Answering your questions to the best of my ability! Part one is... also somewhere on the channel, you can find it, you all are smart beans!

I still like my Manaola dress, which I bought because of your empty.....empty luggage! video (I didn't buy the one you bought, I bought one of the first ones you tried on) .

[@sarajayne8214]

I love your attitude. I think you're awesome.

[@virginialeigh4623]

if you ever make this a longer series pls find a baseball pun for the series name because you legit sounded like a coach speaking to a bunch of scared kids before their first game, and it was oddly comforting

[@jessh.6487]

Please please please. Can I get the brand for that first shirt? I need it in a way I never knew existed. As the only plus size person at my job, I weirdly get a fat leniency when it comes to clothing and I wield that power wildly. I am forever uncomfortable and also a bitch. Thank you so much!!

"I'm only a woman in STEM when I'm pegging my wife" literally made me spit take and cackle 🤣🤣🤣 I assure you, my desk is less appreciative of that joke than I am 🤣

Just when you think you can’t love Kristin anymore, she hits you with a pant sizing PSA starting with “Hey champ”. ❤

[@epiclexi1234]

this is exactly what I was thinking, thank you for saying this😭😂🥰

[@thevibewitch7414]

Also, adding to Kristins wonderful PSA: Nobody will even notice that you sized up! Nobody cares whether you wear a size 16 or 18 or whatever. You know what people DO notice? When your clothes are not fitting correctly, and when you don't look comfortable in it. Just wear the size that fits you, no matter the size on the tag. Cut the tag out if you want to!

[@naxp42]

"I can't stress enough how nothing matters!" is SUCH GOOD fashion advice

What a fun way to secretly be naughty in public and find out who knows what pegging it! Perfect for that already awkward holiday family dinner🤪🤷‍♀️

[@andromedanightshade522]

"Be a big canvas" is the best thing from this video in my opinion. I feel like it not only encapsulates the whole point of fashion being a wearable work of art but also that you have the right to create what you want to wear. I love this video and even if it was just what you think are general opinions you were very thoughtful and well spoken.

[@Phlimbob]

Before even watching this, I am so happy Kristin makes these videos. When I was at my heaviest, I refused to wear anything other than t-shirts and sweats because I didn't like how clothes looked on me. Now that I lost a bit of weight, I've been exploring clothes more and wish I had been confident enough to love myself and dress better when I was heavier.

[@candicemcmath4521]

Literally I cried during Kristin’s PsA about “hey you just had to size up. And it’s hard,” because DAMN IT IS and thank you for naming it ❤❤❤❤

[@annikac.854]

One time I found a nice bralette that actually fit me and held stuff in place, I was so excited to buy it. When I got to the register to pay the person behind the counter said it was for maternity/breastfeeding and took it from me… she wouldn’t sell it to me and I got to embarrassed by the situation so I left :( This is like 10-15years ago, now I’d tell the bitch to take my money.

[@TalkWithJoce]

First off why was she assuming you were not pregnant or breastfeeding Second off why was she policing your clothing choices Yucko

[@chloewilliams1702]

Even 10-15 years ago I’m shocked that she was allowed to do that. I’ve worked in retail before and the thing about ppl coming in is that you never k who they’re actually buying for. W that aside, I’m sorry you had to go through that-that person had absolutely no right 😔

[@brendaleelydon]

That's totally f'd up & I'm wicked sorry you experienced that! After pregnancy, I discovered a LOT of tops designed for pregnant ppl were PERFECT for me, cuz they tend to have more chest room without increasing the band size. Before I found my most recent 'shelf tank tops' (they have wide straps! they have enough chest room! they are soft & thick without being too hot! they're cotton!), I exclusively wore nursing tanks at home, so I had a bit of chest support AND my breasts weren't resting on my chest & causing excessive underboob sweat. (& they allow me to wear my reusable bra liners, which have been ANOTHER game changer for me!) I found many of the 'sleep bras' intended for nursing were very comfy sleep bras even when I was done nursing, haha. Especially the ones that pulled to the side (vs the ones you unclip). F that bish! Who says you were even buying the product for yourself anyway?? Ridiculous!

[@dilgele1623]

What a bi$ch, maybe you are buying for your friend, sister? Was hers business. Lmao these people 🤢. So sorry for you!!!😪

[@amara560]

My favourite bra is a maternity bra and I have never been pregnant. It's the softest and comfiest one I own.

