Women Compare XL And XS Sizes Of The Same Clothes, And Their Photos Go Viral
Marina Kamenskaya, a stylist from Russia, joined forces with her friends and colleagues to explore how companies make the same clothes for different women.
Marina represents size XL while the slim girls who collaborated with her on the project wear size XS. Together, they tried out a variety of outfits, including shirts, dresses, and shirt dresses. Interestingly, there were quite a few differences. Most notably, the length of some of the dresses and trousers.
They also took photos of the entire process and posted them online, asking people to share their opinions and tell which versions look better and why. "We've had an interesting game of contrasts!" Marina wrote, adding that no insults are welcome. "We are all different, but everyone wants to dress [up the way they like] and look beautiful. Let's discuss clothing and how it fits. I don't care about nasty things...so let's be tolerant!"

Nice on both, lovely style, but the fabric looks a bit cheap.

It’s pretty, but this one makes their point loud and clear. Cookie cutter dresses designed on size 0-4 dress form can’t just have fabric added to them to fit larger sizes. Some designers do design for XL + bodies, most do not.

The XL lady looks better in some of he outfits, and the XS lady looks better un others. It's a question of choosing whatever fits you best. Both are beautiful women.

I really don't get the point of these. These are mass market clothes. Of course the fit is going to look different since everyone has different body shapes (not just size!).

The point is (if you read the article) - " Marina said she made this choice because when she works with women of non-standard sizes larger than L, she often hears from them that they stay away from clothing chains like ZARA, thinking that they won't find anything in their size there. "There's also the prevailing idea that clothing only looks good on slim women. As a size XL woman myself, thanks to this title, I’d like to show that style is not dependent on size. Also, while some pieces suit larger sizes the best, others look equally good in the smallest and largest sizes." " Also, mass market clothes follow a certain grading pattern. Every time you go a size up, they add 2-4 inches in every single measurement. Clothes are created in sample sizes which is usually an S. So when it's graded to an L or an XL, the accuracy is terrible because those inches don't add up well very often, especially if the garment has an unconventional fit.
