That meltdown was so so soo relatable for a fellow size 16-18 😭
I found asos so hit or miss. Some things fit perfectly, some too big, some too small. I always find myself wishing they had reviews so you could see if other people found items too big, small or true to size.
Katie, I nearly started crying when I watched this. Bloody ASOS have crappy sizing, , that's def not a curve range!!! You rocked that black slip dress and the denim dress was super cute on you too.
It is not ASOS most of the time. They have different brands on their website.
Their returns policy is the best where they refund you as soon as the parcel is scanned by Auspost when you return your clothing you don't want
I second this! This is why I keep going back to ASOS
Holy crap this is the most real, honest video you have made. I love how raw you were because this is how people feel everyday. I ended up crying today over a pair of jeans that didn’t fit and were a size up from my usual dress size!! But you are so right, it’s not on to make people feel that they are too “fat” to fit their clothing. Especially when you do everything you can to make sure you have followed size charts. Keep doing what you do, you have just made me feel less alone. Thank you.
Ohh honey when you started crying because you were so frustrated I wanted to reach through the screen and give you the biggest hug. You are right though *IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE* Sending you the biggest #virtualhug
I’m also a plus size Aussie girl and online shopping can be a bloody nightmare!
Me too. I felt for you. It's happened to me too. A couple of weeks ago I bought a white playsuit and white jeans from ezibuy their plus size range Sara and it was too tight, i had to return it. Not impressed when I like you checked the sizing chart and it's the plus or curve style so you'd think it's made especially. Big hugs Katie. We love you. On the positive side you cracked up with the things you said about the white shirt.
I hate womens sizing. My husband can go into store and grab a pair of jeans or a large t-shirt and know it will fit him. It annoys me so much that i have no idea what I actually wear because every brand is so fd up with sizing.
That meltdown is literally so relatable, it’s every time!.. but! You’re beautiful 😍 and clothe sizes doesn’t define us ❤️
Thanks lovely! Definitely not. The size isn’t what upset me more so the sizing chart not matching the size they told me I should be
Katie Frances I feel the same in primark , hence why I NEVER shop there 🥺🙊🙈 terrible sizing at its finest
Omg girllll I feel you I am 16 and I was always curvy... I never find anything I cry so much about my body and that nothing fits me... I cry with you... 😞❤️
Just remember we are beautiful! Our clothes or size doesn’t define us ❤️
Definitely get the slip dress in a larger size! The whole look is too cute!
When I was plus size, I found the same problem with ASOS. Strangely, since losing weight, I haven't had any sizing issues with them. It makes me think that they just haven't worked out what they are doing or who that are catering for in the Plus range.
I’ve been watching you for years, but lately I am hardcore binge watching your hauls! It’s given me the motivation to create some outfits with what I have in the wardrobe 🌸 I’m LOVING your content, fave UA-camr
That shirt was hilarious 😂
It reminds me of when you put your toddler in one of dads old shirts to wear as a painting smock!
I’m so glad you posted this video.
Oh Katie I so agree with you. Shopping plus size is so frustrating. Please don’t get too down. It’s the fashion industry’s fault not ours. You are so lovely inside and out. Keep up your wonderful videos coming. Take care.
I relate to this so much, I mean the fact I cant go into a "normal" store as a size 20 and find things in Womens clothing is bad enough but online is even harder not being able to try it first is so beyond frustrating 😔 we need universal sizing so bad!
its amazing how all the body positivity in the world goes flying out the door when the sizing is bloody WRONG! This is what's wrong with sizing with 99% of brands, and why i don't shop online very much. I am size 16 at kmart, 14 at target, and 18-20 in Zara DIFFERENCE i know what size to go for and dont end up in tears like katie... girl i can relate, BUT this is a body positive problem by no means its universal for sizing in general... just seems to hit hard when you spends months getting your mental health under control and its undone with a mail delivery.... thumbs up girl xxx
I still love myself, I’m crying out of frustration that plus size women are damned if we do and damned if we don’t. The tears have nothing to do with the love for my body. ❤️
Sending so many hugs to you, my heart sank when you were reduced to tears and I've definitely been there too.
My size has changed over the years too and I've been struggling with my weight and bloating caused by a condition I have. Ive been shopping online a lot this lockdown and have had some great success with Missguided. I have a lot of shame around being an apple shape with heavy bloating and I have found their sizing to be amazing for my current body so far.
Its so hard to come away from an experience where you just don't fit anything in a store or something youve taken time to purchase and not feel upset. I hope your next haul is much better for you.
