thing is brands are known to either be generous with sizing or super small. I’m a size 12 top and 14 bottom but at my heaviest I’ve been a size 16 in an ASDA Jean (super comfy by the way and dead easy to get into as I’ve seen people wanting a pair on the thread) it varies on brands, the way the clothing is made and your body shape - but the thing is even at my heaviest I have a smaller bottom half than Helen so I don’t understand how she can be a size 14 still. The majority of people I know have gained weight in this pandemic - it was bound to happen while living inside and coping with the the new normal through booze and food as we could only go to supermarkets. I don’t anyone would be shaming her for it since avoiding it is worse.Exactly this. She claims to be a size 14 in ASDA (which is notorious for generous sizing) and also in ASOS’ oversized pieces, but if she thinks that’s a representation of her real size then she’s either massively stupid or deluded. I don’t get the sizing obsession tbh. I’m a good size 10-12, but more often than not I just go on how things feel on me. Sometimes it’s a size 8 and can also be a 14 in jeans, etc. But then again, I don’t have a problem with booze, over eating and binging on pure shite all the time
I get if you need new clothes after all this pandemic to fit into but most of the brands she’s choosing to buy from are known for sizing plus size or curve, petite and tall. I think she’s avoided calling it a haul since she got so much tit for talking about slow fashion and then did a haul video weeks later and had to address it. There’s so much more content you could create than a haul or even talk about smaller businesses or slow fashion brands who need the exposure more than the bigger corporate brands.
