If you’re going to promote “body positive brands for plus sized bodies!” you should make sure the brand actually fits plus sized people.

Like, I’m sorry but a brand that only carries an XL and below isn’t inclusive of fat people. A 3XL and below is better, but still leaving out a lot. A size 18 is nice, sure, but what can a size 38 do with that?

And besides, for women’s clothes, the measurements could be smaller than the size suggests! Something meant to fit a 28 inch waist is different from something made for a 50 inch waist, even if you label it the same! And some brands that claim to go up to really large sizes are just saying that because of how they label their clothing, not because of who their clothing actually fits!

So please. Pay attention to the brands you suggest to fat people. It’s not body positive to pretend that everyone should be able to fit in a size 2XL or smaller.

I really wish more people would reblog this because there are a lot of “body positive” feminists doing this without realizing what they’re doing and how it makes fat people feel.