Been having a rough day, so glad you uploaded!! Time for tea and a katie haul 🥰🥰
Awww thanks beautiful. Hope your day gets better! Xx
This is one of the most relatable videos I have ever seen. Thank you thank you thank you for your honesty I can't explain how many times I've had the same breakdown. It's so frustrating. I'm a brissy girl 16-20 sized as well and this made me feel like I'm not alone ♥️♥️
This is thr first video I have seen of yours, and I have to tell you. I am so glad I found it. You honestly and vulnerability is so real and I started crying with you as I have felt those emotions so many times. Although, clothes are becoming more available as the years go by, it is still a struggle to find stores that carry items that are fashionable and fit plus sized. I wholeheartedly feel your struggle so much and I want you to know that you did still look gorgeous in those 2 dresses and the skirt, that denim dress was amazing and I barely noticed the buttons. You have a beautiful figure. I am so happy I found such a relatable and honest UA-cam content maker and I look forward to viewing more of your videos. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much lovely! Welcome to the family x
Hi Katie. Firstly I just want to say you are absolutely amazing and a true inspiration, I have only just started watching your videos and I’m obsessed!!
This vid really hit home, I’m a size 14-16 or sometimes a size 16-18. I find it so hard to find clothes that fit me and when I online shop this happens every single time 😭
Keep up the amazing work!! Much love Katherine x
Your reaction to the sizing of ASOS is relatable
This video came up in my reccomended videos and I'm so glad it did! You are about my size and online shopping is always a hit or miss for me. I just got an order today from a store and 3 out of 4 items fitted (the 3 were the websites brand) and the item that didnt was from another brand that they sell on their store. The item didn;t even say it was a different brand! And the sizing chart was the same.
You have gained a new subscriber today, and I am going to binge watch a bunch of your videos now.
Yay! Welcome and thank you xx
Girl I am so glad you posted this because I was just about to buy a massive amount of clothes from asos. You're the exact same shape as me and your experience has made me empty everything from my cart except for the jewellery lol
You make me laugh so much 😂 I feel like we would be best friends. When you were trying on the white shirt dress, so funny.
I love how passionate you are in your videos, thank you for being so real. Shopping online for plus women is so disheartening xx
I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience with the asos curve brand! I just last week bought quite a bit from the asos curve line and had such a good experience! Sending you so much love!
i relate to this video so much i’ve had a lot of frustrating times where the sizing is inconsistent or the size charts are wrong/non existent and as someone who’s a size 12/14 it can be so much work trying to make sure the sizing will be right... i’m glad you spoke up about this & how companies need to get it together because the struggle is real for us when it shouldn’t be that hard for them to put effort into making sure their clothes are true to size... (ps. i’m so happy i found your channel you’re beautiful inside and out & i’m looking forward to watching more of ur videos 💖)
Wow! An honest haul! Loved the real ness. I liked the vision you were going for too x
I totally understand how you feel, and how frustrating it feels ,you are not alone! i shop on asos alot and it's either way to big or tight around the belly, giving you hugs!
I love the denim skirt and denim dress on you! I did have a chuckle when you put that shirt dress on and the sleeves were so eversized though! Love watching you Katie, keeping it real! 💕
The frustration is so relatable, it's so unfair!
Darn it, I was so hopeful for ASOS. Their stuff looks so nice. Won’t be shopping there now!
Right!? I was actually shocked by this result
Inconsistent sizing is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to clothes. I FEEL YOU!!!! It is so frustrating, especially with having to shop online. I won't be shopping on asos thanks to your review, because I don't want to put myself through that. You looked bloody gorgeous, I loved those white jeans on you.
So relatable beautiful girl, lots of us know that moment! Keep spreading the good word ❤️
I feel like a massive issue with online shopping is that they don’t have the sizing chart for a certain category like jeans, coats etc. they only have general sizing for bottoms, and tops and maybe jumpers. Because I can never find the sizing chart for jeans especially on boohoo. I’ve ordered off boohoo and I checked my measurements, and did their ‘ size chart checker thing which tell you what size of clothing you need. It tried to tell me a size 28 wouldn’t fit me ! I was gobsmacked. Yet I ordered jeans in a size 26 thinking they would be tight as. Turns out they were like 3-4 sizes too big. (( I normally wear a size 18-20 In the clothing that I wear )) . So it’s so stupid how the sizing charts can be way off.
