Me too. I felt myself in her shoes. It broke my heart she felt like that. But it broke my heart more that I would feel just as bad about myself doing that picture. That must have been so hard. However sierras curves were Every thing in that shot!
Yes, plus not everything is flattering on every body. I feel like if the panties were just a bit higher in the waist, they would have giver her tummy smoother look, and it would have made a big difference.
Watching Sierra get upset broke my heart, literally broke it. You are so beautiful inside and out girlfriend. You’re the reason so many of us UA-cam lovers have confidence to wake up and walk out of the house everyday. You’re an inspiration ♥️
Skinny is beautiful, plus size is beautiful, mid size is beautiful, ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for making this and not turning it into skinny shaming but truly speaking into just empowering women
Well people who say that are right. It’s not healthy. Sierra is not that much overweight so she is fine, but there are some plus sized influencers who are Morbidly obese and that is not fine.
Shouto Todoroki yeah but people seem to have no problem with a skinny person who eats hot Cheetos and donuts and a whole bunch of other unhealthy foods everyday. I mean I’ve seen it were an overweight girl got 2 pieces of pizza and was called a fat*ss but this skinny girl got 4 and no one batted an eye.
Damn I clicked on this to be entertained and just binging on your videos. Now I'm here crying because we're the same size, same type of body shape and I'm here thinking you look beautiful while you're crying. Like, idk it's just eye opening
Alexa Poppy No problem, just sick of the bullshit lies that are forced on us every day. Well guess what! Curvy, thin, tall, short, black, white, Asian, straight, gay, disabled, old and young. We are diverse and we are all beautiful. We are strong, we are powerful, we are women. ❤️
when you started crying it took me back to HS when i cried in the dressing room because I didn't look like Farrah Fawcett in that damn red bathing suit!! That was like 40 years ago and I STILL remember that feeling. Thanks for doing this.
@@mayapegues7666 I'm in the same place as you both!! It literally broke my heart because looking at her photos and watching the shoot I'm thinking "I wish I looked like that!" and seeing her cry because she thought it wasn't pretty or sexy made me cry!

My mom took me there for my first bra, and they measured me in front of a model who was perfectly proportioned and then I found out I was barely an A. I remember holding back tears while trying on the bras. I felt so inadequate. It's crazy.
You’re beautiful too Carrie! You and Sierra both make me feel better about being a plus size girl. I’ve gained more confidence just from watching both your videos
“For every girl who’s walked into a Victoria’s Secret fitting room saw that photo and wanted to cry” I felt that. I’m crying. This video means so much to me and so many girls out there thank you so much, genuinely 💓
The worst part to me is all of the plus size teens that walk into Victoria's Secret with their friends and they are the only one that doesn't fit in any of the sizes and can't fit and they have to pretend that nothing is wrong but when they are alone in that moment they brake down and it happens to much and I feel so terrible for everyone who has gone through something like that

Oh girl halfway through the video I cried after you spoke about your body and inspiring other girls. Oh girl. I went back to school shopping and got my first real bra. (I normally wear sports bras). And I felt so awful and terrible about myself. Honestly I'm a athletic body. I wished I looked like you. it took so long for me to find something that actually looked good on me. I just went through your saying in my head, "it's the clothes not my body" and it really helped. Thank you! Your are amazing. You are a inspiration. You are gorgeous. Don't forget that. I love you🥰
I have always been a little chubbier and curvier than most of my old classmates. And it took me a long time for me to feel good about myself. So I can understand where you are coming from
It hit me hard when she said that a little girl probably walked into the fitting room saw the picture and it made them cry cause they don’t look like that... she seriously described my first experience with Victoria Secret
I have a similar body type to the VS models and those pictures in the store and everywhere STILL made me feel less than beautiful as a teenager. So basically, Sierra is a freaking revolutionary to me 💜💜💜
The other thing too is I feel like you can't win because if you're thinner you always get told that you're too thin and vice versa. After years of being picked apart, it feels great for us all to be making ourselves whole again.
Hey you're beautiful! Models are made to make all of us feel insecure because that's what sells products. No one can achieve that ideal, not even the models themselves, they're made up and photoshopped as heck. Have an amazing day and remember that you're gorgeous just the way you are!

SO MANY of us, have had that cry that you had there, the damn WHY do I have to look this way, but also WHO CARES how I look, its not WRONG its not hurting anyone its just society and maybe the president of v.s. who should just leave the chat. You are so strong and, well, thank you.
