![]() Kristin: "As weird as some of the design choices were on some of the garments - why did that super-flowy tee have such tight sleeves, again? - I was amazed at how well some of the stuff fit me. Am I not allowed to be part of the 'all'?" I’ve never been one to get upset about sizing and the controversy behind it, but shit like this makes me angry. You could be the same height as someone but a different size, a different weight, a different body type, and more. But the problem is that there is really no such thing as the average girl. ![]() Sheridan: "I get that the makers of 'one size fits all' probably see the average girl as a certain size and a certain height. Trying on some of these clothes unexpectedly made me upset and shameful of my body, which shouldn't ever happen." Instead of trying to fit into what someone considers the perfect size, I would rather celebrate my unique size and wear clothes that fit me beautifully rather than approximately right. DIFFERENT BODIES, UNITE!"Ĭandace: "It's really hard to not be able to fit into clothes that should fit everyone, especially when I'm not even considered 'plus-size.' It's difficult to label clothes as one size fits all when all women are not created equal, physically. We're all different, so the idea of 'one size' for all of us is just absurd. But why? No one body is the same, and that's how it should be. ![]() That's not how I should feel about clothing. Lara: "It made me sad to realize that I felt better about myself when I actually could fit into these clothes. 'One size fits all' sends a message that if you don't fit into the clothing, whether it's too big or too small, you're not 'normal,' and leads to all sorts of body dissatisfaction." Allison: "There's clearly no such thing as one size fits all! Everyone has a different shape, and clothing stores should embrace that instead of making people feel shitty for not being able to fit what they deem to be a universal size. ![]()
