[@renesteinhauser2742]

Rachel could totally pose with her bump and say "special delivery" in that postal costume. Adorable.

[@lunastar2070]

That's soooooo cute 🥺

[@timmer13]

So cute!!

[@molly__bakes]

OMG SHUT UP, I LOVE THAT!! 😭🥺

[@RachelMaryB]

And now so could Sierra!

[@nicky740]

And now Sierra!

[@ChloeTheJean]

Suggestion for future multisize tryons: if the costumes are too small for everyone, have the smallest person try on the medium or large, and have the medium person try on the largest size to see how they feel when they size up

[@brittzkrieg]

For the Cowboys costume, I wish Rachel would've had Paloma try on her L/XL and Sierra have Rachel try her plus size to confirm if sizing up helps or not!

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

This was what I was thinking of on the green one too 😊

[@brittzkrieg]

@@UnboundedArtandCrafts 💯!

[@mandymckk]

Yeah I was thinking it would have been good for them to buy multiple sizes because you can never tell how something online will fit, even when looking at the size chart

[@ashleytrebell4863]

I agree, it would be nice see them try the larger size and see how they compare

[@alyssafarrier3881]

The solo - intro part's framing looks so good! Also, I love the videos trying things on with different body types. My favorite !

[@Frogcharming]

I love how this is a little old-school sierra throwback but with the new girlies is so fun!!

[@JenKnee423]

I would have loved to see Paloma try on Rachel’s size to see if they fit better on her, and possibly Rachel trying on Sierra’s. I think that would have been a great addition to the video. Perhaps you can film a short doing that.

[@gracie2100]

Yes!! Paloma in a larger bunny size would've been nice to see and to see if her rating changed !!

[@beeb6730]

Yes!

[@taylorphilipsen421]

This has been my favorite video since the channel has changed! Felt like an old Sierra-esque fashion video with the twist of the new girls. I really hope to see more videos like this!

[@kelb7350]

Same.

[@katecollins2471]

Agree

[@michellestephens654]

I agree! I'm not a huge fan of the new style of videos but I'm happy she's thriving in her content.

[@cc1526]

Same. I like the fashion more than the “lifestyle” or “we try…” videos. It’s giving the old collab with lisbug videos which I always found very helpful as a midsize girlie.

[@anngarcia2649]

Yes!!! Not really feeling the new wave and you can see others aren’t either given the low views and honestly this is the Sierra show not all her friends even though they’re lovely

[@cptnmrgn15]

I look forward to hearing Sierra say "coshtume" every year.

[@Macbethinspace]

cawshtewm 🫶

[@SierraSchultzzie]

tis the season

[@irishgirl3407]

She doesn't say the t. "Cosh-ume". Adorable!@@Macbethinspace

[@keyonnahall6217]

😂

[@caitlyncampbell4214]

Mia Maples does the same thing lol I wait for it every year

[@thebarefoothobbit]

I look like Palomas body type and i would have bought them all in a large/xl. No way with a chest like hers would any of the smalls fit haha. Not that this is a bad thing! It's just that even if you are a size 6 in pants and someone else is a 10, that doesn't mean the top half will also fit into that same measurement!

[@michelled8659]

Yes! I was looking for this comment. In the most respectful way anyone with a larger chest especially to the rest of their body usually (?) sizes up…not down!

[@thebarefoothobbit]

@michelled8659 yep. I have a huge chest and NO HIPS so I am a smaller size in the bottom half and large up top. I buy dresses that are much bigger and then just cinch them on the waist with a belt to work for the proportions

[@shaneternity4469]

Yes! I feel like she’s not wearing the right sizes

[@kaiaelizabeth1066]

I thought the same thing! There's no way Paloma was fitting in a small/med with her chest size

[@Mik_Rose]

I wish she’d tried the larger size in the bunny costume to see if this would fix her issue! It would have looked awesome on her

[@jenicat55]

Sierra could totally wear the postal outfit and make Grace a Parcel outfit out of a box 😂

[@lunastar2070]

Oh my gosh that would be the cutest!!!!