We all need a Skylar in our lives, seriously girl! You are BFF goals!! On a separate note, this is so female empowerment 👏👏👏 I salute you and your team and everything you all stand for!! Victoria Secret is missing out on having beautiful women like you wear their brand 🔥😍🙌🏽
thank you for telling the truth about the VS models, especially the water thing, that was so shocking to me!! all of your photos turned out amazing and I really love your positivity, it really helps me be more body positive about myself
I’ve been overweight my whole life and I genuinely wish I grew up with a role model as strong and beautiful as you. Thank you so much for doing this and posting this video. You’re beautiful inside and out, and you should own it. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
UwU Absolutely! It could've spared me a lot of self hate and desperate diets who just made me feel miserable. Everything those diets did was make me gain even more weight afterwards and show me the absolute wrong way to eat. I had to learn to love myself for years...
When sierra started talking about how she hated the picture I started to cry, I struggle with body confidence and you inspire me so much. You are the most beautiful ever sierra I love you. Every body is beautiful
I totally cried with you. You can be the most body positive person ever but society still finds ways to bring you down at times. That’s why we need more people like you. We need to fight back. Loved this. ❤️
The last photo was the best!! Also I have a lot of body image issues myself I totally understand ur reaction in photo #2 but I'm glad u pushed through!!
So glad you did this video. I *am* a supposed "perfect" size at a size 2/4 and I still feel like I look nothing like these girls in these ads and it's frustrating to think that even as a small girl, I can't live up to these standards. I had no idea so much make up and stuff went into these pictures. No wonder we can't live up to it! I'd actually love to see similar side-by-side photos with a girl who is the same size as the VS models but a real life size 2 girl who doesn't live in the gym or wear body makeup. I think it would be really body positive to show that it isn't even about what size you are because small girls don't look like VS models either.
Honestly i Go to the gym very often and i just never look like that. Only when i don't eat in the morning and im still muscular and my breast and butt is way bigger..
It's like they're trying to sell us this impossible fantasy. Even after losing 130lb and spending a fortune on skin removal I still am too self conscious to wear a bikini
Maura Zimmerman people actually look like that without dehydrate themselves being skinny is not unhealthy they do that to get a little bit of a flat stomach not to lose weight
Sierra, I am 43 years old, have struggled with body image all my life, and being pregnant has forever changed my body, but I look up to YOU SO VERY MUCH for your strength and attitude and wish I had such a role model when I was younger. I will definitely be sharing these videos with my daughter when she hits her teens, and I truly hope she takes your messages of body positivity to heart. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there like this and sharing your message. 🤩♥️
When I had my baby I gained 40 pounds and it’s been a year since then and I hated my body, I’ve even cried in the mirror. But everything changed once I started watching your videos and you’ve made me embrace my body. I love you and keep changing people minds of how they see them self. Everyone’s beautiful!❤️
Dude, first of all! Congrats on your baby, I hope they're doing well. Secondly. Gaining weight from pregnancy is normal. Remember how straining pregnancy is on your body. Having a child is badass. HOWEVER. I hope that you can continue to learn to feel better about your body because you're still beautiful and you deserve to love yourself again!!❤
No lie, this made me cry, such a beautiful message! My son heard your voice and got the biggest smile when he saw you talking, your energy lights up the room Sierra, keep being your beautiful self!
As a 50 year old mom of boys in their early 20’s. Thank you. You reach such a variety of audiences. You are an amazing role model. These body image issues are so far reaching for what we are brainwashed into believing is perfect. Women, men and all identities in between, all ages as well. You’re adorable but the beauty you radiate from with in makes my mom heart so happy. Keep doing the awesome things you’ve doing and being so real
I truly support this video, as an anorexia recoverer I love the point your trying to get across. Just please, please dont forget that these models are humans to. The people telling them to diet or editing the pictures to be unrealistic are in the wrong. Not the girls behind the photoshop, behind the picture.
Fleur Palmen she did say she feels badly for them for what they have to experience and how much they suffer, I think she totally gets that they’re being put in a horrible situation
Aryana Pariaug she tells everyone to love their body, how is that not inclusive of all sizes? She’s never once put a thin person down for being thin. Just because she’s curvy and can better relate to a curvy person, doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about the rest.
schasse2011 I agree with you, yet it is more often taken that skinny girl must have it ‘easier’ which I think is rather delusional. (coming from a curvier girl)
I never cry from bopo stuff. Like never. But watching her take the second photo and seeing the result and genuinely thinking "wow, she looks so beautiful" almost brought me to tears. She's so real and beautiful and she actually looks like me but she's still freaking beautiful. Ahhh I'm all in my feelings
I literally felt exactly how you were feeling in that second photo SO MANY TIMES. You look so beautiful. Not “plus size beautiful”, but BEAUTIFUL for any woman.
As long as you are not on the extreme ends. One extreme side is anorexia and the other is obesity. I know some will say bodies of anorexia can look different. I am talking about the kind where you are just bones.Every body is beautiful. Keep yourself healthy. Lose or gain weight to be more healthy, not more beautiful.
It's their choice if they want their models to have one body type. That's fine. Not all retailers want plus sized or bigger sizes to model their clothes, and that's okay.
