Women show off their clothing sizes to discuss diversity

Things may be far from ideal, and indeed they are, but it is important to recognize current movements and campaigns that seek to break old paradigms and encourage a fairer society in terms of gender equity, self-image and beauty standards.

A new campaign has been gathering images of women showing the size of the clothes they wear. The reason? Make it clear that there is no standard in this regard, and that there are many, many women who wear small sizes, just as many wear larger sizes - and there is nothing wrong with that.

The idea is to make clothing manufacturers see this too, after all, it is quite common for women who wear larger clothes to simply not find the ideal pieces for their physical type easily - in Brazil, many stores have models that only go up to numbering 46 or the size G.

Not to mention the fact that the G does not always correspond to a large piece - personal observation: one of these days, looking at the size of a winter blouse, those that are close to the body, I realized that it was GG (detail: I have 1, 70 m and weight 65 kg).

The impression we get is that the pattern of clothing measurements is being subtly reformed, but it seems to shrink label sizes even further - if a GG blouse looks tight on me, I wear size 36 pants, that same GG Would it fit a woman wearing size 46 pants? How big would a model shirt like I bought this woman need to find? The mark in question may not even produce larger parts.

Our #NoSizeFitsAll campaign (link in bio) has created a splash across the media and gained expert backing over the last 2 weeks. As London Fashion Week begins today, we are taking to social media once again. 1 in 5 women in the UK cut the label out of their clothes, with 70% stating they do so out of shame and embarrassment at their size. The #NoSizeFitsAll campaign seeks to overnight the presentation and idolization of uniform body types by the fashion industry. Let's start by overturning the trend of label shame. Share your label on social media with the hashtag #NoSizeFitsAll to send a message to the fashion industry that it is time to reflect the diversity of British women.

The initiative began during London Fashion Week, when the Women's Equality Party (WEP) launched the hashtag #NoSizeFitsAll, inviting women to show that there is no fixed pattern of clothing sizes - according to In this institution, 10% of women in the United Kingdom have the habit of removing labels from their clothing, ashamed of the size of the garments.

The WEP message said just that: It's time to show the fashion industry that women's bodies don't follow a uniform size and that they don't need to be ashamed of it. From there, the female audience began to share the sizes of their clothes on Instagram, and what you saw in the photos was exactly what you see in practice: diversity.

It is already proven that there is a relationship between the patterns of female bodies, presented in the fashion world, and the development of eating disorders, after all many women submit to absurd sacrifices in the name of a look considered socially acceptable, compromising health for that too. .
