We all have seen the ads where the brands are trying to be size inclusive…⁣
⁣
But just don’t get it right! They literally use⁣ “the most acceptable” plus size model but as a consumer are you really drawn to a plus size model that has “curves in all the right places, hourglass figures, small bellies, thick thighs and bottoms” ⁣
⁣
Most plus size brides say no because that isn’t a true representation of them. ⁣
⁣
As a size 18/20, I have a stomach, I love my stomach but yes I do have one so I like to see how a wedding dress will look with a stomach. ⁣
⁣
This article featured on @bustle by @g_russo1 says it all! Literally my favorite quote….⁣
⁣
“The fashion industry seems to believe that plus-size means curves in all the right places, hourglass figures, small bellies, thick thighs and bottoms — there is not much more diversity than that,” says fashion and lifestyle writer Sarah Alexander-Georgeson, age 34. “These types of bodies are beautiful, as are all bodies, but they’re not solely representative of what plus size is.”⁣
⁣
And @themarcyminute who has been a PPB bridal blogger and graced the cover of our issue 18 print magazine says it best. ⁣
⁣
“People have been forced to believe one body type is ideal, causing body dysmorphia, self-loathing, yo-yo dieting and beyond,” says Marcy Guevara-Prete, age 36, co-owner of The Plus Bus. “Consuming mainstream media has caused irrevocable damage to people’s self image and it takes years of reprogramming to embrace the jiggle and truly be body neutral, let alone body positive.”⁣
⁣
So true!! And honestly exactly what we are experiencing in the wedding industry as well. ⁣
