Why Is Plus Size Clothing Still So Hard to Find?

from Born This Weigh · host Kari Bloom + Lisa Blake

🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms who’ve lost a combined 170+ pounds and are still unpacking the wiring that came with growing up as the fat kid. This is the podcast where we talk about body image, diet culture, identity shifts, motherhood, and the stuff that sticks with you long after the scale changes.💛 Want to support Born This Weigh? If this show makes you feel seen, makes you laugh, or helps put words to the stuff so many of us carry around, you can support the podcast on Patreon.

The episode centers on a viral size inclusivity conversation, your fat friends’ biggest clothing complaints, and the very real frustration of trying to find clothes that actually fit, flatter, and make you feel like a person. It also includes Kari celebrating a huge milestone: officially losing 100 pounds. 👚 Plus Size Clothing Problems Nobody Warns You About We get into the actual clothing crimes, from fake size inclusivity and tiny plus size sections to straight-size clearance dumped into the “plus” area, one-size-fits-most nonsense, wide calf boot struggles, shapewear that rolls, crop tops that do not understand fat bodies, and the deeply insulting way plus size fashion still gets treated like an afterthought. 🛍️ Size Inclusive Fashion, Activewear Drama & Shopping While Fat We also talk about the viral reaction to a brand celebrating sizes up to 7X, why some people still get weirdly angry when clothing is made for fat bodies, and how exhausting it is that plus size shopping still feels like a scavenger hunt. From Target frustrations to ugly prints, childish graphics, and clothes that never seem designed with real plus size women in mind, this one got personal fast. 💯 Kari Hit 100 Pounds Down We also celebrate Kari officially hitting the 100-pound mark, what that milestone brought up emotionally, and what it feels like to look back at an older version of yourself with gratitude instead of disgust. It is funny, vulnerable, chaotic, and very Born This Weigh. If you’ve ever searched for plus size clothes that actually fit, wondered why size inclusive fashion still misses the mark, or felt personally victimized by one-size-fits-most, this episode is for you.✨ Hit follow so you don’t miss new episodes every week.✨ If you like what you hear, leave us a rating or review.