[@PMOrly]

I'm laughing so much at the size up pep talk Mostly because I Absolutely Needed It 🤣😭

[@PokhrajRoy.]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Kristin apart from being a funny and fabulous Gemini, it’s that Plus-Sized People does not equal a tent silhouette free-for-all.

[@uhohspaghettios2391]

I really wish this channel (and plus size KZbin content in general) had been around when I was in middle school and high school. Having been large my whole life, I assumed there was no point in trying to be fashionable or look good when I was younger because society, media, and all the people around me said that fat=ugly and terrible. It wasn't until I hit 17 that I started exploring my own sense of style, and that was only because my cousin gave me some of her old clothes. It took until ny last year in university to really understand that I could wear more than oversized sweaters and XL t-shirts. You're doing some great work for some young person's self esteem right now, Kristin, and both past and present me thank you for it.

[@savvygatton]

For the skirt question: if you're having trouble with a big butt pulling the skirt up more in the back so the length is uneven and/or you have exposure problems, Shiny By Nature has designed a skirt that's longer in the back to accommodate that exact issue. (They also have other clothes specifically designed for the shape of real plus-size bodies.)

[@TalkWithJoce]

Nice! Also some skirts and dresses are a high-low style where front is shorter than back

[@Neli42]

I have one skirt that I always wear backward to solve this.

[@overgrownkudzu]

nice, i think she misinterpreted the question. it's ok to wear a short skirt regardess of size but nobody wants to flash their underwear to the world

[@erinniccoinn1gh]

20:50 'do this [lifts arms] and see if you can feed anybody' is SENDING ME... there were so many devastating punchlines in this and that one had me on the floir 🤣💀

[@LindaC616]

I just saw a video of a recent fight ar a local club. A pretty skinny girl was wearing a crop top with cold shoulder long sleeve combination. After she was smacked around by another person and dragged around the floor by her hair, she stood up, and I realized that her crop top had risen up and she was flashing the entire bar. But they were all involved in part of the barroom brawl, so nobody really noticed I don't think

[@Nwladylaura369]

Her comment about raising your arms and feeding people made me 😂!

[@kmackblack]

Just started watching but I wanted to drop into the comments and say your hair has gotten so long and it’s beautiful and if this is your natural hair texture then please never feel the need to dry or straighten ever again. It’s magnificent!!!

[@marjielalonde3875]

I totally agree, it`s beautiful!

[@rachelf02]

Kitchen's PSA about going up a size in pants really got me- "it just means you need different pants." Gaining weight and getting bigger as I get older and get a healthier relationship with food and eating is so triggering sometimes and Kristin always has the beset advice. (ex.: clothes should fit you, not the other way around) So much love for all the videos!!

[@IhasSheepquake]

If this becomes a series, I'd love a combination of Kristen and Brie giving clothing advice. I'm plus size and recently femme presenting amab non-binary person (specifically I've been abandoning pants for skirts), and I'd love to hear from Brie (if she were willing, totally cool if not) on how she started finding clothes. I'm certainly worried about kind of a similar thing to the having half your butt out but, you know, on the other side.

[@powersquirrel8156]

I have fully embraced leopard print as a neutral and all it has done has made me happier. NOTHING IS REAL, WEAR WHATEVER PRINT YOU WANT.

[@lizzylyles6867]

For the body sweat question (#8), there is a product call Body Glide, I think surfers use it for wet suites and its a miracle for me. Put some on once and it's stays all day. I have been using it for about 2 years and summers have never been easier. Highly recommend. Also i am not sponsored in any way, i just love it. Hope this helps yall who are in the no thigh gap club. Proud member here

[@naxp42]

Yesssss

[@LindaC616]

It was recommended to me, too

[@eliontheinternet3298]

hikers sometimes say it's good too!

[@jenniferd37]

I can't say enough good things about Body Glide. I mostly use it at places like Disneyland, or on reasonably-warm days when the capris I'm wearing allow my thighs to touch.

[@valkyrie33]

It can be awesome - but if you sweat more than it can handle, Snag shorts are marvelous too!