I believe that all body types are beautiful but I also believe that different companies are allowed to be targeted towards a certain body type. A thin model would never be hired for a plus size company like Torrid (etc) and we think that is ok so I think it is ok for Victoria’s secret to be targeted towards thinner women. There are brands for every body type, so it is ok if not all of them are targeted towards all body shapes. I wish people would realize that body positivity isn’t only for larger people. A lot of thinner people are insecure because they aren’t curvy or “thicc” enough, and brands like Victoria’s secret that only have thinner models can empower them too, just like a plus size brand empowers bigger women (which also is wonderful).
This helped me today. I have struggled with eating disorders for about 3,5 years, with some days better than others. Today was a bad day but when I saw this video some of those bad thoughts of mine faded away, making them resistible. So thank you!
When Sierra said “ for every girl that walked into a Victoria Secret dressing room to get their first bra with their mom” this hit me so hard because I was that girl when I was little also! Thank you Sierra! Your are helping me and so many others in so many ways with your videos!
Sierra - this is so incredible. i am so incredibly proud of the body positive journey that you are on. i look forward to being on that path myself. by making these videos, as you already know, you aren’t just improving your own self esteem, but everyone else struggling with their own self image. thank you and keep owning it!
Excuse me while I just cry my eyes out when Sierra starts tearing up! Also. I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to see this video and these absolutely amazing photos! These are complete masterpieces!
I work at Soma Intimates, we are a body positive “lingerie” store, just like Victoria’s Secret but so much better! Soma is all inclusive no matter what size you are and it shows in all of our ads no matter where you look. We have real sizes and we measure the way you should be measured. The way Victoria’s Secret measures women for bras in wrong and inaccurate, so if you’re ever looking for a good, cute, and reliable bra that you’ll love, try out Soma Intimates!!
I used to work there and loved it! Everything is true to size and they are so body positive. We were located across the street from VS and they would send women over to us all the time
@@avocadoll7285 from my experience because they dont offer a large range of sizes they will purposely tell women a "sister size" that is significantly off just to make a sale. Like trying to sell a woman who is a 40D a 36DDD
avocadoll Victoria Secret sizing is wildin, it’s like they just play banagrams with letters and numbers and tell you that’s your size. They’ve given both me and my sister sizes that are way too box at the band and small in the cups, and I’ve seen the opposite happen to friends, too!! It makes no sense, because all they need to do is measure!
Im honestly so glad i came across your channel a few months ago. I love your confidence and attitude. Your videos make me feel way more confident and to not care what people think. You are and inspiration to many people i love watching you ❤️😭
jvce I know, I feel like I’ve seen Candice on a regular day and she’s stunning but that photo of her... yikes she looks like a stick figure, I’d much rather she went natural
Keren Oparaugo she is naturally thin and doesn’t need to starve herself or not drink water or be photoshopped to oblivion, that’s my point. No one is a whale, don’t twist my words. I’m just saying that Candace the model in that photo does not look healthy the way they’ve photographed her.
When you started to cry I started to cry. You’re literally standing there looking so amazing but because we always compare ourselves to unrealistic standards it’s so hard to see 😭
You’re beautiful. I’m a new subscriber, and you have so inspired me. I have struggled with weight my entire life, and all of your body positive videos and just positive vibes in general have really uplifted my spirits and I definitely look forward to watching more of your content. Thank you so much for all of your and your team’s hard work & for being a voice for all of us rejects 💕
@@rileyhehe883 check out adore me!! It's been popping up in malls that have Victoria's secret but also it's online! I have a really difficult bra size (34G, or 34DDDD) and they carry it in store! They can also size you because I've found with Victoria's secret that if they don't actually carry your size they will size you as your sister size. Like I was told I was a 36DD, and the band was too loose and the cups a little too small but it's all I had so I thought it was fine. Worth a try!! ❤️
I’m so happy this video exists...I wish it had when I was in High School/Middle School. Thank you for putting yourself out there for this and getting out of your comfort zone. You’re gorgeous!
I'm 19 and I've never been in a Victoria secret. I don't ever intend to either. I've never understood the hype around it and ive never approved of the company overall.
Lavinia Retta i heard that their lingeries are so comfy, and even though I have never entered there too (the VS in my country don’t sell lingeries), i gotta admit that their PINK line is kinda cute. I disagree with them though, they’re a bit toxic.
During the second one, I was so inspired because my thighs are like that and I’m so insecure, but it made me want to cry happy tears because it was so inspiring if that makes any sense. I love your videos, Sierra!!
