I would love to see a video on "getting my clothes tailored." I think it would be a great platform to discuss both sustainability and body-inclusivity. I'm also just curious, because it's always been something I've wanted to try but don't know how much it would cost, what kind of alterations can be made, and how easy it is to do.
THIS!! I'm not plus-sized but I'm very short and curvy, so finding clothes that fit my proportions right off the rack is really difficult. Especially for business casual/professional items, which you really need to fit well on your body.
Yes, totally agree! My weight has fluctuated a lot in the last few years and I hate having to buy new clothes when my body changes when I could easily get things taken in. Always curious about the process and the cost!
agreed!
I agree would be very interested in a video on tailoring xxx
tailoring is pretty expensive, I had my pants hemmed to be shorter and it was $20 each. they said to bring in the waist was $40 so I passed
I love that you did a more thorough try out for the top three, sometimes it makes a big difference using something for several hours rather than just a quick try on.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
tip with all denim: NEVER put them in the dryer, always air dry them after washing, they’ll be a little stiff but shake them out and after 5 minutes of wearing they’ll be perfect again, i haven’t had any issues with waists stretching out since ive been doing this with new denim
thanks for the tip!
I thought dryers made the waist more tight?
@@rotisserie8444 if there’s elastane or spandex in the jeans, the dryer will burn the plastic and make the jeans bag out.
Sierra, I used to work at Madewell and the denim stretch is something we always try and warn customers about! A quick tip is to check the fabric makeup of each pair of jeans/shorts you try on. The more cotton there is in the fabric, the more they will stretch! If you find a pair you like that has a higher cotton content (Like in the mid to high 90s) we usually say to find the size that fits your perfectly in the dressing room, and then buy at least the next size down!
Huh? This makes no sense to me. Denim is literally just cotton in a twill weave so should always be 100% cotton. Besides, cotton has very little elasticity anyway. It's the elastane content that determines the stretch hence the name.
@@duck6100 Hi, sorry for the confusion! Yes, elastane will make the jeans stretchy. But this kind of stretch is like that of skinny jeans, it will stretch when you put them on, and then when you take them off should bounce back to its original size. Think like a rubber band. Cotton doesn't stretch, so sorry for my poor word choice, but what I meant is that it will *relax*. Think about the neckline of your cotton shirts after a few wears and washes, and how they lose their shape! That is what I meant! So the jeans with a lot of cotton won't feel stretchy like a rubber-band, but will loosen and lose their shape after really just one wear. And no, not all jeans are 100% cotton. Very few are actually true denim anymore. Hope this helps!
Carrie Dayton talked about the rollbacks too, and it is only affecting like 75 stores in the US, out of over 1100. And it's only in stores where the plus sizes aren't really being bought. That seems like a smart business decision, not a slight against plus size people or their BODEQUALITY initiative.
At Walmart? I noticed that the other day their Jean shorts were $5.
This! It's so annoying for people to be like "I don't like old navy anymore." Like they still offer more than almost every other brand in their stores and online!
I agree that it’s a smart business decision. I think stores should cater to their clientele and who actually shops there. If your store is constantly selling out of sizes 0-12 and the clearance section is full of all your larger sizes, then it doesn’t make sense to waste floor space on larger sizes. And the flip side is also true. If you are located in a place like West Virginia where over 72% of people are plus size, it makes sense to carry more larger sizes and skip the XXS and size 0’s.
So they say 75 stores but a plus size tiktoker went through and very few of the 1100 stores carry the extended sizes. So either not many carried it to begin with or navy more than 75 stores were effected.
@@jax422 I agree that it’s a smart decision. However, I’m from WV and most clearance stuff is still mostly plus sized. I wear a medium or large and rarely find things in my size when it comes to the clearance section.
The thing with old navy is they're only rolling back that inclusivity in something like 10% of their stores and only in the stores where those sizes were under performing. They still have all sizes in a vast majority of their stores and online they have so many options. And they are still one of the most inclusive brands size wise.
Old Navy is still awesome and really inclusive! It's the only one of these stores that even makes my size (4x/30 at Old Navy). It should still be supported above these others stores if you care about an inclusive size range and affordable prices. Even though they rolled back some sizes in some stores, they are still better than literally every other brand on this list for inclusivity! 😊
Old Navy's denim is so weird though. And you can get up to a 4x in store at Walmart!
