TOO FAT FOR FASHION: when fashion isn't made for bodies like ours.

The thinking behind too fat for fashion, and being too fat for fashion, has been on my mind constantly since @styledbygwenny put a video on how fashion isn't made for bodies like hers, and how that can make you feel and impact your mental well being. I have had so many occasions and stages in my life when I felt too fat for fashion, when my body just did not fit or did not work for fashion, and it is quite crushing. In this video I share my experiences and thoughts on being too fat for fashion.

Ahhhh weight. The amount of energy, emotion and time we put into thinking about our weight and the roll on effects it has on us (health, clothes, appearance), is staggering. Imagine if we never had those thoughts and what we could accomplish with that wasted time and energy!

I have seen some horrific things in the comment section of plus- sized YouTubers. One who does Indian dance, so she wasn’t talking about fashion and sizes of clothing, was absolutely shredded even though she danced beautifully.
So thank you for acknowledging that in your request for comments.

[StyledByGwenny]

I'm so glad you shared your thoughts and experiences on this topic, and I'm glad I did too even though I didn't really want to. The response has told me it was the right thing to do, and we should keep this conversation going! 💕

[Wildunfiltered]

Fab video love. I think both yourself and Gwenny are brave to talk about how you feel. I think it’s important to share these feelings as this resonates with so many people - I think the comments show that too. Personally I know that my worth is not defined by how much I weigh but I still want to make changes to my body shape. I def feel more confident when I’m at a lower weight than I am currently. Let’s keep the conversations going x

[mindydowney]

This was the bravest most difficult video I have watched. Your honesty was felt in my soul, your words absolute truth. Feeling comfortable in your own skin and confident enough to be you, so true. Thank you and hugs

[rachaelwelch]

You’ve just explained so much of my thoughts that most don’t understand. I’m 5’2 & growing up was told I should never be over 105 pounds - even at 9 months pregnant. I felt most confident when I was pregnant because a belly WAS expected then. I broke my leg less than a year ago & have been on a healing journey since. I’m down to my pre pregnancy weight & starting to finally feel more confident ♥️

I love you so much and I needed this video. Thank you so much Amelia. ❤

In the 80s I was an active athlete and could not fit into a single piece of high street clothing. I was not fat in any sense of the word yet no clothing went over a US10 and I was around a 12/14. Its them not us. I feel no compunction to support these brands,

Anyone who comments on someone else's weight is absolutely doing it to hurt or to bolster themselves. They are a disgrace and should be ashamed of themselves.

[marybethlengyel]

I saw Gwenny’s video too, I too am about her size. I’ve never been able to buy fashion house designer clothes. I won’t keep a scale in my house. I’ve done this for almost 10 years now. I go by if my clothes are too loose or too tight. Right now I had to go up in size to fit comfortably. Which makes me sad. I deal with this on a day to day basis and try to think positive thoughts about myself. Thanks for this video too as well as Gwenny’s.

[LIN-wtdk]

Gwenny ‘s videos always make me happy, her personality shines through and the occasional cameo from the Lion is always a treat! And……I think Gwenny does a fabulous job of styling and presenting her style in her videos!! She always looks fabulous! But you are correct
, it is how Gwenny feels about herself! ❤

[irene-bfzf]

Thank you for your honesty. Great video

[BureauKat]

Thank you…thank you…thank you for this marvelous video. Everything you said is spot on for me.

[DaylesAddiction]

I’m finding these videos very confronting personally, I wonder what that says about my mindset. I struggle with the constant dialogue about this constantly in my feed, perhaps because I come to YT for escapism.
Thanks for the real talk, very thought provoking.

Don’t feel bad about feeling better having lost weight. I’m in the same boat - only lost a few pounds but feel more myself! A lot of what you’ve spoken about resonates with me. Factually I am a perfectly healthy weight yet often feel like a weeble! Even when on my lighter side, I’m still curvy. Nothing fits my hips but also my waist. For me, it’s not just about size but also height. I feel I don’t have the stature to dress fashionably a lot of the time. And when I did lose weight so felt in proportion, brands still weren’t inclusive

Life is about choices. When we make a choice we gain one thing and lose another.

[pamelaatkinsonscats]

I’m short at 5’3 and I find most brands don’t create proper petite ranges. I’m a UK 12, but I look positively dumpy if skirts and trousers are cut too long. Models are slim, but they’re also very tall so clothes drape. If things aren’t made in proportion, they’re not flattering on shorter people.

[pjeames]

You speak the truth, it’s reality. I appreciate your honest video.

[Katt]

Great video Amelia and love that you’re throwing light at this issue. Personally I hate the phrase ‘plus size’. A size is a size regardless of what number it is and it serves nothing more than to stigmatise the whole issue.

Also size is so subjective too. One of my best friends is the same height as me but we’re made completely different. About 10 years ago I was a size 10 which is around the right size for me. My friend was at the time a size 14/16. She went through a period where she felt like she had to lose weight as the doctor told her that her BMI which is a ridiculous scale was too high. She lost a lot of weight and she got down to a size 10 and in all honesty, she wasn’t any happier and she looked unwell. Fast forward a few years, we talked about this period of her life and she was very insecure about being a 14/16 and she learnt through a lot of therapy that she was ‘seduced’ by these fashion magazines and ideologies about the perfect size and weight. She’s now a 12/14 and she’s so much happier in herself. I think what I was trying to say is.. size is individual and peoples feelings are complex and individual and excuse the pun, one size doesn’t fit all. I have a small bone structure and my friend has a much bigger bone structure. My size 10 looks and feels very different to her size 10. Fashion houses need to do much better to understand and cater for this.

[danishpastry]

This goes to show that people who we think are confident and have there s**t together can have issues with their body that we know nothing about, and a throw away comment can really hit a nerve.
Body shaming is so wrong on many levels! I'm 160cm and a UK size12, and was very skinny as a teenager (a UK size 6). There were often comments about anorexia even though I ate like a horse, something I definitely can't do today. Luckily these comments didn't affect me.
But whatever size somebody is there should be no shame, and shaming somebody because of their size is bullying, and can potentially end in eating disorders as well as other mental health issues.

[iamelizarosalind]

I always feel as long as you buy clothes in the size that is correct for your body then fashion is for you. I know it’s easy for me to say as a thin petite person, but I have seen curvy girls in similar clothes to me and they look just as good, they are just a different shape. But neither is better. I am 5’3 … when I shop online I know half the stuff I buy is going to the tailors as it will be too long, but I accept that models are 5’10… it’s just about adapting clothes to your shape and not expecting to look like the model.❤
