Absolutely re: the thigh chafe. She’ll never know I def don’t expect her to predict how a pair of jeans will wear in the thighs!It’s besides your point, but I think she has quite big boobs. Especially compared to her body. I actually think they’re a little bit too big to go braless as often as she does.
But yeah, these testing basics have become pointless. They used to be more about materials and composition of fabric and how things wash, or just about how to style things. And quality of stitching, that type of thing.
But I do not agree that they should advocate clothing for different body types, like some say. I think bloggers should stick to themselves, I think it will only become blurry and not trustworthy if they start including things they have no experience with. Like they might know that a brand may go up to a certain size, but they may not know that people with larger thighs may worry about chafing or something. I think it’s up to us to find a blogger with a similar body type to us.
I guess, in my mind, if you’re trying to maximize affliate links, you’d want to show brands who appeal to the most people, right? So, with the abrupt wave of social awareness happening, by not showcasing brands with a larger size range or diversity in socials she’s 1) limiting the number of people who might buy (potentially based on a shift in values) and 2) probably assuming that all her followers look like her which makes me think she doesn’t care about diversity at all (intersectionality).
Re: Weekday - that is tit. Your pair must have slipped through quality control because a shortened zipper is def a major issue
I’m “plus sized” and work in fashion, so I guess I just question these things Sorry!
