Aurora has always been small. But she was not always around. Today, if it fulfills its voluptuous curves and gluttony source of pleasure, she laments a market that, if it is open to large, often women forget his size. Testimony gathered by our colleagues from My Big size.
If the fashion market finally opens to the plus size, we see that still and always forgotten by the large size. Aurore, one of our readers, gives us a testimony full of truths about the situation of women "and small round" for that dress is sometimes a hassle.
Switching from a size 36 to size 42 eu when measuring 1.45 m
Aurora is a young woman of 28 years, bubbly and smiling, who works in the hotel industry. In life, she likes things simple and sincere:
"My sentimental and friendship is very important for me and my career. As for my hobbies and my free time I like to just hang out with my boyfriend, my friends and my family. Admiring nature and capita to 300 m from the sea, I love wandering on foot, bike or rollerblades in natural areas. I also like to take care of myself and shopping. Very tasty, cooking and eating are also real pleasures for me."
From a rather natural finish, she began to gain weight around the age of 17-18 years when it stops swimming and running to devote himself fully to his life as a young girl:
"I practiced a lot of sports and I loved it but at that time my love life and going out with friends have taken over. Then I threw all my frustrations on the food rather than evacuate through sport. I went from 36 to 42 in 2 years. Since I always kept my curves and I've never taken the sport with passion as before. "
Have new curves has not always been easy to accept for Aurore who went through many stages before to love fully as:
"I have sometimes been complexed to the point of not wanting to put me in a swimsuit at the pool, at the beach and even find me repulsive in the mirror. Today, I do not hide that I would like to lose a few kilos but I'm too greedy! And having said that, with time I learned to love me and take me completely. My friends tell me I wear my curves well and they would not see me differently and they are probably right! "
Being small and round in a world made for tall and thin
On the fashion side, the young woman explained that even if the market is open to the large size dress when you're little round is far from easy challenge:
I play 40-42 (French medium size) measuring 1m45 but I obviously seem more rounded than a 1m60-70 woman. Being round and small, it is sometimes difficult to dress, to 60 kg to 145 cm leads to complications dress choice. The pants are too big for me, a hem 15 cm is often necessary. Skirts, whether long or short always go down too low and rarely make me value. That said looking good, I always seem to find something that goes to my figure. Just to know its flaws and its physical assets.
For her, the large size fashion market still has a long way to go to adapt to the demands of all its customers. Although she concedes, things have evolved in recent years:
Regarding the large market, it is more suited to plump women and are increasingly highlighted in the media and fashion. Today, there are specialized websites for curvy women, but this is not the case in major clothing chains where it is still difficult to dress once it is made more than one or even 44-46 less and is small when it is the same! It is clear that the market is not suitable for round and small women. Some shops are beginning to consider the larger sizes and / or to specialize but that is not yet developed enough.
This representation problem is also seen with large models. Indeed, the criteria require them to be at least 175 cm, standard size round women already feel underrepresented. For round and small fashionistas such Aurore, it's even worse:
"All the larger sizes are mannequins 1m75 minimum and it is not representative of society since the French average size is 1m63. Market development" large "is great, it allows curvy women, whether large or small, to decomplex and stop thinking to do a 36 to be pretty. But as the models are round or thin, they all 1m75 or more, this means that we must be great to be beautiful.
However, there are many round and small women are pretty and that would reflect more women in our society. It would be great to see in the media and fashion mannequins "small and round" and even women with very different morphologies (small, large, very large, round, very round, thin, lean etc).
If the fashion market finally opens to the plus size, we see that still and always forgotten by the large size. Aurore, one of our readers, gives us a testimony full of truths about the situation of women "and small round" for that dress is sometimes a hassle.