[@ryanhaefs5421]

And Steven as a mailbox

[@jenniferwiersma2386]

Um I love this idea! So cute!! Sierra plz do this as a video idea I’d love it. Any videos you do I love!

[@kayemma443]

Why do clothing designers always assume smaller size = smaller chest and larger size = larger chest? That’s not always the case!!

[@emmadorothy3520]

This!!! man that is not how boobs work 😤😤😤

[@teet5605]

I feel like if Paloma had gotten the same size as Rachel and everything would have fit better.

[@rosebraun8341]

in regards to the constructive criticism in the comments lately, i think this is the type of content everyone was expecting from y’all! i love this style of video and hope y’all continue having fun together :)

[@Samanthacandace]

i think this video needs a part 2 / follow up of Rachel trying Sierras outfits & Paloma trying on Rachel’s, to see if “sizing up” actually helps

[@beeb6730]

I always want this, please show how sizing up fits

[@bleepbloopskrrr]

That’s exactly what I said! They need to try on their “true” size then pass them down and try the next person up’s

[@nena321jw]

D hi V😅o

[@ginahatim3088]

palomas outfits fit her though? Just the breast size didn't fit

[@KatQuackLaugh11]

Reminds me of old school videos but with the new girlies so fun 🤩

[@mel199]

The mail carrier costume was really cute! I'm appalled at how much money they ask for such bad quality costumes,. Especially since they are often only worn once. Fully agree that you can probably get a better quality and priced costume if you DIY it.

[@jodim5185]

I feel like the confidence collective really adds to this type of video

[@Sing4me22]

“It’s giving………. United States” 😂😂😂😂 I literally laughed so hard. Love you ladies! Thank you for creating content like this. It’s so so so inclusive 🎃🖤

[@cassycardenas2367]

i would love to see if Paloma tried on Rachel’s Dallas cowboy outfit if it fight better ??

[@alyssafarrier3881]

Also sierra, in the kindest, most polite way, from one plus-size girl to another, YOU LOOK SO HOT. I love seeing you in these costumes I would never attempt, it makes wanna try something new!

[@janmarchand7294]

I can't believe how expensive these costumes were, especially considering the cheapness of them. The Mail Girl was the best out of all of them. This video was fun and congratulations to Paloma!

[@7BearSarah]

Hear me out but that poison ivy costume gave me an idea: You could go to the fabric store (or thrift store if you’re lucky) and find sequin dresses/fabric in various colors, get some fairy wings and then do your hair and makeup all cute and you and your friends could be woodland fairies. Everyone could make the costumes to their comfort level and it wouldn’t be that hard (you could even use fabric glue if you don’t sew).

[@Larissa_KD]

Omg I can't, Pamola asking what the back of the bunny costume looks like and everyone turning over the package 😂😂😂

[@JaneRLeBlanc]

When Paloma mentioned the itchiness, I felt that in every nerve ending.

[@Flareontoast]

Only halfway in, but I just wanted to say, Rachel looked glorious in that poison ivy dress!

[@sanne2299]

The intro frame is already looking so much more in proportion!

[@kittvanderwater7130]

I could watch 100 more costumes! So fun.

[@gerdanagrodskyte4591]

Good job girls! Finally the lighting is bright, the view is closer and the chit chat time on the couch is shorter. Video flows so much better! And it was fun to watch!

[@kasi0034]

I don't have Instagram, so maybe a I missed something, but I love Rachel just casually dropping that she is pregnant. Congrats!!!

[@LittleMissTotoro]

I love comparing clothes in different sizes! It is so good for my brain to see my size represented. And also how fit really is hit or miss at all sizes ❤ Very randomly 😂

[@alessiac795]

i LOVE the ribbons in palomas hair sm

[@giseleglaittli6178]

Love the videos in the new studio!!! I’m LOVING the throwback style videos with the girlies!! Seriously the best thing ever!

[@colecerys123]

I’ve missed these videos and I really love seeing them on different size types! The postal service costumes are adorable!!

[@kaileythrower8543]

Love the message in this video and how it shows that your body is not the problem, the clothes are! Three different body types and no one was immune from fit issues. Also loving the laughs and comments when the fit of the piece wasn't right, such a good video!

