Hey Fena! Thanks for talking about this topic. As you say we plus size girls got it difficult sometimes with clothing, but it was way worse back in the day! When I was a teen 20 years ago go shopping was so awful to me here in Spain, and I wasn't even that big, just big boobed and a bit overweight. I'm happy things are improving now
I was a fat teen 20 years ago in the US and it was awful here too. All jeans had embroidery on them for some reason. I hated shopping and pretended I was really into shoes so if my friends went shopping I’d have stuff to try on
Love this Fena, I’m passionate about this too as a plus size person. I some times feel that designers think plus size people should just stay home and feel sorry for themselves! Everyone deserves to feel great about themselves! ❤️❤️❤️
This is so real! Legit i panic any time i need to buy something last minute and I only really have a mall to work with because there will MAYBE be like 5 options total in my size and they can be so frumpy
This is exactly why I love the Curvy Brides Boutique show. I don't care for weddings and I don't need to see people shopping for bridal gowns. But that show is different. Most brides come with request for a dress that is basically a big sack, covering as much of them as possible. And then Alison and Jo put them in these gorgeous, appropriately sized, amazingly fitting dresses and you can actually see the realization on the brides-to-be face as it dawns on them that just because they are plus size, doesn't mean they are not beautiful or feminine. I cry like a mad woman every time. It's wonderful! Thank you for representing the curvy girls and showing that beauty and elegance isn't out of our reach! I love you!!!!!!!
I cannot believe that this is still an issue in 2022. It’s utter stupidity on the brands’ part to not be inclusive in their sizing, or just provide unstylish unshapely clothes in larger sizes. Dehumanizing.I hope they look to queens like Lizzo who was absolutely stunning at the Emmys, to see how beautiful bigger people look when wearing something that is not a shower curtain from Lane Bryant. Does that store still exist? Love you Fena, I think my comment is longer than your video. Would love longer vids from you. ❤
F@$king amazing!!!! Love it!!!! I hope that some one dared to answer your call you action!! I think I will take a page from your book and "dance in my sweatpants" this week!!! Keep motivating!!!❤
Fena, this is such a good video. Have you ever listened to the podcast Maintenance Phase? It's about debunking diet culture and replacing it with fat positivity. Also, you're eyes are on point! You look so gorgeous. Mwah!
This is so sad. My mom is a woman who is also full figured and beautiful, and she always has trouble finding clothes. ☹️ My dream is to open a plus sized clothing store 🙏🏽❤️ my mom shops at Burlington and she loves it. Love you Fena 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️ Always so excited to see your content 🤩
I’m a woman’s size 8-12 (clothes gaslight the sh😳t outta me with the sizes. I buy things on Amazon in size large for tops and it comes like a size xxxs 👎 thanks for the tips!! ❤
The worst is when a brand will make a BFD out of launching a plus size line when you've desperately been wanting to wear their clothes, but then it launches only to be the same tired black pencil skirt, blousy shirt, and basic black pants you can pick up anywhere. OR, they've *kind of* left the stuff similar, but changed key elements of the design that take it from cool to drool. JUST MAKE THE STUFF IN PLUS SIZES! GOD! Thank you for the recs. I also like ASOS plus sizes. They're good for fun, trendy pieces.
Love you Fena! Want these episodes to be longer 🥰

It’s definitely better now but so much room for improvement
The RUclips search is a GREAT idea!!!

Sadly Lane Bryant still exists and their clothes are hit or miss unfortunately
It’s surprising that with all the fast fashion we don’t have fat fashion

Fena was speaking truths, facts, and gospels. It is the best era to shop plus size fashions- the late 90s, early 2000's was a nightmare!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💝
Fena my love could you please talk about shapewear? Shopping for those is overwhelming for me 😩
Ohhhh yes I will!
i love listening to u talk, you have a lovely voice Fena!
🥰🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻
I like Duluth Trading for men's basics. The ballroom jeans are nice and they have very inclusive sizing.
Mmm good to know
You are beautiful and amazing. We ❤ you Fena.
Love youuuu
@@thefenabarbitall I want you to know I really admire you.

Oh I’m gonna look that up thank you
Excellent topic! More, please.
Thank you❤
Preach.
🤯🤯🤯❤❤🎉🎉
Yes!! Couldn't agree more with all this.
This is so sad. My mom is a woman who is also full figured and beautiful, and she always has trouble finding clothes. ☹️ My dream is to open a plus sized clothing store 🙏🏽❤️ my mom shops at Burlington and she loves it.
Love you Fena 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️ Always so excited to see your content 🤩

Ok when you were like I'm not moping around in sweatpants, I was like wtf...can she SEE me?
Lol yes

asos has great options for plus size people since they carry loads of different brands! :)
Yea definitely! Just hard to get and overpriced for fast fashion

We need fits for fats! 💖
Yesss
I wish I could say I never let myself down when it came to settling in my bigger body. I’m just oddly shaped, so I find it exceptionally hard,
I totally get it! It’s hard!
I would dance in sweatpants with you any day! ❤️🔥
Yeeeee
