Well, she could have added information for dressing various body sizes. She could have made a way of asking for recommendations about clothes that fit properly/well, but that was never possible.
I wasn’t asking her to make me feel better about my size in any way (not sure where you got that from). My size doesn’t bother me. The fact I couldn’t dress it well does though (ill fitting clothes etc) and I thought the group was a place to find that help, particularly as that’s one of the things I’d been advised that the group and the paid for service offered, not only by other members but also her and her team. And one of the reasons I decided to pay for her services in the first place. She’s supposed to promote ‘body positivity’ but there was hardly ever anyone over a size 14/16. So there’s that.
I wasn’t the only one who had similar questions either. The whole business is based on ‘shapes’ and no matter what size, apparently the shape information should work for everyone. There was literally no way of asking about any variations on those shapes without being silenced. My example is that I have a large tummy, which often gets bloated too. A lot of tops I find too short to cover said tummy (including the ones in the online shop I paid her for after specifically requesting help with that). I’ve tried sizing up, it didn’t work. I’ve tried ‘longer length tops which end up too long’. I wanted to ask the question to see if anyone with similar experiences had any recommendations. I couldn’t do that because asking to cover my tummy, no matter how I worded it, was deemed to be negative.
