Buying plus-sized clothes is a tricky business. Most options are only available online, so it's a feat in and of itself to get the right size for your body shape. And while the models always make the clothes look great, BuzzFeed editors Sheridan Watson and Kristin Chirico made a big discovery: Many brands have smaller models use padding to fill out the plus-size clothes, making it all an illusion and a look that "might be more perfect than those plus-size bodies actually found in nature."
So the two decided to shatter the deceptive mirror and spent a day trying on items from different brands (including Forever 21, Torrid, Asos, and Fashion to Figure) to show how they look on the model versus how they appear in real life.
Now keep in mind that the ladies are two different heights and sizes—Kristin is 5-foot-3 while Sheridan is 5-foot-11—and they grabbed whatever sizes were recommended to them based on each brands' sizing chart. So really, they got as close as any other shopper would when buying online. And this, my friends, is what followed:

Obviously a difference between plus size in shape and plus size not in shape. Maybe need a new size, call it lump size.
I think plus sized women are beautiful!
Why get fat in the first place? If you want to inflate a perfectly shapely body, just shop at the tent company for clothes! You've already blown your looks!
Plus size women shouldn't be wearing spandex in the first place. Or any tight clothing for that matter. If they only knew how terrible they look with rolls of fat showing through their clothing. They obviously don't care how they look today. No class. No discipline. And that goes for "husky" men also.