The mention of rocks with the dad shorts review from A&F makes me want more rock collecting and tumbling videos. Probably easier on the main channel but this video made me think of that. Also wonder how grace would engage with the process if she would even be interested.
This!
same!!!
You're posting this at such an amazing time! I was literally going to go shopping for new shorts this weekend.
same here, Sierra is the best!
Its so crazy to me how inclusive a&f is now after them being so anti fat in the early 2000s! My shorts from a&f are my favorite.
"anti-fat" 💀
I was thinking the same thing! I'm happily surprised that they really changed.
LOVED the moment @ 9:05 where you listed stuff you would put in your pockets hahaha you know, essentials, like snacks and pretty rocks
Love the format of this video! So nice to get a first impression and detailed review/wear-test to help determine the winner. Thank you!
LITERALLY just decluttered my closet and donated all of my denim shorts that didn't fit anymore. Perfect timing!!!
I wish there was a way to filter bottoms by level of distressing in addition to rise, colour, and size. I may be the odd one out here but I hate distressing and raw hems, but that’s what’s been in style for a while now, so finding shorts that fit my small frame and have the rise level I want that aren’t ripped has been a struggle.
Great, thorough review as always Sierra!
My favorite denim shorts are a pair of men's knee shorts with a stretchy/drawstring waist band. I got them in the men's section at Walmart for $14, I can fit two bottles of propel water in one pocket plus my hand. They're so comfortable and soft and stretchy.
Love this video! Another short you absolutely HAVE to try though is the Shiny By Nature shorts!! They are a small women owned business based in NYC that specifically design their shorts for curvier bodies! Amazing size range and great quality. Highly recommend!!
they also make a skirt for people with bigger butts and it's slightly longer in the back so it ends up looking the same length all the way around! I got mine last week and LOVE it
@@beccacleveland3116 I have that one too! It’s my absolute favorite skirt! Such an amazing brand
YES! I was about to comment this.
Was about to say this!!!
i live for these “trying to find the best…” videos
the levi shorts were so stinkin cute on you, really expected them to be the winner! but abercrombie came thrrooughhhhh 👀❤️ enjoy your fuss-free summer, girl!
Worked for a website that curated plus size brands and whenever I did some reseaon potential new brands I experienced the same thing of clicking on the largest sizes and most things weren't available.
We had a rule that at least 50% of things had to be available in their largest size but usually went more for 70% and kept and eye on the brands if they had less.
Fucking sucks if you can only shop for very few styles when the site advertises a lot more.
That’s such a great rule of thumb!
What is the website?
2²²
I had to start altering my pants at 13!
I would take the stitching out of the back pockets and sew darts from mid pocket level to the waist, then re sew the pockets back down♥️
Madewelle shorts fits you like heaven, I love it on you
Mom, grandma and kiddo on the beach… all just being style icons! 💕Love the test-out addition to the try-on. Very helpful.
JUST what I needed 🙌🙌 Also, your hair is looking amazing, Sierra!!
I love how in depth this is. I always wonder about how items change with wear!!!
We need a brutally honest review of Abercrombie!
I would love to see a similar video but with price blindness! Where you don’t know what price each shorts are!!
I like the Abercrombie Mom shorts on you! I love how you wear them and not just try them on bc a lot of denim changes during the day 🥴
So excited to see how all of these compare!
This video was sooo well put together and loved the length. Thanks for being so thorough ❤
You have the most original content and I feel like you’ve made the stride for the changes for the last few years and I LOVE IT!!
I always get very excited for your videos. They are just so well made, have a great structure and i never get bored. Thank you for putting in the time to make videos for us that are not only entertaining but also very high quality. Love you!!! :) ❤❤❤
I’m literally loving the revamp of your channel. I’ve been watching you for years and it’s so fun to watch you and your friends do these videos! ❤
I have been struggling to find shorts all summer and I never would have considered to look at Abercrombie, Madewell, or Levis! Growing up both Abercrombie and Levis were stereotypical ultra-thin and “rich” stores, and in Indiana Madewell doesn’t even exist! Having always been chunkier than my peers (and poorer usually), most of these brands felt like spaces I wasn’t allowed or welcome to exist in. As a more financially stable, but still fat, adult I’m so glad to see brands starting to change and open up to the communities they’ve outcasted for so long. Gotta add that I am still pissed about AE and Old Navy rolling back on their inclusivity. They’ve been safe havens for the plus community for awhile and the Bid Equality campaign should have been ground breaking. Frustrating to see another “1 step forward, 2 steps back” kind of situation.