[@paigetiffany5817]

I love this video because it’s a real review of a company that’s so fake with their photoshop! We need more fashion nova honest reviews ❤

[@hilaryolson7330]

I love these types of videos- trying on the same outfits with different sizes and body types! Especially if you don't try something on in store and buy online, it's so hard to see how it'll actually fit you vs in the advertised picture and also guess the quality.

[@stacyssassystyles]

So excited for this!! I Missed the clothes/size comparisons!

[@JulieNick28]

I ❤ these group try ons to show things in different sizes. I’ve urged my sister to do this with me for years!! I’m 5’9” and a 8/10 and my sister is 5’4’ and a 4/6. I think it would be fun to show outfits on both of us. Sierra is looking majorly fit these days!

[@alexapatricia]

The postal one is so cute like you could fill the bag with little treats and give them out at the bar lol

[@mayapapayaadventures]

I always love your halloween costumes reviews!!!!

[@AshleyNewell16]

This video makes me want to be the postal honey! It was sooooo cute on everyone!

[@abrielle13]

I've seen a cute FedEx one too!

[@joielynette]

Hands down the mail girl costume is the best. Y'all looked so cute.

[@allieb7705]

This is so much better of a video concept! Will keep watching for sure

[@nailartcrafts6320]

Yes I would have loved to see them actually size up since they were right there.

[@Jojo13Lorin]

The shot composition and lighting in the intro looks a lot better! :) Best of luck continuing to grow ❤

[@Sammi.Lynn.93]

I freaking love your videos and how you have pretty much every size and a person to actually try them out!

[@mgin384]

Mail girl for sure was so cute! Love how much fun you ladies were having. And it was so nice to see an oldschool tryon video!

[@isabelladiaz3117]

i missed the brutally honest fashion review content, love to see it!!!

[@laurena7443]

Love the mail carrier outfit! Looks comfy too. I feel like Rachel could even size down it in as well but she has room to grow !!

[@lentevanzyl9643]

This was my favorite vid since the channel revamp 😊 keep it up love what you’re doing!!

[@christythomas2871]

Loved this video! I remember years ago when you would do Halloween costume reviews each fall, and I LOVED them! They were always so funny! ❤

[@amandarobbins2530]

Rachel looked so good in the poison ivy dress Honestly I have a body shape similar to paloma and it’s just really hard to find clothes that fit nicely Everything’s always too tight in the chest and arms, too baggy in the hips and legs .. it’s a struggle even if stuff is the ‘right size’

[@skylarsa]

I really loved the style of this video! Old school Honest reviews with Sierra, but with the added bonus of Paloma and Rachel ❤ (also the new set for the try on portion worked so well!)

[@shelby1105]

You should do a video where you each pick some thing that’s a necessity in your life for another person to do that doesn’t normally do that. For example if one of you get your lashes done every couple weeks, one of you should try that.

[@irenestrongrock4106]

I LOVE this format!!!! There is so much life in your videos these days, and it’s giving ME life! ❤

[@kellyd8277]

The functionality of the USPS bag would be GREAT as a purse for a party!

[@lunacherry4171]

I think using video ideas that follow a well know formula (like trying stuff) is a great way for us to get to know the rest of the team better, it really let's everyones personality shine through

[@katecollins2471]

Okay that postal outfit on sierra is a slay!! You look so curvaceous and your tan is popping

[@RachelRambles]

Let’s gooo Halloween!! 👻

[@GiannaPGP]

I LOVE the inclusive sizes in this video! Sierra, you looked great in the first two I’ve seen! I had to pause the video because I had to comment how great you ALL look, yet totally understand the scratchiness of the sequins. Halloween costumes are notorious for not being plus size friendly. Thank you for changing my outlook!

[@saradjaroud971]

Rachel looked so cute in all of the costumes! She's glowing

[@georgiakateryan]

okay but the postal worker costume? biggest slay of the year for costumes, im literally so obsessed!!!!!

