Not Your Size
by Amy Abrahams
Fashion isn’t made for everyone - and we’re still pretending it is. Uncomfortable Fashion pulls back the curtain on an industry built on exclusion, one honest conversation at a time.

Baby, where the hell has my style gone?
What if your style isn’t the problem?In Episode 3 of Not Your Size, Amy explores what happens when we stop chasing fashion rules and start paying attention to ourselves instead. From “dressing for your body type” and endlessly buying clothes for a future version of yourself, to the pressure of keeping up with trends and never repeating an outfit, this episode is a reminder that personal style should feel like self-expression, not self-correction.Amy shares practical tips for curating your social media feeds for inspiration rather than comparison, understanding how clothing makes you feel, and building a wardrobe around pieces you genuinely love wearing. Because finding your style isn’t about becoming more fashionable, it’s about becoming more yourself.

No more slogan tees please and thank you.
Why does plus-size fashion so often feel stuck in a strange parallel universe of oversized black tunics, random cold shoulder tops and slogan tees covered in glitter wine references?In Episode 2 of Not Your Size, Amy Abrahams dives into the frustrating reality of plus-size fashion design and why so many women feel disconnected from the options available to them. From the rise of online-only shopping and the emotional exhaustion of constantly returning clothes, to the technical challenges of designing for plus-size bodies, this episode unpacks why “inclusive sizing” and genuinely great fashion are not always the same thing.Amy explores why plus-size fashion often defaults to shapeless silhouettes, why mainstream brands still struggle to see plus-size women as fashion consumers rather than fashion problems, and why small independent brands are often doing a far better job at creating clothing that actually feels stylish, modern and joyful.Part fashion commentary, part therapy session for every woman who has rage-scrolled through another disappointing online drop.And yes, we absolutely discuss the ugly slogan tee problem.

So who is fashion for anyway?
Fashion has always told women who deserves to be seen. In this first episode of Not Your Size, Amy Abrahams, the woman behind Wear The Damn Dress and Founder and Director of size-inclusive runway event Revel the Runway, dives headfirst into the messy, emotional and honestly quite ridiculous relationship between women, fashion and visibility.From fashion week statistics showing less than 1% of runway looks are shown on plus-size bodies, to the exhausting reality of trying to “earn” confidence through shrinking ourselves, Amy unpacks why fashion is never just fashion. It’s identity. It’s self-worth. It’s mental health. And sometimes it’s standing half naked in a fitting room wondering why a pair of jeans can ruin your entire afternoon.This episode is part cultural commentary, part personal reflection and part loving rant about the industries still profiting from female insecurity while pretending inclusivity is revolutionary.Because the average woman has changed.Fashion just hasn’t.