[@The020300knp]

Kristins monologue about sizing up in pants really touched me 😭 I’ve just started realizing I probably need a size 16 instead of 14 and it’s only one size but I feels like a insurmountable mountain to me and like once I hit this point there’s no returning, which of course isn’t true but that’s what it feels like. Very hard to come to terms with. Plus I’m a very short person and I’m struggling to find things in my size that aren super long

[@charliev4156]

The being short and finding things that aren’t super long is such a struggle. Lucky I have a sewing machine now and hemming isn’t super hard if I need to

[@anastaciamenemenils8508]

Same. And honestly…wearing the correct size makes you feel so much better. It doesn’t pinch and ache. You can move. Once I bit the bullet my quality of life improved haha

[@brendaleelydon]

@@charliev4156 Same! But sadly, my major issue isn't even leg (or arm) length in clothes, it's that...erm...I'm not sure how to explain this? But it's like the front half of me needs a size 7 panty, but the back half needs a size 9 or 10, if that makes sense? So having clothes that fit my booty AND my front area is...difficult. I've taken to wearing maxi skirts lately because I can't be bothered, but sometimes I wanna wear pants/shorts & dont wanna have to wear an oversized shirt to cover the weirdness of my clothing in the crotchal region, dang it!!

[@legoqueen2445]

I'm a size 26 in pants which is like the last frontier in most plus size pants, after 26 it gets a lot harder to find pants. I put on 20 kilos over lock down and suddenly all my pants were too tight, so I accepted it was time to size up and it was so nice to not feel squashed into my pants! I've since lost the weight I put on during lock down but still prefer the looser size!

[@mattcottrell3286]

God I love this channel. It’s been a long, difficult day, and I needed this relaxing, queer, gentle content. I love y’all. Thank you for continuing to make such good content ❤️

OMFG "I'm only a women in STEM when I'm pegging my wife!" might be the best kitchen one liner of all time 😂

[@kmbarnett1200]

Going to push back a little on tailored garments. If you research your local dry cleaners, they are often very good tailors at amazing prices and very good results. Mine tailored my wife's suit to a t! and it was 27$! When you started talking about office clothes, it instantly reminded me of the Disney short "Purl" from Sparkstudios. I need that belted hydrangea caftan!

[@lunaking3176]

From a plus girl to another Monistat makes an anti-chafing cream that feels like satin. It's amazing! Then there is a company called Snag tights that make all sorts of plus size stockings and biker shorts for chafing that come in a rainbow of colors and a large size chart.. They are not control top but are light weight and allow airflow so you don't get a swamp booty. ❤️

[@hellobethanne]

came here to second the monistat anti-chafing powder gel. i have horrible boob sweat issues that caused swelled up sweat glands and this stuff not only helps with keeping the tiddies dry, but it also healed up my skin! and it's allergy-friendly for me ( megababe uses coconut oil, which i am highly allergic to!) a win-win!

[@cheekyb71]

I LOVE my Snag Chub Rub shorts!

[@mistyautumnryvlin5791]

[@kitchenandjorn]

It's true

[@Rose-jz6sx]

The numbers are arbitrary. I know it sucks to have to size up but also your body isn't wrong the clothes are wrong for you. I am a UK 18 fairly consistently. Two years ago I needed shorts, I had no shorts and I was going on a sun holiday. I ordered three pairs in two sizes each from a shop that I know I'm an 18 in. I ordered the denim shorts in a 20 as well and the fabric shorts in a 16 just in case. I was a 16 in one pair, an 18 in another pair, and the 20 in the third pair would have had to be at least two sizes bigger to even slightly close on me. So in one shop I was both a 16 and a 24+. In the same body, on the same day, at the same time of day. That is not possible. And it was then that I truly embraced knowing the numbers are meaningless.

[@jo_lovesfood2069]

@@Rose-jz6sx Buying second hand was a numbers game changer for me. I’m not plus size, so buying second hand is easier, but I started to actually look at the clothes instead of the size. Now I have clothes ranging from 36-42 (US 8-16) in my closet.