I know things can get hard with body image but I think you look smashing girl. Keep up your confidence because you help me push to wear more clothes out of my comfort zone. And I’m in Sydney ❤️❤️
thank you for uploading. Got a lot inspiration 👏
You are such a beautiful person and an inspiration, I am struggling with my size too... it's a constant struggle. I hope they can be consistent as you said..
I feel you Katie 🥺🤍 I struggle too much with this!
I’m plus size and almost exclusively shop online at City Chic. They have great sales, a great return policy and customer service. I’ve just had too many fails and frustrated shopping experiences elsewhere.... I feel your pain! 💜💜💜
Katie, I’m not plus size but enjoying watching your videos because you’re so real and raw!! I also find it frustrating that even as a size 10, I find sites like PLT and ASOS are so inconsistent with their sizing, makes me feel awful ever time with measure my self and it’s just too small :( my heart broke when you broke down in your video. You’re absolutely gorgeous and perfect in every way x you’re right! This is reality for all of us!!
Thank you for showing your vulnerability, it really helps those of us who aren't as brave as you. This is one of the worst feelings and unfortunately I have had it often as I have an odd shape. We should be able to trust the measurements given to us by brands who market "curve" ranges of clothing. As an aside, you looked stunning in everything that did fit and I find you really inspiring!
I feeeeellll you Katie!!
You are not alone it seems to happen to me on a daily basis 😕 Try to keep the positive you get the good with the bad!?
I love love LOVE your vlogs and your little family x I almost feel like we are great friends 🥰 You got it chick keep it up! 💕
Aww I feel for you!. I can completely relate to this video. I have had so many issues with ASOS sizing that I just don’t bother with them anymore.
So glad I found this. I was thinking of ordering some stuff. I absolutely love Little Party Dress!
Have you tried the brand AtmosandHere Curvy?? I’ve not bought a lot of their pieces but what I have is beautiful 💛
I have never had any luck with ASOS either hun...sizing and quality were always crap. Now I shop at Birdsnest - more pricey but aussie brand and returns are not expensive. But loved the denim dress on you, hopefully they have a bigger size in stock for you x
Im so sorry to see this. Hope you’re better now. I just shopped first time at fashionnova. That was a really good experience 👍😊😊
Relate to this so much and have felt the very way you were in the video. You're amazing 💝
I love the denim skirt on you! Your meltdown really resonated with me - I feel like that so often and try hold it in every time. It's like a boiling pot. Sending so much love to you ♥️
It’s so frustrating isn’t it!!
I totally agree with you. I’m plus sized and it’s frustrating shopping online. I’m crying with you.
I cried with you Katie 😢 it’s not fair and it’s not right, especially since online shopping is sometimes the only option..totally feel you x
😭 i feel u gurl!
This was raw & true, thank u.
U r beautiful😍
The ASOS sizing is so all over the place. I used to get their jeans but have given up now - you aren't allowed legs or a bum
ASOS was the first place I tried online shopping for plus size. The clothes were so inconsistent and unflattering. I had a meltdown also, really gave me no confidence that I'd find anything that would fit. Thankfully I persisted and found City Chic and gave them a try, I've never felt so amazing.
Hey gorgeous I know this video is a little old but do you know where you got the brown belt from at 12:15 minutes?
I've just started shopping at You+all online (ally fashion) would love it if you could do a review of their clothes. Everything I have bought has been true to size and there sizing charts. Im generally a size 20 but an 18 in plus range and i stuck to size 20 on there and it was great for my sizing. Xx
I'm a 18-20 sometimes 22 in asos.. very frustrating to choose such big sizes when it's only because of my large chest.. h&m are even worse when it comes to sizing. 🙄😑 I'm only a large in their basic stuff but otherwise I have to get a size 48-52 I their clothes 🙄😟
aww that oversized shirt reminds me of a child trying to wear dads clothes. Love your video, you're gorgeous xx
Omg that white oversized shirt reminded me of wearing a guys shirt the morning after as you can't wear your nightclub clothes 🤣🤣
So frustrating when you buy online and it looks nothing like the model on the website aswell :(
Pijitplus
oh katie. I just wanna give you a hug and pass you a large glass of wine.Thank you for being our voice Katie
This is why I haven’t shopped at ASOS for years. I hardly every see successful ASOS hauls and it’s turned me off shopping there. You have lots of nice stuff Katie. Don’t be upset think of all the money you saved by returning it all xx
Oh sweetie it was so hard to watch you cry! You are a beautiful girl never forget that! Send it all back!💛💚💙
I wish I could give you a giant hug! I feel this SO much! Nothing more frustrating than following a size chart and being excited for the items and then they don’t fit. And even though, in our minds, we KNOW it’s not really about our body, it’s about crap sizing, it still feels awful! Boo Asos! I stick with City Chic, Eloquii, and Torrid (don’t know of you have Torrid in Australia), since I know their sizing is consistent. Much love from the US ❤️
that white oversized shirt w the brown belt LOOKS SO GOOD, just roll up the sleeves for the length!!
