Make no mistake, lots of fashion brands are still size shaming women like me

telegraph.co.uk:

@InsideJigsaw I was told by staff yesterday in one of your stores that they are discouraged from having clothes larger than a size 12 on the rails and that if people want to try larger sizes than that the staff have to go downstairs and fetch them - why is this?!Jigsaw was quick to respond, with a spokesperson stating that “due to the size of our range, we don’t always display all sizes in all styles on the shop floor.

That is not to say we only put smaller sizes on the shop floor, far from it. We may have an 8 and a 10 in one style, and a 6 and a 16 in another style.

This way our customers can see the range of styles that we offer rather than fewer styles in more sizes.”That may be the case, but Kleinman isn’t alone in experiencing this kind of size-shaming.

I see it all over the high street. I find myself wanting to try a beautiful maxi dress, of which there is only a size 8 and 10  on the rail, and end up feeling like an outsider when I have to ask a sales attendant to retrieve my size that’s simply too enormous to warrant display.
