I (22f) wear a size 34 in UK fashion which is very obviously plus sized. This is a 5XL or a 6XL in US sizes btw. I find it hard to buy clothes because of this, nowhere in main retailers sells my size and even some plus size stores don’t which means I have to pay a lot of money just for clothes to fit me, and to make sure they’re not cheap material. It’s honestly disgusting but that’s for another day hahaha don’t wanna start rambling here. But because of this, I’m very passionate about plus size fashion generally.
I don’t know if anybody has seen this but recently there’s been an internet trend of skinny people buying plus size clothes to modify it or to use the fabric for something else. I’m very against this, I believe that it’s hard enough for us to buy clothes already and it’s making it harder now.
My friend (19f) is one of those people who is doing this, she’s stick thin and looks borderline anorexic yet is doing this trend for her TikTok account. I saw it posted and I messaged her telling that plus size people have it hard enough trying to buy clothes and that this trend is very wasteful. She responded back saying that it’s not that deep and that it’s not her fault the fashion industry is like this. I told her she’s contributing to the problem regardless, and told me I’m being stuck up and that it’s just for a video. She’s then being ignoring my messages for the past 3 days and won’t tell me what I did wrong.
I guess I am feeling like the asshole because it is true she’s not responsible for the whole fashion industry, but she’s being wasteful on her own anyway. AITA ?