[@cherylw445]

Fun vid. Also confirms (for me anyway) that a store bought costume is not the way to go. Its never easier or cost effective in the long run. Home made will always be my 1st (only choice).

[@H3ARTBR3AK3RXOXO]

3:54 I honestly like the concept of the shorts having more coverage in the front then the back I just feel like it was executed wrong but the idea of being able to have booty shorts and not worrying about having some thing I don't want seen I love it

[@CallmeLauren1]

Best collective video so far! 🙌🏻

[@kennapaigemusic]

I would love to see you DIY some of these costumes and make them better!

[@MindyGail]

All you girls look beautiful, but I feel like the first one looks the best on Sierra. I think they definitely changed the proportions for the plus-sized one, and the fit is better.

[@daniellekirsch5402]

I love this green couch set up! Looks more balanced than before. Also love that couch in general

[@savannahblanch1991]

This was a fun video. You definitely need to the 3 person try on again

[@lotts_of_style9251]

The "postal girl" outfit has me checking their site for other costume/rompers!... We LOVE coverage and saucy costumes!🙌🙌🙌

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Love the change of the framing on camera ❤

[@veronicasandiford0304]

This was so cute and bringing back old KZbin with Halloween costumes ❤

[@ambitiouscabbage]

Love love love the different size comparisons! And all of you are so funny, would love to see more of this kind of video

[@fiddleleaflane]

I never clicked so fast. These videos are an iconic tradition that make spooky szn so much better

[@staceymiller5872]

Omg LOVE this video!!!!!

[@daisydog]

Green tights would probably make the Poison Ivy costume more comfortable to wear.

[@kourtdinger8040]

This is the content I’ve missed from you!👏🏼👏🏼

[@saradjaroud971]

I would've liked to see Paloma wearing Rachel's size just to see what it would look like if we sized up

[@ablair24]

this was great, I liked seeing everyone's ratings and how everyone played off each other durring the try-ons. Good to see all 3 of you trying it on at the exact same time too. My only minor suggestion would have been to include some more info about the brand upfront because I've never heard of them and wasn't sure what to expect or look for during the costume try-ons.

[@carolmvar]

Love the framing of the shots in this video much more than the burlesque video. The new set pops better here while retaining the focus on the speaker💗

[@41takeiteasy23]

Yall are confident, beautiful queens. I love this.

[@IrisNelson]

The mail girl costumes are the cutest on all of you.

[@KristenMarie]

love this style of video!

[@kynelson13]

Paloma's hair is soo cute im obsessed 😍

[@bekkkabby]

The mail carrier costume is such a slay. I wanna be comfy!!! not worrying if all my bits will be falling out

[@JubileeChiu]

Loving the new set!!

[@sewgeekdesigns9113]

I love these types of reviews ❤

[@gustopher99]

this was so much fun! love the "postal honey" outfit lol

[@DanaRose01]

Loved this video!!

[@sheeniesheen]

I’m not surprised at anything in this video. lol. The key is they are inconsistent. I love their lounge wear and sweats. They never disappoint.

[@rosalocalinda]

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks

[@Chocolatedestroyer98]

I really like the mail girl outfits!! I hope you guys wear them lol. We stand for Halloweena!!

[@kayt.b.9569]

You’re amazing and this was so helpful

[@hannahfisher3367]

Favorite was the mail girl! I would totally wear that myself

[@shiningstarsoup]

This was such a fun video to watch - love it!

[@kennapaigemusic]

Ok but why does this actually look so cute on sierra? Girl pink is your color 21:28

[@velvetstonebraker9874]

Halloweena is THRIVING as a mail hunnyyyyy

[@seleana3929]

I love this type of video it helps to see normal people in these costumes. Thanks so much for this. You ladies make my day

[@kaseyk1997]

I love the idea of this video! Please more videos like this one, love the brutally honest reviews

[@Bionicbabyy]

Loved the haul. The postal was my favorite.

[@elisaxsimmons]

Rachel, you look AMAZING in the poison ivy costume. That's was your look for sure 💚✨🌿 everyone looked great in everything, but you really pop off in that dress, especially while pregnant It just really highlights your figure 💚
