[quote=Anonymous]I am all for size inclusivity with models but I agree some brands are not really being inclusive when the options are just 5’10” size 2 or 5’10” size 20. Neither of those is average and while for me the size 2 will be a little closer, I think it would make more sense to include a size 8 or 12.

I think if a garment comes in anything above a 16 (which thankfully more brands are doing), it is important to show a 16+ model in the item because as PPs mentioned, they actually cut clothes differently for this range.

One thing I’ve seen for petite sizing that is like to see for all sizing is an explanation of what the fit differences might be for different sizes. Like some brands will explain that their petite sizes are cut with shorter hems and sleeve lengths, but also some differences in dart placement or princess seaming. That’s useful if, like me, you sometimes got petite clothes and sometimes don’t. I think it would be useful to explain how they change a pattern for a size 22 versus a size 8.

On topic: I think the older Athleta model is really stunning snd I particularly appreciate seeing her in activewear because it’s only recently that older women were “allowed” to be athletic. I find it inspiring. Agree fit and lighting are bad but that’s really common for these photos, regardless of the model’s size or age. Some brands cheap out on photography.[/quote]