That video meant a lot to me! Thank you so much for being the positive, brave and amazing role model you are. I've recently gained a significant amount of weight and finding your channel was an important part of the process of learning how to love myself in my new shape. It's really hard and quite new, but you are definitely someone that gives me the courage to embrace my new self - on not going on crazy ass diets/starving myself etc and for that, I can't thank you enough ( and I quite literally cried when you talked about the girl not recognizing herself in Victoria Secret's posters)
skinny is beautiful plus size is beautiful big and small and cis and trans and everything in betweeen is BEAUTIFUL, natural, is beautiful. Love you sierra💜
This is what I like about your channel. A lot of people will try to cater to a plus size audience by denouncing skinny girls as "fake" or even unhealthy. I like your approach to this video. That's why I think anyone can watch your videos, you're not catering to one audience over the other, you truly are just promoting body positivity. A+
That second photo... I'm crying. I can relate to that. I do relate to that. You are beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, yet you get on yourself just like the rest of us, even though we shouldn't. You are so real, and that's why you're my favorite. I just love you so much. Thank you for showing us, your viewers, so much love always. I appreciate you and you work so incredibly much.
girl SAME. and crying because i couldn’t share clothes with/didn’t look like my 00 sized cousin. ladies, don’t cry over jeans. if sierra has taught us anything, jean sizes LIE.
I worked at VS over the holidays and it made me feel so bad about myself as a plus sized woman. I felt like a little girl who was gross and didn’t belong anywhere, I definitely don’t ever want to work there again. They claim to be about body positivity and women empowerment in store but they aren’t.
I worked there at my biggest, 38-40DD, and was told to buy my own special size while others got free product. Every launch I was left out or had to buy my special size, until I lost around 60lbs. Around that time I quit. The very last time I visited I was too small for their store, somewhere just below a 22D and still had to order online, still no in-store try-ons. Even when I was 'skinny' the '#1 lingerie store" couldn't help a screwed up body like mine. It took me a long time to get past that. And I still feel icky walking by a display or seeing their name on clothing. VS was a terrible job for a teen suffering bulimia and anorexia.
I started working there almost 2 months. My boss is plus sized even another coworker is. I know we do have a transmodel and plus size model. I will say as someone not anywhere near these models their statement did offend me however I have seen them make improvements
I remember having a bad experience at Victoria Secret that goes hand and hand with this whole experiment. Probably 2 years ago I walked into a Victoria secret and wanted a specific bra and it wasn’t made in my size and the worker was so incredibly rude and disgusted and bothered by me that I left crying before I even got out of the mall.. so proud of your for doing this shoot for all the girls like us who struggle with things like this. I totally forgot about that experience until I saw your video and made me so appreciative that there’s girls going against what companies like this are doing 😘
Sierra’s commentary for the second photo was so real and touching. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard watching a UA-cam video. Just last night, I was looking through photos in my phone of myself next to my beautiful yet petite friends, sobbing. The comparison of their slim skinniness next to my more athletic and full body was disgusting to me. Pictures have always been a aspect of my life which document my body insecurities and can highlight just how different my body is. The same goes for walking into a Victoria Secret store and seeing the effortlessly perfect pictures of models on the wall, and feeling like I’m inadequate in the dressing room. I’ve always felt alone in these deeply hurtful situations compared to my petite girl friends, my petite mom, or any of my other petite loved ones. Thank you so much Sierra for being so raw and vulnerable with us in this shoot, especially with the second picture. I’ve never felt so understood before according to my body insecurities and comparisons, and it is so comforting to not feel alone.
When she started tearing up during the 2nd photo, tears came to my eyes, ahhhh
Yasssss I felt what she was feeling.
Me too. I felt myself in her shoes. It broke my heart she felt like that. But it broke my heart more that I would feel just as bad about myself doing that picture. That must have been so hard. However sierras curves were Every thing in that shot!
Yes, plus not everything is flattering on every body. I feel like if the panties were just a bit higher in the waist, they would have giver her tummy smoother look, and it would have made a big difference.

oh okay I was eating chocolate covered pretzels 💕
SO MANY of us, have had that cry that you had there, the damn WHY do I have to look this way, but also WHO CARES how I look, its not WRONG its not hurting anyone its just society and maybe the president of v.s. who should just leave the chat. You are so strong and, well, thank you.
We all need a Skylar in our lives, seriously girl! You are BFF goals!!
On a separate note, this is so female empowerment 👏👏👏 I salute you and your team and everything you all stand for!!
Victoria Secret is missing out on having beautiful women like you wear their brand 🔥😍🙌🏽
thank you for telling the truth about the VS models, especially the water thing, that was so shocking to me!! all of your photos turned out amazing and I really love your positivity, it really helps me be more body positive about myself
I’ve been overweight my whole life and I genuinely wish I grew up with a role model as strong and beautiful as you. Thank you so much for doing this and posting this video. You’re beautiful inside and out, and you should own it. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
UwU Absolutely! It could've spared me a lot of self hate and desperate diets who just made me feel miserable. Everything those diets did was make me gain even more weight afterwards and show me the absolute wrong way to eat. I had to learn to love myself for years...
