"Shopping for clothes is already intimidating. There are so many options and styles to consider, as well as factors like sustainability and ethics.
But for people in fat, disabled, or queer and gender-nonconforming bodies, it’s even more arduous.
Nico Herzetty, Emma K. Clark, and Paul Herzetty wondered: What if there was a way people could shop — not necessarily by color or size — but by measurements, materials, and ethics?
So they set off to create their website: Phoria. 
Here, shoppers can set up a free profile, add their body measurements (and “typical fit challenges”) and peruse over 270 brands. Once these data points are entered, users can personalize their pages with “saved,” “recommended,” or “hidden” brands. 
Pages can be totally private, or shared with the community to connect over styles and brands.
Aside from fit, brands in the Phoria database (which claims to be “the largest database of plus-friendly brands”) can also be filtered as “gender-neutral,” “woman-run,” “small business,” or “natural fibers.” Users can also filter for price, preferred styles, and more.

Some brands include popular names like Athleta, Levi’s, and Patagonia. Others are small businesses, like Beefcake Swimwear, or Hey Peach.
“For so many people, it feels too damn hard to find and keep clothing that fits in all the ways that really matter. So we’re doing something about it,” the Phoria website reads.
“Unlike most online shopping experiences, we center the needs of plus-size women, nonbinary, and trans people, and prioritize supporting clothing brands focused on sustainability, ethics, and inclusion.” ...
That team — made up of Clark, and Nico and Paul Herzetty — calls themselves “fat, disabled, and very, very queer.” 
“These are some of the main ways we identify, and they’re qualities that have directly impacted our ability to get dressed every day in a way that feels good,” the Phoria team introduces themselves on the website.

In addition to catering the user experience to women, non-binary, and trans people, Phoria is also a benefit corporation, or a B corp.
“We’ve legally required ourselves to consider the interests of all our stakeholders — customers, employees, the planet, and our shareholders,” the Phoria website explains.
“Our specific public benefit purpose is to reduce people’s dependence on buying mass-produced items made in unsustainable ways and to use human-centered business models to boldly challenge economic systems of inequity.” 
Right now, in the early stages of the company’s business, it doesn’t make any money.
“We’re focused on building something that genuinely solves plus-size people’s challenges around clothes shopping and supports smaller and more sustainable brands,” Phoria’s website states.
So, spreading the word seems to be of utmost importance...
Additionally, TikTok creators @couplagoofs (a queer couple named Morgan and Phoebe), recently shared a video in which they discovered Phoria. They met the website’s creators at a fat liberation event in their city and were introduced to the tool.
Quickly, commenters responded with gratitude and excitement.
“It is so disappointing to sort through pages of plus size clothes that aren’t even plus size,” a TikTok user commented. “This is gonna be such a good tool!” 
Some even shared emotional responses, speaking to the need at the heart of Phoria’s mission. 
“I’m… gonna cry,” another commenter wrote. “I’ve needed this my whole life.”"

i'm so sick of these brands acting like they're "inclusive" when they're anything but

Size inclusive means your clothing brand should go up to at least 10XL if not 12XL

Don't tell me about size inclusiveness...
The smallest and the biggest corsets I ever made simultaneously in my workshop. Nice comparison, don't you think? Give you some perspective.
P.S. Gosh, I love women...

Interesting… when perusing eBay for vintage pattern books I found one from looks like around the 90s for plus size crochet sweaters. What I find odd is that it says the sizes go up to 3x but if you look at the actual measurements the bust measurements go up to 70” which is odd since 3x in modern day sizing for crochet patterns is typically 52”. It’s really weird because usually we think that vintage clothing and patterns run small but this apparently isn’t the case where this would go to at least a 6x. It is quite deceiving for someone who is in the extended plus size range who would probably benefit from the book but I am tempted to buy it just to test it out the patterns look quite timeless

Feeling righteously angry again over the fact that tall women are notoriously sought after for fashion modeling when 99% of clothing made for retail do not include sizing to properly fit us. (From the perspective of an American, as I can’t speak to other countries)
Almost every mass produced clothing brand has petite options for popular styles. And recently plus sizing has become more inclusive. But for some reason brands just don’t make tall clothing!
I can count on my fingers the number of brands that carry women’s tall, and several of those are UK based fast fashion (misguided, boohoo, asos) or not affordable for the average American (altheta, alloy, madewell).
If anyone tries to tell me to just get custom made clothing or tailor my clothing, you’re missing the point. That’s absolutely not accessible for the average underpaid overworked American. Custom made is often (rightfully so) quite expensive. And not everyone has time to spend every month going to a tailor (who can’t even do much to add length besides taking out a hem).
And the brands that are actually accessible (looking at you old navy, long tall sally, American eagle, even shien) are usually the most seldom updated, yawn-worthy basics that are stylistically stuck in 2014. If I have to scroll through another page of black skinny jeans, slim fit stretchy trousers, and white T-shirt’s I’m going to scream.
Please brands, for the love of god, make fun fashionable, accessible clothing for the tall women you use to sell your clothing. I’m bored.
AND another thing! When tall sizes actually exist, they oh so rarely include anything above an XL. Come on. Do you think people are either average, short, fat, or tall? That’s not how it works.
If you actually believe in size inclusivity, you can’t just stop at plus size, or tall, or petite, because guess what, a lot of tall people are also fat! You’re missing whole demographics! It’s 2023!
Do I have to do this shit myself???

As someone who wears plus-sized clothing, doesn't have a job and can only wear specific fabrics without feeling the need to literally scratch my skin off, here's a venn diagramm.
Getting clothes I can actually wear? Difficulty impossible.
That's not even talking about potential shipping fees and shipping options.