I'm not sure what part of Indiana you're in but if you're close to Indianapolis there's a madewell store there!
@@katherinemarie4844 I no longer live in Indiana, but I was from the South Bend region! I live north of Houston, TX now and there's a Madewell about 6 minutes down the road, but I've never been in lol
Thank you so much for including shorts that come in both straight and plus sizes!! I love the inclusivity ❤️
Fellow thick-thighed sister here-it has been such a struggle to find denim shorts that fit well and that I feel good in, so thank you for this video!! I’m looking forward to trying some of these!
Check out Old Navy A-line denim shorts. My daughter has thicker more muscular legs and she LOVES them. She usually has issues with legs being tight but these are great.
@@holly5715 this is exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you for the recommendation!
I really appreciate your in depth reviews & quality of your reviews on all your videos like this. So good & helpful!
Thank you sierra for this thorough investigation!!!
Your hair looks SO AMAZING throughout this whole video.
Girl I needed this last week !! I was shorts shopping for DISNEYLAND ❤️❤️❤️
Your hair is looking lovely! That curly girl method has done wonders for your hair!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My favorite were the madewell shorts, too, before I even saw your final score. I'm glad you actually tested the shorts throughout those days. I guess you can't judge THAT book by it's cover alone.
Video idea! Trying different curl style methods each time you wash your hair. Bowl method, air dry, diffusing, plopping vs micro plopping, brush curls, etc!
WE LOVE HONEY also perfect timing as I’m getting rid of all of my shorts that no longer fit. Can you do your next video on easy summer dresses to wear to the beach/pool? There’s so many body on and more dressy ones right now but I can’t find anything easy and lightweight 😅
So my favorite thing from American eagle is their curvy line!!! Their curvy jeans and curvy shorts fit so perfectly! I highly recommend trying them!
This is awesome! Would love a “skort” styling and review video! Like anything from denim, athletic, dressy!
I’ve had such a hard time trying to find denim shorts this summer and as someone who’s about a size 18 or so, I’m so glad you posted this video! I’m totally gonna check out some of these shorts!!!
Seeing the Ava and Viv shorts warms my heart. The best jeans I ever owned were by them. I no longer fit into plus sizes but, if I did, ALL of my denim would be Ava and Viv.
Loving how the Madewell shorts look on you! Very flattering. 🥰
I think the first pair that are marketed as "low rise" are actually meant to be worn low on the hips. So even though the rise seems high, they're designed to be a bit of a drop crotch.
I’m so happy you posted!!! I’m on a road trip and so bored😭 love ya girl💕
I LOVE Abercrombie pockets!! Always so deep
Love the thoroughness you put into your reviews! So very helpful in minimizing the frustration of clothing shopping I feel anymore ♥️ the only thing I feel like chipping in on would be the recommendations for the shorts after the wear test. Just for me, a human shaped like a potato, those madewell shorts sound fantastic! I have such a hard time finding bottoms period that will accommodate my larger than average waist. So the give sounds like a dream come true. I guess only that I would add that they’re more catered to a different shape, but wonderful video ♥️ Always enjoy watching!
Its the "snacks, rocks, so many possibilities!!" For me! Lol
You should do a video on different tricks to keep short bottoms rolled up. One thing that
Drives me crazy I love my shorts rolled at the bottom but it never fails for it to fall down while I am anywhere . Would love to learn tricks to keep it rolled .
Sierra talking about the dad short pockets: So much room for activities!
Put suspenders on if you're seriously putting rocks in your pocket, lol. Total urkel moment....right back to the 90s
You need to try the old navy high waisted A-line shorts. Got them for my daughter who has more muscular legs and they fit her so perfectly since the legs are a-line cut.
I haven't tried the old navy ones but absolutely second trying a-line shorts for people with bigger thighs! I got a few a-line shorts from target this summer and I love them.
So early ahhhh I love your vids Sierra you have given me so much more confidence and joy over the years!
ava & viv shorts are my go-to! i’m a 16 and always have to size down in the brand!
I wish there was a video like this about bralettes
Excellent timing! I’m looking to get shorts bht I hate how I look in them! But I think you look so good in them! Giving me the confidence to try tp wear them!
