A plus size woman goes viral by showing that the XL sizes of some brands do not fit non-stereotyped bodies, like his.
When you buy clothes, either through the Internet or by going to a store, has it happened to you that some brands seem to offer your same size in smaller sizes?
You know that your size is not small, but you are also clear that an XL garment should fit you, since it is what you normally wear. Do you feel identified?
She is the plus size woman who went viral for airing this topic
Katie Sturino lives in New York and at the age of 35 she became a fashion influencer, despite the fact that her physical appearance does not match the stereotype of beauty that we usually find on this social network.
It reached more than half a million followers with the strategy of «unmasking» the size distortions of big brands such as Zara, with the #MakeMySize tag (make my size).
With this virtual campaign, she seeks to make designers aware of the great variety of women with diverse bodies that exist in the world and who want to show off their clothes.
Katie tries on size 14, extra large and plus tops and dresses and takes selfies of how they look on her. Sometimes she gets it right, but in many cases the result is not what she expected.
These photos are a way to get over the frustration of the number of garments that had to return to stores after buying them online and verify that they were not really his size, despite what was on the label.
She inspired others to do the same, and has even caught the attention of some brands, who have vowed to create more inclusive clothing.
