For her part, the user Blissy also showed her dissatisfaction about the lack of diversity in sizes of the Bershka brand, and showed an example of a blouse that indicated being extra large on the label, but that barely fit a slim body like hers. .

In social networks, they also commented that the lack of inclusiveness in sizes is a characteristic of many other fast fashion clothing stores, such as ZARA or Pull&Bear.

Have you ever had trouble getting clothes in your size at stores like this? How did it make you feel? Remember that your body is not bad, it is bad to think that all bodies should be the same size.
