketing, sewing, nothing. Some day soon I hope I get to fulfill this dream.
    Thanks for sharing.🌻

    All the pants are made for 180 cm height, all pants are too long for me while I'm the average height in my country (170 cm).

    Sorry for the dislike, but all models shown here have that skinny jawline that most "normal" plus size woman don´t have! Most of us have round chins, round faces, shorter necks...
    This brand wants to be size inclusive and end fatphobia, but uses the same models als "old" plus size brands....
    Have a look at "snag tights"-marketing... There you see real woman, real shapes and real proportions ;-)