I like to think this is someone’s first video of yours and they’re like, “did she say she wanted t put rocks in her pockets?!” 😂
i was SO excited to see this video after seeing the vlog! so fun
Ava and Viv are my FAVES. I’ve worn them for years.
Size down on all of them (your top 4) and do a follow up video. You really want them to be just a bit too tight when you put them on fresh - because they obviously stretch IMMEDIATELY. I’d love to see you try a range of 3 sizes - one that’s a bit tight and one that’s even tighter on first try-on, and see how they wear the rest of the day.
This is the exact video I needed. Guess I'm gonna do some shopping. You are great!
I literally bought my first pair of jean shorts in about 8 years this month. And they were the Levi Strats. I LOVE THEM. And then I went back to Walmart and got some time and tru and am OBSESSED. WITH THOSE!
Wearing them for a day is the best idea ever. Thank you
It really is so hard to find the right shorts! Thank you for doing the wear tests to show how differently each pair wears!
I actually really enjoyed this video even though I never wear shorts. Im a strictly skirt and dreas girl. This was just pleasant and relaxing to watch! The length was awesome too! Some of us love longer videos!
I get the high-rise Bermuda shorts from Ava and Viv and...chef's kiss! They are my go-to every summer. This video was great! Thank you!
This video was well done and extremely helpful! Thank you 😊 💓
I love the dad shorts!
Ahhh need part two with small inclusive brands like Shiny By Nature!!
I know that main channel isn't something you always love doing, but I always love your videos, especially clothing ones💕
Loved this video. The Levis and the number ones looked soooooo cute on you! (Well, they were all cute on you but those 2 worked best!)
Madewell demon runs quite big!! Always size down. They’ll be a bit small when you first put them on but within a small amount of time they fit and stay perfectly!
Yes! I worked at Madewell and I swear most things run large at Madewell
So excited to see my own pair and suggestion (Target Ava+Viv) in the top three! I think you picked well taking everything into account: fit, quality, comfort, price, AND size inclusivity within style options. I love the Ava ones but it’s technically Target’s plus brand, so they wouldn’t be available for anyone smaller than a 14. I still love mine and got three washes for $13.99 each during a sale!! Will definitely look into those Abercrombie ones though they were super cute!!
So many great finds🤩 Those Madewell shorts looked bomb💣 Seems like you could have sized down in all of them almost?
I’ve never had a good time with shorts and generally avoided them, but this video makes me excited to hunt for a good pair in summer (it’s currently winter in my corner of the world🦘🐨).
Loved this! I am a size 18, so very helpful! Who knew Target shorts would be better than American eagle my go to jean!
Thank you!! I have one pair of old navy that gives so much chub rub, so this was a much needed video for me 😅 future video idea/request: with all the online shopping you do, have you picked up any tips/tricks to get the right sizing or measure yourself right? Idk I just can't seem to ever get it right and have to order 3 sizes of everything 😬
Your shorts wishlist would definitely match mine 👍 though $130 is too steep a price for me so I'll stick with the cheaper ones ☺️
Those dad shorts look amazing on you!
Can been waiting for this video since I heard about it on your vlog channel!! ❤️
I loovvvve the levi‘s shorts on you!!💗
Love the dad shorts on you!
I had no idea Abercrombie & Fitch made shorts above size 8...Would never even think of shopping there without this video. The shorts are super cute too, thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you did this video! I think the Madewell shorts were the cutest, but omg that stretching! I’m laughing so hard at you putting both your arms in 😂😂
Got to the Walmart section of the vid and just have to say I ALWAYS have to size up with their clothing! I’m not sure why this is, but it seems almost everything from there is smaller, especially pants and skirts. It’s really interesting to see the sizing difference just between brands, thanks for taking the time to compare! 💕
Your hair looks so good
I vote for sizing down those dad shorts!!
would love to see a full abercrombie haul
Such a great timely video.
Thank you for doing this! I wouldn't know where to start otherwise. Now it's time to go buy me some shorts! ❤️👍🏻
They all looked great on you but those last AF pair were chef's kiss
such a great video !! The levis 501 seems great, I might give them a try!
This was so helpful. Thank you 😊
You are the best. Thanks for doing this!
Would love to see a whole video on Abercrombie!
My favorites look wise if you could nail the sizing are the Abercrombie Dad shorts and the Madewell shorts.
