Sustainable fashion should not be exclusively for straight-sized womxn.
Brands which don’t accommodate for those over a size 14 are not inclusive and do not provide a sustainable alternative to fast fashion ‑ meaning those who are “plus-sized” are forced to shop fast fashion, as those are the brands that accommodate them.It is the responsibility of brands to make sure they are accessible for all sizes and are inclusive for womxn who are the average size in the UK ‑ which is a size 16. If you aren’t making clothes for the average size in the UK, you’re exclusive and discriminatory and in 2021, you need to do better.
Thin womxn should not be the gatekeepers of sustainable fashion. It may be more expensive for you to produce a wider size range but if you’re an established brand, these are costs you need to consider. If you cannot afford to be inclusive, then perhaps you aren’t ready to start a brand yet.
Here are some brands that get it right and cater for size 16+. A lot of them are made to order so can create something special that fits you like a glove ‑ just message them! Also, if I’ve missed anybody or you have suggestions, please let me know and i’d love to add them on.
