Thank you so much for this review! It's exactly what I was looking for a while back when they reopened shipping to Canada, but at the time I couldn't find any reviewers who are in the larger plus range (3X-6X). So this is definitely useful and needed. I had a very strange experience with their sizing. I ordered their lounge leggings in 6XL and they were actually loose around the legs (like the fabric was hanging off me in some places). The waist fit fine, but between the waist and hips, there is a stiff seam that refused to stretch. So by the end of the day, I had a red mark around my stomach. I've never had this issue with leggings before, they usually stretch and can accommodate my hips (the largest part of my body) and my legs just fine without either cutting into my circulation, or being loose. (For comparison, I ordered some of Hyba's shorts-leggins this summer in 3X and they fit perfectly.) Like you said, it'd be great if they went up to an 8XL or even 10XL to make up for the difference in their sizing. Though part of me wishes they would instead overhaul their sizing chart.

I’m not sure where Anna, from Glitter and Lasers shops but she has the cutest clothes and she’s a larger girl. Her lymph edema is in her thighs and hip area where if I remember correctly yours is full leg including calves and ankles. I’m not sure if you watch her channel but maybe you can find some inspiration there.

Danielle, no hate here at all, and being bigger, I get it, but when you are 6x, you can't expect to be able to shop everywhere. It just isn't going to make the company money. There just isn't many 6x or larger

There are countless different things that can cause people to gain weight and be safe and the best part is not a single one of them is any of your business. Please educate yourself a bit more before making this broad statements.

Doesn't seem like that's what she was saying? it was more that they brand & market to larger ppl - then have inconsistencies in sizing & some of the items aren't comfortable even though they are at a premium. Additionally... From my own fatter than average fat self experience - you never have to explain to a fat person to manage their expectations regarding what we can & can't wear. We are VERY aware.

My experience shopping online and in stores in the larger plus size range is that those are the sizes that sell out the fastest! It's true for Canadian brands like Penningtons and Reitmans (Hyba, specially!). I shopped on GC recently and my size (5XL or 6XL) was sold out in almost all the items and colours I was interested in. So yeah. Not sure about the "your size doesn't sell" argument. You can check for yourself: on GC's website when you click on a size that's almost sold out, they will tell you "3 left" or "almost gone". The sizes that have those warnings (assuming they aren't sold out already) are reliably the 4-6XL and the XXS, because people outside the usual sizes carried by mainstream stores will latch onto brands that carry our sizes. So finding a brand that CLAIMS to carry up to 6XL only to find they've done some obscure sizing math is EXTRA disappointing. Because it's creating a rare hope (and an even rarer hope if the brand has a style we actually like!) only to crush that hope. :/

There are a lot more ladies out there who are needing plus sizes, than not. There's a huge demand for plus sizes. I agree that 6x may be harder to find, however. I'm a 2x and have a very hard time finding things sometimes, but mostly because shops are always sold out of my size.

16:59 Exactly!!! like having a 6XL on paper doesn't translate to the variation of people's bodies me & my friend were talking about how the cuts and patterns when brands claim size-inclusivity can't just scale the original model's pattern up. it's like they took their design and just held Shift + click and dragged diagonally, without paying attention to how it would fit on different people's measurements and dimensions and proportions. Thank you for your transparency and for sharing, and I genuinely hope that you find things that work for you 🦋

It's true that making inclusive plus-size clothing is not profitable for most businesses. That's one problem with everything being completely driven by profit and nothing by compassion, passion, inclusivity, equality, diversity... When people are excluded because they aren't profitable, that's a problem! People shouldn't have to be profitable to be equal. You know what else isn't profitable for businesses? Fair wages. Child labor laws. Ingredient labels. FDA regulations. Truthful advertising. Safe working conditions. Maternity leave. Paid vacation time. Quality control. But those things are all important... Right? Regardless, fat people deserve to have nice clothing just like smaller people deserve to have nice clothing.

Size inclusion can be very profitable by just including the manufacturing costs of all sizes when determining the customer cost. This is already how customer cost is determined but the current range of sizes included in the calculation is only XS-XL. It is more expensive to make an XL compared to an XS but they will be sold at the same price because that is accounted for when the seller is determining the cost for customers. So the size range used to set the customer cost just needs to be expanded to account for the manufacturing costs of all sizes. The price difference to the customer is marginal so it’s really a simple change. Some companies are already doing this and have made profits, like ThirdLove. Here are some links with examples! www.glamour.com/story/fat-tax-is-about-more-than-money www.voguebusiness.com/fashion/tanya-taylor-plus-size-inclusivity-profit

we all have had frustrations with sizing.... no matter what our shape or weight may be. If something doesn't fit it just means it is not for you so take a different approach. Your creative and can make something funky or edgy. Consider it a challenge. Would make a good video! People have opinions about everything and everyone but the one that counts is your very own opinion of yourself. Keep going and living your best!

Ok, but if a company is going to carry a 6x (which this company does), then it should be an actual 6x. I looked at the size chart and the measurements are off. You're right, it's hard for so many people of different shapes and sizes to find clothes that fit correctly, which is why companies need to do better with advertising the correct sizes and understanding that just cutting a garment bigger to cater to plus sizes is not going to work.

I think the fact that its all made from recycled plastic means the materials are more expensive to produce and while I don't know this for sure I would hope they are paying their manufacturers a fair livable wage because you can't really say you're eco friendly without also tackling the ethics of producing clothing.

@@Danyellllpopposing opinions like "you shouldn't be that fat in the first place so you shouldn't be complaining about clothes sizes" aren't nice, neutral opinions. Some people are just that fat, like me and Danielle, and that's not ever going to change. It makes us feel like you're saying we shouldn't even exist when people say things like this, because that's the only other option! Not everyone is in a place in their life or genetics or whatever where they can slim down to a 3x... Some bodies simply aren't built for that! Larger fat people deserve nice clothing and we deserve to be able to talk about it without a bunch of people commenting on our bodies and our lives who don't understand what it's like to be a larger fat person who is trying very hard to love the body we've been given.