You should do this, but with some of your friends in all different shapes, sizes, and colors for a video. In my head, that looks really dope.
Yesssss, I love this
I've been looking for an all size all color runway photo shoot and it hasn't happened yet.
Yea she should but she thinks only a bigger body is beautiful and not a skinny girl and it’s annoying
Gracie Where did you get that message from?
Gracie she literally compliments thin people all the time? Give me a line from her that makes you think she doesn’t?
This. Takes. Guts. Well done, Sierra. I applaud what you are doing for body positivity.
When sierra started talking about how she hated the picture I started to cry, I struggle with body confidence and you inspire me so much. You are the most beautiful ever sierra I love you. Every body is beautiful
She should be on magazine covers..little girls out there thinking "i m not beautiful enough" need it....💖
"Regardless of the fact that i'm not a size two and I don't have makeup on my ass."
-Sierra 2019
I LOVE the fact that you bought the pieces secondhand!
same!
When your voice cracked, then Skyler's did, I cried 😭😭. The power of women empathizing with other women and empowering them 🙌
I love how the people watching your videos are feelimg more body positivity bc your a amazing role model
Crying with you during the second shoot, ugh I felt that. Thank you for doing what you do!
Kimberly Hernandez me too! This was so beautiful and inspiring and powerful!
Meeee too!!
Literally what i wanted to comment bc same
I totally cried with you. You can be the most body positive person ever but society still finds ways to bring you down at times. That’s why we need more people like you. We need to fight back. Loved this. ❤️
When you started crying, it broke my heart. I just wanted to give you a hug.❤️
me too!
I started crying..I have felt that way 1000s of times.
Me too!! BIG HUGS!!
Mikayla Martin me too
The last photo was the best!! Also I have a lot of body image issues myself I totally understand ur reaction in photo #2 but I'm glad u pushed through!!
So glad you did this video. I *am* a supposed "perfect" size at a size 2/4 and I still feel like I look nothing like these girls in these ads and it's frustrating to think that even as a small girl, I can't live up to these standards. I had no idea so much make up and stuff went into these pictures. No wonder we can't live up to it!
I'd actually love to see similar side-by-side photos with a girl who is the same size as the VS models but a real life size 2 girl who doesn't live in the gym or wear body makeup.
I think it would be really body positive to show that it isn't even about what size you are because small girls don't look like VS models either.
Honestly i Go to the gym very often and i just never look like that. Only when i don't eat in the morning and im still muscular and my breast and butt is way bigger..
I want this! A million times this!
Yes I want to see a video like this!!! I'm in the same boat.
It would have been really cool to do this with a few other girls of varying sizes, would have loved to see Skylar included in in a shoot.
It's like they're trying to sell us this impossible fantasy. Even after losing 130lb and spending a fortune on skin removal I still am too self conscious to wear a bikini
ll i have to say is "Thank you" From every single girl who doesnt look like those models. THANK YOU!
Christy Harms you mean from every single girl that cares about their body? It is crazy that they dehydrate themselves!
@@mzim0653 ABSOLUTELY! I couldn't believe it
Maura Zimmerman people actually look like that without dehydrate themselves being skinny is not unhealthy they do that to get a little bit of a flat stomach not to lose weight
Sierra, I am 43 years old, have struggled with body image all my life, and being pregnant has forever changed my body, but I look up to YOU SO VERY MUCH for your strength and attitude and wish I had such a role model when I was younger. I will definitely be sharing these videos with my daughter when she hits her teens, and I truly hope she takes your messages of body positivity to heart. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there like this and sharing your message. 🤩♥️
When I had my baby I gained 40 pounds and it’s been a year since then and I hated my body, I’ve even cried in the mirror. But everything changed once I started watching your videos and you’ve made me embrace my body. I love you and keep changing people minds of how they see them self. Everyone’s beautiful!❤️
Dude, first of all! Congrats on your baby, I hope they're doing well. Secondly. Gaining weight from pregnancy is normal. Remember how straining pregnancy is on your body. Having a child is badass. HOWEVER. I hope that you can continue to learn to feel better about your body because you're still beautiful and you deserve to love yourself again!!❤
And props to Skylar and Kyle for making those AMAZING wings
No lie, this made me cry, such a beautiful message! My son heard your voice and got the biggest smile when he saw you talking, your energy lights up the room Sierra, keep being your beautiful self!
