Modcloth, a clothing brand that is quickly gaining momentum, has recently done away with plus sizing. No, not the actual sizes, just the labels. The larger sizes will simply be included among the rest of the clothing. 65% of women say they wish they could find their sizes among all the other sizes, and 60% say they feel embarrassed that they have to go to another store for their size. This retirement of the plus size label helps all women feel included.
More stores should follow in the steps of Modcloth. Throughout history, there has been shaming for all sorts of differences- skin tone, sexuality, religion, and we are finally addressing our problem with body shaming. It doesn't happen nearly as much with men, probably pointing to our system of sexism, but it is still a large issue and we need large stores like Modcloth to perpetuate the movement.
This is like fighting for equal rights with a more peaceful movement. It is also showing the issues in today's problem and pushing for more women's rights.

ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome and makes me very happy. I feel like this just furthers the fact that every size is beautiful no matter if you're a 00 or a plus size!
People should not have to shop at an entirely different store just because they are "plus size". This is a great step towards ending body shaming.

More 'popular' stores such as Urban Outfitters and Free People need to start selling larger sizes too. Most other stores sell 'plus size' so everyone can find something but stores like this (which are owned by the same people) are elitist and only want a certain 'look' to buy their clothes (non-''plus size'' people)