Same happened with me on ASOS USA it showed I m
Size 8 I ordered 8 but didn’t fit ..was super tight like 6 ..
Is Australian sizes the same as UK sizes?
I used to love asos, now though they have been a little all over the place.
Recently I have purchased some things from
Yours Clothing
and I couldn't be happier with them.
Katie your gorgeous don't let shits like Asos get you down, they don't deserve your tears. It's all about not giving a dam what they send out to customers. Head up luv, xxx
Katie you had me in stitches with your reaction to the white shirt and I was laughing with you. I was trying hard not to wake my Husband. But then I cried with you whilst viewing this haul. It is hit and miss with some online fashion stores and gets frustrating. The online stores such as City Chic seem to cater well with women's different sizing and shapes. Cotton-on is one of my favourite fashion stores and the prices are reasonable. xxx
I feel depressed every time I go shopping for clothes (I’m not use to my body after having twins). Despite the outcomes of this video, I enjoyed watching so I know not to bother with ASOS. ❤️❤️ thank you for trying this brand!!
Hugs! I know the pain, I hope your feeling better now.
Would love to see a You and All or boohoo haul 😊 but I also love seeing your city chic ones! You actually convinced me to shop at city chic! 😊
Where do i buy fashion sense please :(
Cute outfits btw 🥰
Girl I feel the pain, it’s not about the number it’s about the clothes!!!
I don’t shop online cause of that reason
Your doing a great job and it’s not your fault
I want to give you a hug
Relatable to all of us shopping online!!!
For the longest time I felt sick trying on clothes even at the store because I always felt horrible when things my size didn’t fit because of the cut and style. Sizing needs to be more consistent. Sending you the biggest hug ❤️
❤️❤️❤️ Everything you said hit the nail on the head. Us plus size girls want to be able to dress like anyone else does.
ASOS is the best hun give it another go, the trick is to use the fit guide on the app (read product info for jeans because they sell so many non-stretch) if the curve model is wearing a size 18 and it looks baggy, it’s safe....if it looks tight and she’s wearing an 18 danger!
I’ve been shopping there for years just for the consistent quality and the range of brands (I shop the plus size ranges for Nike, Calvin Klein etc)
I still have hits and misses but i love that ASOS has extended sizes in regular fitted clothing, sometimes I find all plus size ranges to be filled with prints, jeggings, spandex stretchy clothes that are not my style at all.
i feel so bad for you! i totally understand the frustration. I triple check the size chart and some are definitely hit or miss's. im super tall and the most common issue i have is jeans and skirts being too short
I totally understand this feeling. Ordered three tracksuits from Boohoo all same size... two are slightly to big and one is tight! I feel I have to hunt for good fashion at a size 16-18 but when I was size 12 my world in fashion was so much easier!! And even then, shopping online is still tricky. Sending you so much love and thank you for keeping it real! Xx keep being your beautiful self. I adore your channel ❤️ Sarah xx
Hey babe, I just want to give you a huge hug!! You, me and so many other beautiful curvy ladies are all saying the same and have the same frustrations with sizing.. Its unbelievable that every store has a different size chart and I have personally found that the stores that have the 8-14 range and then add on plus size (which btw is a shit term, why do we have to be referred to plus.. that's for another time lol) I have found they don't actually check sizing and just add the 5cm and call it a size 20 for example. I felt your pain in this video as I am sure every plus size woman has! Thank you for sharing it! I am currently looking at opening my own Fashion online boutique 16-18 and sizing is one thing I am so so so very consious of! One store that I think you may like is a new label called Peach the label xxx Sending you a big cyber hug and thank you for posting this as I am sure it hard to do! xxxxxxx
I’ve had the exact same experience with ASOS before!! :( one order everything was swimming on me then months later, another order everything was skin tight! Ordered the same size & my body hadn’t changed at all... super frustrating! Really wish they were more consistent xx
I think we’ve all had this experience, and you’re 100% right - the size chart is often not accurate, and the brands are definitely not consistent. That being said, I recently had a very good experience with Shein. I used the measurements for each item (as the sizing changes from garment to garment) and everything I ordered fit like an absolute dream. I felt truly amazing and uplifted, which as you said, it was fashion is supposed to do. I know it probably won’t always be perfect, but it was a really nice experience for me to have.