Video idea: What $100 gets you at a thrift store vs a normal store?❤️❤️
yes! (but not ThredUp haha - an actual brick and mortar store) haha
Oh yepp,a REAL thrift store😂😂
For the normal store you should do old navy! It’s medium priced with a lot of basics that are worth spending more on
I agree, but just saying LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the profile picture
Yesss
As a 50 year old mom of boys in their early 20’s. Thank you. You reach such a variety of audiences. You are an amazing role model. These body image issues are so far reaching for what we are brainwashed into believing is perfect. Women, men and all identities in between, all ages as well. You’re adorable but the beauty you radiate from with in makes my mom heart so happy. Keep doing the awesome things you’ve doing and being so real
When you broke down on the second shoot I was crying. Thank you for sharing this important message!
She doesn’t even know how sexy she is. She is really beautiful and my role model
I honestly feel like you’d totally vibe with Aerie and their campaigns that show real unedited girls!
How you felt during the shoot, is how I feel every day. Thanks for showing me that I am not alone, and thanks for not quitting !! You rock Sierra !!!
I truly support this video, as an anorexia recoverer I love the point your trying to get across.
Just please, please dont forget that these models are humans to. The people telling them to diet or editing the pictures to be unrealistic are in the wrong. Not the girls behind the photoshop, behind the picture.
Fleur Palmen that is so true sierra does a great job regarding plus size people but not really the other half of things
Agreed
Fleur Palmen she did say she feels badly for them for what they have to experience and how much they suffer, I think she totally gets that they’re being put in a horrible situation
Aryana Pariaug she tells everyone to love their body, how is that not inclusive of all sizes? She’s never once put a thin person down for being thin. Just because she’s curvy and can better relate to a curvy person, doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about the rest.
schasse2011 I agree with you, yet it is more often taken that skinny girl must have it ‘easier’ which I think is rather delusional. (coming from a curvier girl)
Legit, in tears! Thank you so much for doing this shoot! I'm THAT girl you did this for! Thank you so much!
Beautiful sweet angel! You may not be Victoria’s, but you’re ours 💜🦄
Jamie Ashton on the contrary, she’s my angel too 💕
Awww same ☺️😘
🤩🤩
I never cry from bopo stuff. Like never. But watching her take the second photo and seeing the result and genuinely thinking "wow, she looks so beautiful" almost brought me to tears. She's so real and beautiful and she actually looks like me but she's still freaking beautiful. Ahhh I'm all in my feelings
I literally felt exactly how you were feeling in that second photo SO MANY TIMES. You look so beautiful. Not “plus size beautiful”, but BEAUTIFUL for any woman.
I love the photographer and skyler talking you through the hard times
I was waiting for a video on Victoria secret. One day they will get into their head that every body is beautiful!
As long as you are not on the extreme ends. One extreme side is anorexia and the other is obesity. I know some will say bodies of anorexia can look different. I am talking about the kind where you are just bones.Every body is beautiful. Keep yourself healthy. Lose or gain weight to be more healthy, not more beautiful.
It's their choice if they want their models to have one body type. That's fine. Not all retailers want plus sized or bigger sizes to model their clothes, and that's okay.
@@echo7374 oh my god someone finally said it, thank you!!!
They do know. They just want skinny. Get over it.
I believe that all body types are beautiful but I also believe that different companies are allowed to be targeted towards a certain body type. A thin model would never be hired for a plus size company like Torrid (etc) and we think that is ok so I think it is ok for Victoria’s secret to be targeted towards thinner women. There are brands for every body type, so it is ok if not all of them are targeted towards all body shapes. I wish people would realize that body positivity isn’t only for larger people. A lot of thinner people are insecure because they aren’t curvy or “thicc” enough, and brands like Victoria’s secret that only have thinner models can empower them too, just like a plus size brand empowers bigger women (which also is wonderful).
This helped me today. I have struggled with eating disorders for about 3,5 years, with some days better than others. Today was a bad day but when I saw this video some of those bad thoughts of mine faded away, making them resistible. So thank you!
Josefine Hje stay strong 💪 I have a history with eating disorders as well... love yourself ❤️ you are enough!
So cute that Skyler made the wings 😍🤗
Claire Chouette and Kyle ☺️
Gabrielly Passos hell yes! 👍👍
I bet Steven is LOVING these photos! I love these photos. You’re doing amazing things Sierra 💕
When Sierra said “ for every girl that walked into a Victoria Secret dressing room to get their first bra with their mom” this hit me so hard because I was that girl when I was little also! Thank you Sierra! Your are helping me and so many others in so many ways with your videos!
Sierra - this is so incredible. i am so incredibly proud of the body positive journey that you are on. i look forward to being on that path myself. by making these videos, as you already know, you aren’t just improving your own self esteem, but everyone else struggling with their own self image. thank you and keep owning it!
Excuse me while I just cry my eyes out when Sierra starts tearing up! Also. I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to see this video and these absolutely amazing photos! These are complete masterpieces!
Ok these are all fire but that last photo is FIIIIIIIIRE! You look so happy and confident. So you!
