Why is this ignored?
I have noticed that when people talk about how an XXS today fits them perfectly, so girls who can’t fit into one must be dramatic. But I feel like this keeps coming up, as well as the constant discussion of where to buy jeans, nobody ever takes into account that maybe things fit us differently because they no longer care to make clothes that fit anybody. They know once you find that one store that works a little, you’ll keep spending money there. Which snowballs into these arguments of who is being excluded where.
I think i’m just a little bit tired of the conversation of nothing being able to find clothes coming from both sides. Not because one side is wrong and the other is right, but because these companies keep escaping blame. These brands make ill fitting clothing no matter what size you are because it’s all cheaply made, fast fashion cr*p.
I was in the dressing room at Marshall’s and overheard a girl say that she bought the same size xs from hollister, but they all fit differently. And it’s because these companies do not care. It’s sloppy work that they slap expensive price tags on and get people to fight about. My 00 hollister jeans have a hole in the back (after 6 months of wearing them) when they don’t even fit properly in the back. They weren’t even tight, I had to keep pulling them up.
What i’m trying to say is that everyone’s anger and body shaming is incredibly unnecessary. Why people feel comfortable telling people things that would be considered fatphobic if reversed is because people would rather get nasty and insecure instead of admitting that we have all been got by this weird capitalistic fashion system.