To those who may say that losing weight to be a smaller size and avoid curve ranges is the answer - you can be a 10 in one store and a 16 in another, so the issue here really is consistency across the industry. A man’s size 34 is always a 34... why can’t a 14 be the same regardless of where you shop? To those saying that Katie needs to accept she’s a larger size, I think she clearly says that she doesn’t care about the size and uses the size chart, which unfortunately, can be inaccurate and inconsistent.
Thank you for your honest and raw reaction to this haul - somehow it makes me feel better to know that I’m not the only one who experiences these feelings x
People bag Shein but they are one of the only online retailers that bothers to put up measurements of every garment, so I keep going back to them time and time again.
I am so so sorry you had such a bad experience with this try on. Thank you for sharing your experience though as this just shows how different sizing can be from different companies. You are a beautiful girl! You will find something that looks absolutely stunning on you!
I’m a size 2 and I struggle with finding my right size as well! Sending love from Italy your way
Katie, you are beautiful both inside and out, I love how you keep it real.😊 Have you tried the curve range in Cotton On,bi 've had success with them before.
I have! Love cotton on curve ❤️
New subscriber!!! Very well said message on this video! ❤️
I’ve bought a Lot from ASOS. I’m a pretty standard US 14/uk18. ASOS brand I usually find is sized large. The problem I find is, they sell so many brands. Simply Be fits large, daisy street fits huge, collusion fits huge, pink clove fits small, ax Paris fits small but you have to know every single designer!brand. I always have to size up in a slip dress/skirt, regardless of brand. They are usually cut on the diagonal for beautiful drape but that also means they pull down and that makes them more clingy. I do wish ASOS used reviews to help their customers decide their sizing.
H&M is actually the most inconsistent brand I’ve come across. Worse than Shein (which I actually find very consistent). 💕💕🌸
The sizing issue is painful and so confusing, I feel you. Have you tried the brand You + All ?? They are also having a 35% off sale and have some great dresses for spring/summer 😘
Oh honey I am crying with you now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it is so frustrating.
Isn’t it!! So frustrating 🤦🏻♀️
Oh lovely how frustrating for you,your beautiful inside and out💜 Sending lots of hugs your way 💜💜💜
This is so relatable, I hate that one size Jean can be like 2 sizes bigger in another shops. Deflates your mood straight away and ruins anything else you have bought and haven’t tried on yet xx
Hi katie you and all has some great curve size clothing and I have actually bought some stuff even after I watched the haul you did. Keep up the good work 🙂
Katie, thank you for keeping it real ... which you always do. Asos appear to be promoting a curve range, which it definitely is not, just by looking at your try on's, although I loved the denim dress on you! You're gorgeous and amazing. Stuff Asos
Have you tried the MIX brand they sell at some Coles? Or at least they used to.I've had some nice bits from there.
rahrah_rah I know there is one in Springwood in qld has mix clothing store
@@chloeallen306 Nice! I wasn't sure if they still did it, so that's good to know.
I had this happen to me yesterday with a dress I got from the iconic. I’m a size 14 up top, 16 bottoms. I bought a size 16 dress and I struggled to get the dress on. My partner had to do the side
zip up over my bust and that was with extreme difficulty. The dress was more a 10-12. I have felt so shit since yesterday because it made me feel like the fattest person in the world. Thank you for this video; thank you for making me not feel alone!
Fuck I am obsessed with this video. Absolutely had that crying cuz my belly doesn't fit moment. Found you on tik tok & have added your insta & now youtube too. Incredible honesty but LOVING your tips and outlook. x
Hey hun xo I found ASOS the same. Size charts are off, sized up in stuff I didn’t need to and then sized down in items that I needed to size up in. I sent all my order back. I was so shocked.... I now have 3 companies I stick to as I know I’m a size 22 from that shop or a xl in that shop. I never seem to have size problems at city chic because I believe it’s all the same size so no matter the cut of jeans I am a XL.
Girl, I totally understand how frustrated you feel! I absolutely HATE shopping because of the inconsistency.
Ooh Katie thankyou for being vulnerable on camera you empower all women x
Thank you so much xx