I work at Soma Intimates, we are a body positive “lingerie” store, just like Victoria’s Secret but so much better! Soma is all inclusive no matter what size you are and it shows in all of our ads no matter where you look. We have real sizes and we measure the way you should be measured. The way Victoria’s Secret measures women for bras in wrong and inaccurate, so if you’re ever looking for a good, cute, and reliable bra that you’ll love, try out Soma Intimates!!
I used to work there and loved it! Everything is true to size and they are so body positive. We were located across the street from VS and they would send women over to us all the time
genuinely curious as to what is wrong about the way VS sizes? i was always sized there when i was younger
@@avocadoll7285 from my experience because they dont offer a large range of sizes they will purposely tell women a "sister size" that is significantly off just to make a sale. Like trying to sell a woman who is a 40D a 36DDD
avocadoll Victoria Secret sizing is wildin, it’s like they just play banagrams with letters and numbers and tell you that’s your size. They’ve given both me and my sister sizes that are way too box at the band and small in the cups, and I’ve seen the opposite happen to friends, too!! It makes no sense, because all they need to do is measure!
this video deserves to be seen by so many more people
Oh Sierra. You’re showing young girls real life. I wish I had someone like you to look up to when I was younger.
Im honestly so glad i came across your channel a few months ago. I love your confidence and attitude. Your videos make me feel way more confident and to not care what people think. You are and inspiration to many people i love watching you ❤️😭
The models would look beautiful without photoshop and dehydrating. And you look beautiful too!! Go Sierra!!!
jvce I know, I feel like I’ve seen Candice on a regular day and she’s stunning but that photo of her... yikes she looks like a stick figure, I’d much rather she went natural
schasse2011 wyd do u mean “ natural “ that her body skinny people exist 😱 so if we’re sticks then y’all are whales
Keren Oparaugo she is naturally thin and doesn’t need to starve herself or not drink water or be photoshopped to oblivion, that’s my point. No one is a whale, don’t twist my words. I’m just saying that Candace the model in that photo does not look healthy the way they’ve photographed her.
you killed this!! :) i love it, the photos and the message you're spreading 🧡
When you started to cry I started to cry. You’re literally standing there looking so amazing but because we always compare ourselves to unrealistic standards it’s so hard to see 😭
My favourite is the 3rd because you look happy and confident and you feel good about it because that’s all that matters
Yeah
When she got upset I felt that, that was everything i felt for years until I started feeling more confident and feeling okay with who I am
You’re beautiful. I’m a new subscriber, and you have so inspired me. I have struggled with weight my entire life, and all of your body positive videos and just positive vibes in general have really uplifted my spirits and I definitely look forward to watching more of your content. Thank you so much for all of your and your team’s hard work & for being a voice for all of us rejects 💕
I love that you bought the items used! We don’t wanna support Victoria secret with our dollars!
artsytype there’s still gonna make lots of money u not buying things for them does not make a difference
Here for this comment!
they're the only brand that fits me🥺
@@rileyhehe883 check out adore me!! It's been popping up in malls that have Victoria's secret but also it's online! I have a really difficult bra size (34G, or 34DDDD) and they carry it in store! They can also size you because I've found with Victoria's secret that if they don't actually carry your size they will size you as your sister size. Like I was told I was a 36DD, and the band was too loose and the cups a little too small but it's all I had so I thought it was fine. Worth a try!! ❤️
Of course you don't want to support them, fatties getting all mad because VS doesn't want whales walking down the runway.
This should go viral, be trending and get a million views!! Thank you Sierra!
The third picture with the wings 😍😭😭😭 girl you look SOOO CUTE
Sierra talks about the models diet and workout regime
Me: Sits here eating a muffin
You eat that muffin!!😁
.... Unpopular opinion Victoria secret bras feel like they should cost $5 IMHO
So trueeee.
Yas
I have to get my bras from Victoria secret because of my size🤷🏻♀️
Agreed. I get better ones at target.
the fact that they only go to 40DDD is crazy, doesn’t even fit! they don’t even sell XL swimwear.
I’m so happy this video exists...I wish it had when I was in High School/Middle School. Thank you for putting yourself out there for this and getting out of your comfort zone. You’re gorgeous!
Aww Sierra I thought you looked hot af in the black!!! ROCK IT GIRL. BE YOU!

Liza’s Life Sierra is
I'm 19 and I've never been in a Victoria secret. I don't ever intend to either. I've never understood the hype around it and ive never approved of the company overall.
Lavinia Retta i heard that their lingeries are so comfy, and even though I have never entered there too (the VS in my country don’t sell lingeries), i gotta admit that their PINK line is kinda cute. I disagree with them though, they’re a bit toxic.
During the second one, I was so inspired because my thighs are like that and I’m so insecure, but it made me want to cry happy tears because it was so inspiring if that makes any sense. I love your videos, Sierra!!
submitted this video to aerie!!! you would be a great model for them
Such a great idea! She deserves it!
