These Women Compared XL And XS Sizes Of The Same Outfits

Women come in all shapes and sizes, which is never more evident than when we're shopping for clothes. From XS to XL, there are an abundance of sizes and cuts to choose from.

Recently, a stylist from Russia, Marina Kamenskaya, together with some of her friends, decided to conduct a little experiment. The ladies wanted to find out how different companies make the same clothes for women of all different sizes.

Marina is a size XL, and the other ladies involved in the project are a size XS. They tried on a wide variety of outfits, from dresses to shirts, and were interested to find that there were quite a few differences between the sizes.

The ladies took photos to document their experiment and posted them online. They asked others to share their thoughts and comment on which versions of the outfits they preferred.

Marina's fashion journey began when she was 11. "It's also when I learned how to dress," she says. "Later, I began talking to my friends about it, and we would pick our clothes together."

Marina wound up working in an office because she was afraid of the uncertainty a career as a stylist could bring. But eventually, she decided to follow her dream and has finally found her calling.

"To do these things, I go shopping with them and help them buy what they like and what suits them. This year, more and more women began contacting me from all over the world, so I began helping them to make the same decisions online, too."

"Clients appreciate the company for its interesting styles and latest seasonal trends. Plus, you can dress from head to toe in this store's clothing and show the client a ready-to-wear look," Marina added.

"And rather than judging sizes, I choose clothing for clients based on internal and external factors. I would really like for plus-sized women to leave behind their complexes about their size and enjoy life every day, and to treat themselves to beautiful clothes."

"We've had an interesting game of contrasts!" Marina wrote. "We are all different, but everyone wants to dress [up the way they like] and look beautiful," she continued.

"Let's discuss clothing and how it fits. I don't care about nasty things...so let's be tolerant!"

Marina chose to make many of her comparisons in ZARA. She says this is because many of her clients, who wear non-standard sizes, have told her they steer clear of chains like ZARA because they feel they won't find anything in their size.

"There's also the prevailing idea that clothing only looks good on slim women. As a size XL woman myself, thanks to this title, I'd like to show that style is not dependent on size," Marina said.

"Also, while some pieces suit larger sizes the best, others look equally good in the smallest and largest sizes. I really like that ZARA has expanded its range, with many pieces available up to XXL."
