How on earth can Bethany still claim to be a size 20+. The constant mentioning of her dress size is wearing thin. Pardon the pun. Methinks she doth protest too much
Did she talk so much about her dress size until recently? I don’t recall sizewatch until her appearance began to change. I think the only reason people are debating it is because she’s making it a thing and in the process I sense upsetting quite a few people who relate to each size mentioned and doubting themselves or feeling like they have to justify numbers.
And for me her bopo/fat positive creds are dented by not noting her weight change at all and then this fatfishing that leaves other people feeling upset about body chat. That’s dark influencing and she’s so glib about it.
That said I met her to speak with once in her Arched Eyebrow days around the start of my eating disorder recovery and it absolutely wrecked my head that she looked like she mainly fitted regular sizes and the lower plus sizes of specific brands and kept talking about how fat she was. I had worked as a personal shopper and she looked fashion plus sized which is a UK 14-16 while midsized is an 8-12.
Fashion sizing is as related to day to day sizing as comparing your car to Formula 1 and using the fashion definition and the ‘lay person’ definition to suit your brand is a common trick in all parts of the industry. See also switching between UK and US sizes so you can be two sizes at once.
And wasn’t bopo and fat positivity set up to counter that sneaky
tit that made women in particular stress about body image? It does wear thin when she doesn’t even seem to do branded or sponcon posts and changing her body impacts her income which is a dilemma many got themselves into…
