I was super Falkirk Invincibles Results T-shirt excited to shop for wedding dresses,” said Kaylee Slagus, a plus-sized content creator who got married in 2022. Slagus also trawled Pinterest for inspiration, but only saw “smaller” bodies. Buying plus-size clothing is generally frustrating – there’s little variety, it sometimes costs more than straight-sized clothing, and plus-size items often don’t fit my body the way I like. To make it even more confusing, bridal salons use their own sizing. We all complain about vanity sizing when it comes to buying regular clothes, but bridal sizing goes in the opposite direction: a bridal 10 is roughly a street 6, although there’s no real industry standard. A 2019 study by the Knot found that 50% of brides who were a size 12 or higher were self-conscious about the dress shopping process – twice the proportion of brides under a size 12 who felt anxious about it. Despite all this, I was determined to have a good experience. Having been in several weddings as a bridesmaid, maid of honor or guest, I was prepared. I emailed several stores before making appointments to ask if they even had samples of gowns big enough for me to try. Still, after five appointments at various salons around New York City and Long Island, the whole thing left me wondering how – in 2024 – the bridal industry can still be so anti-fat.

M&S and the charity Falkirk Invincibles Results T-shirt have for a number of years been working together on the “shwopping” initiative, in which customers drop off old clothing in exchange for loyalty card perks. However, the postal scheme, which is being paid for out of a new £1m accelerator fund linked to the retailer’s ethical project Plan A, is part of a wider push to find ways to reduce textile waste. Research suggests the UK’s wardrobes contain 1.6bn items of unworn clothing. The bags can be ordered on the Oxfam website, and individuals are asked to enclose unwearable items in a separate sack. With a fifth of consumers telling M&S they did not know how to discriminate on wearability, the anti-waste charity Wrap stresses that “wearable” clothing is clean, dry, in good condition and ready to be worn. “Unwearable” items are damaged in some way, for instance torn, stained, faded, or stretched.