That video meant a lot to me! Thank you so much for being the positive, brave and amazing role model you are. I've recently gained a significant amount of weight and finding your channel was an important part of the process of learning how to love myself in my new shape.
It's really hard and quite new, but you are definitely someone that gives me the courage to embrace my new self - on not going on crazy ass diets/starving myself etc
and for that, I can't thank you enough
( and I quite literally cried when you talked about the girl not recognizing herself in Victoria Secret's posters)
YES WE NEEDED THIS VIDEO. Every body is different and can rock anything!
Right!!
skinny is beautiful plus size is beautiful big and small and cis and trans and everything in betweeen is BEAUTIFUL, natural, is beautiful. Love you sierra💜
typical tae I’m skinny and im uglyyy
*i love the messages your videos send out especially to younger people like myself!* thankyou❤️
❤
This is what I like about your channel. A lot of people will try to cater to a plus size audience by denouncing skinny girls as "fake" or even unhealthy. I like your approach to this video. That's why I think anyone can watch your videos, you're not catering to one audience over the other, you truly are just promoting body positivity. A+
And girl, I don't know if the opinion of a skinny girl matters less or not, but you are rockin' that full body lingerie!
YOU LOOK SOOOO CUTE!!! I love your videos and all of your content! ❤️ best wished from a plus size girl from austria
That second photo... I'm crying. I can relate to that. I do relate to that. You are beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, yet you get on yourself just like the rest of us, even though we shouldn't.
You are so real, and that's why you're my favorite.
I just love you so much. Thank you for showing us, your viewers, so much love always. I appreciate you and you work so incredibly much.
I remember being only 10 years old crying in a dressing room bc jeans didn’t fit
omg sammme.
I'm 13 and I do this sometimes 😔❣️
@@amaliarestas398 dont worry me too
girl SAME. and crying because i couldn’t share clothes with/didn’t look like my 00 sized cousin.
ladies, don’t cry over jeans. if sierra has taught us anything, jean sizes LIE.
@@kelsythompson6351 yaaaass
I really appreciate that fact that you stood by your beliefs and didnt give any money to Victoria Secret
Skyler is a true friend, girls help girls adjust their girls! @5:58 👯♀️
I worked at VS over the holidays and it made me feel so bad about myself as a plus sized woman. I felt like a little girl who was gross and didn’t belong anywhere, I definitely don’t ever want to work there again. They claim to be about body positivity and women empowerment in store but they aren’t.
I worked there at my biggest, 38-40DD, and was told to buy my own special size while others got free product. Every launch I was left out or had to buy my special size, until I lost around 60lbs. Around that time I quit. The very last time I visited I was too small for their store, somewhere just below a 22D and still had to order online, still no in-store try-ons. Even when I was 'skinny' the '#1 lingerie store" couldn't help a screwed up body like mine. It took me a long time to get past that. And I still feel icky walking by a display or seeing their name on clothing. VS was a terrible job for a teen suffering bulimia and anorexia.
@@mowganashwey where do you buy your bras? If you don't mind my asking. My sister would be interested in a new source for bras. Thanks in advance
@@katwolf897 I have been really happy with my Fenty bras and bralettes so far, besides that I often go to Kohls for my simple stuff
I started working there almost 2 months. My boss is plus sized even another coworker is. I know we do have a transmodel and plus size model. I will say as someone not anywhere near these models their statement did offend me however I have seen them make improvements
@@mowganashwey alright I'll look into that, thanks
I remember having a bad experience at Victoria Secret that goes hand and hand with this whole experiment. Probably 2 years ago I walked into a Victoria secret and wanted a specific bra and it wasn’t made in my size and the worker was so incredibly rude and disgusted and bothered by me that I left crying before I even got out of the mall.. so proud of your for doing this shoot for all the girls like us who struggle with things like this. I totally forgot about that experience until I saw your video and made me so appreciative that there’s girls going against what companies like this are doing 😘
Sierra’s commentary for the second photo was so real and touching. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard watching a UA-cam video. Just last night, I was looking through photos in my phone of myself next to my beautiful yet petite friends, sobbing. The comparison of their slim skinniness next to my more athletic and full body was disgusting to me. Pictures have always been a aspect of my life which document my body insecurities and can highlight just how different my body is. The same goes for walking into a Victoria Secret store and seeing the effortlessly perfect pictures of models on the wall, and feeling like I’m inadequate in the dressing room. I’ve always felt alone in these deeply hurtful situations compared to my petite girl friends, my petite mom, or any of my other petite loved ones. Thank you so much Sierra for being so raw and vulnerable with us in this shoot, especially with the second picture. I’ve never felt so understood before according to my body insecurities and comparisons, and it is so comforting to not feel alone.
