Yep. Clothes just aren’t typically designed for fat people.

Sounds bad but it’s true.

Athleta is the worst. I really don't need to see a 3x woman stuffed into leggings when I search for workout clothes.

Disgusting.

You. I'm talking about you.


I actually love that brands like Athleta show the clothes they sell on different sized people. It helps envision what they will look like on ME. You are the not the only or even the DEFAULT size of people out there. You need to get over yourself.

Newsflash. They will look awful on you. Just like they look awful on the model.

+1. When I see the plus sized models wearing clothes that were not designed for them I think this is not good marketing. There’s no incentive to buy the clothes. The clothing does not flatter the model. In fact, the clothes usually emphasis areas that many people would like to de emphasize.

No one is jealous of you for having to take a medication to be a normal weight. No one. I promise.

Also, some fat people want to lose weight/get in shape. It's nice to know that you could conceivably show up a yoga class and not be shunned.

Everyone? Embellish (lie) much?

As a fat woman, I agree with this. I want to be able to see how the clothing is meant to fit.

I know it won’t look exactly the same on me but I also know some styles and construction look better and without seeing it not bunched up and weird on a plus size model it’s hard to see it.

Also I can be honest and say that being fat nothing ever really looks that good when you were it.

Target AND plus size? Gross. Target's clothes are terrible in the cut and construction, by the way.

It’s so helpful for me to see the plus sized models. What I really need is a large chested, tall model, but I get that I’m never going to have that.

I wish someone would invent a flexible mannequin and there would be a way you could put in your measurements and have it expand and contract inside the clothes on video or something. IRL somewhere, not with AI, so you would really know how the clothes would look. I feel like it would cut down on sales but also on returns.

Why not just have models for BMI 19-23, as that is the normal range. If you don't fit in that you shouldn't be accommodated as that is unacceptable medically

When I see it, I know the clothes aren’t for me and shop elsewhere.

Obviously they know who their customers are, and rail thin people aren’t it.

Target's mannequins in store are plus size and have been for many years.

Agreed. Having any non-size 00 models is somehow a personal attack on them. Bizarre that a few plus size models is enough to ruin pps day.

It seems like it is skin & bones or obese. Where are all our Mediums?
