I had a nose. All the negative posts that have 50+ likes and are 9hours old are all still there from what I can see.Not a good look
Iād say she did!! she would of had none to send to Trishas Transformation!! She got a grand free all expensive paid holiday from Failte Ireland to promote it during the summer and her sister included!!Sounds genuinely sorry. It can be hard starting a new venture without an established company to back you up. A lot to think about and get right. I'd say she died when she realised her mistake!
She should have waited and launched all sizes together when she had the full range but, in fairness to her sizing labels, Iām a 12-14 and any of my clothes from āhigh streetā shops and ASOS etc are a large. Sizing has gone to the dogs in recent years and Iām not saying itās right but sheās far from being alone regarding that labelling!But to have a 14-16 size labelled as an XL wasnāt a good start
Well, if you think about it, if you start 6-8 at XS, you end up with XL at 14-16. That's standard sizing. It's the industry that's the problem, not her, to be fair to the girl. If you start questioning that then you have to start at XXS and that's going to start another war, so you can't win.It's absolutely disgusting that she posts pictures of her beautiful body and its "flaws" whilst riding the body positivity movement wave, getting pats on the back for being "brave" and "inspiring" and "inclusive" - but to then go and release a clothing line where your "XL" is a 14-16???? How damaging is that? How many young girls have followed her and felt encouraged by her "honesty" to now once again feel rejected and excluded?
It just shows how fake Roz is. She's all about inclusivity when it means gaining followers and making money but at the end of the day she only wants a certain body wearing her clothing - a thin one.
She 100% planned for size 16 to be the max size. Otherwise she would've come out and said well beforehand that there were issues with larger sizes and there would be a delay with those.
100 % agree. Donāt understand people saying wait to launch. Most high street shops donāt go beyond a size 16/18. Not saying thatās right but I think to start up to a size 16 is a reasonable launch. Think that sheās getting a really hard time over this and sheās one of the good ones whoās real about her size and not photoshopping and filtering it all away.Well, if you think about it, if you start 6-8 at XS, you end up with XL at 14-16.

Also, from a business venture perspective ignoring the sensitive issue that is weight and size, her current market are her hike life groups. If you go on that research alone, hypothetically, her current market may be only up to that size. If you're starting a new business you go with your market research first. If women weren't conditioned to be so bloody offended when it comes to how they look then it would have gone like this....
'Oh hi Roz, I'm a size 18 and would love one of these, will you be making them available in other sizes?'...that leads to more people expressing interest and thus evidence of a larger (no pun intended) market, and that's when you add new products or sizes.
Would also like to state that I am size 12-14 (or 16 if that's what fits), have been a size 8, and recovered from an eating disorder, so I'm not a privileged 'skinny girl' who's never had to worry about her size.
Also to have not initially included people who are a size 6 but when realised sizing was tit only decided then to include them!But to have a 14-16 size labelled as an XL wasnāt a good start
Recognising there is a difference between being abused and being criticised, particularly when you're an influencer.No one deserves to be abused and everyone makes mistakes I just think followers of a bigger size are disappointed in her. This is her line of clothing so Iām sure she could have made sure it was all inclusive if she wanted to. I didnāt hear her mention anything about bigger sizes just different colours the day she was showing how they fit but I might have missed that. Love the jackets though
I havenāt seen anyone abuse her. Criticise her, yes, but abuse, no. If she puts out a product that she is making money from, she should be accountable for it and she should have foreseen the criticism considering the way she markets herself on Instagram. I agree, I think her followers are disappointed in her too, when she uses her ācontent contentā (which irritates the life out of me, why not just post the original in the first place instead of filtering the first time?) to make herself seem like sheās just like everyone else, they probably thought theyād be able to dress like her too with her range but nope, the merch wonāt fit them because itās not inclusiveNo one deserves to be abused and everyone makes mistakes I just think followers of a bigger size are disappointed in her.