[@Rose-jz6sx]

@@jo_lovesfood2069 oh yeah with second hand all bets are off. Also depending on how you want stuff to fit you you can change sizes, especially in knitwear. I love a tight cardigan so I go down a few sizes in oversized stuff

[@tiffanyrivera4733]

for sport bras, what has worked for me (an inverted triangle 40DD) I use shefit bras, the EXTREME sport bra. I dont have to worry about boob bounce smacking me in the face or hurting my chest. because I lean more androgynous I wear them all the time and I dont care about shape of my tatas. take or leave this knowledge as you need my plus sized queens 💗

Love the maternity dress idea. I bought a few when I was actually pregnant. I haven't been pregnant since 2017 and kept two of those dresses cuz they're still cute and comfy! Do it (but FYI, they're also typically more expensive than "regular" dresses)!

I still have a couple of maternity tops I keep around for the same reason, from 2005.

When I was having gallbladder problems I couldn't wear anything with a regular height waistband for about a year, maternity leggings were the best thing I bought.

[@amberf6275]

When I was a 16/18 some of the most conservatively professional work tops I had were from the maternity section, because they allowed room for boobs and stomach without gaps or looking inappropriate. (Which was an issue in my field at the time.) Plus a pair of dress slacks with the belly band. Nice stretch without a lot of discomfort, GREAT when I was bloating.

I really appreciate you saying about the "you're not a different person you just need different pants" thing. I've always been pretty smallish but I recently have suffered with quite severe depression and anxiety and have gained a tonne of weight. Changing sizes has felt really scary and daunting and I've tried to avoid it but really you are right! Its just different pants, who cares?

Now, that Ive gotten to the point where I cannot hide my excess fat anymore, I wear whatever I feel looks flattering on me and, I'm getting so much more compliments now. As Kristen said, you just need to put in effort. Anyone that has the nerve to come up and criticize us is rude anyway.

[@andreamarie6501]

Thanks for doing a part 2! 🥰 I've recently started pattern mixing, a little color blocking, and found your advice "you don't know what works until you try it" to be spot on. I've noticed the outfits I like best but am most nervous to wear because they're furthest out of my comfort zone are the ones I end up getting the most compliments on when out and about. I kind eased into pattern mixing by pairing printed pants with graphic tees and that's become a go-to style for me lately.

So many good tips. I’m a huge believer in balance-you touched on this-if I’m wearing a tight print crop top, I go with a more flowy solid skirt. I absolutely follow the good quality granny panties. Bottom line is if you like it and all your bits are covered, wear it!

I keep forgetting Kristin is indigenous. I can't remember if a video was made with you talking about it before, I'm sure it has. If some miracle it hasn't, I would love to hear more! I loved the plus size video though, it made me feel a little better. I gained a lot during Covid-19 lockdown with my binging disorder and have had a hard time accepting and losing the weight. Both have finally started happening. The video helps me feel better with the sizes and clothes I am now in and what I can wear (which is anything). Thank you Kristin for your humor and honesty.💕

[@eshass01]

The pants PSA made me emotional because I went through all those emotions last year. But I'm so much happier with clothes that fit and don't feel uncomfortable!

I would LOVE to see kitchen , Jorn and Brie all attempting to alter or tailor old clothes into something new and exciting or even just to create a better fit. I feel like that would be hilarious. It could even be a competition! A positive about some clothes not fitting correctly (happens on ALL body types!) when I was 20 years old and 450lbs with only 3 babies (5 now😅) and COMPLETELY broke I learned how to tailor myself in order to make the goodwill clothes fit 🤣 I already had experience sewing for growing up poor in the south, you either had to repair it yourself or wear it holey and I’m not talking fashion rips.! I’m talk thigh rub eating through your jeans or splitting your pants from only having one pair. I’m thankful for the knowledge I have now and definitely thing it’s valuable for everyone on a budget to learn this skill. Now I can completely overhaul any clothes for my entire family and have it look professional.

[@meaganblack1529]

Tailors have been shortening my pants for me since puberty. Hemming jeans isn't a tough challenge, like shrinking a sundress, but most tailors I've been to can do it well enough and having a professional to do that for me is more than worth the price to me, for improving the utility, the lifespan and the look of my pants.

[@blaireshoe8738]

Kitchen's humor made for a fantastic end to a lonnng day, lol Most of this advice really applies at every size! I really appreciate the outfit swaps and the spontaneous DIY project, it was great having visuals to accompany what you were saying. I didn't realize cold shoulder tops were a notorious plus size hide-the-arms thing, as someone who is neither plus sized nor has any arm-related concerns, I always just thought they were super cute (on myself and literally anyone else I've seen them on). It doesn't surprise me that there are plenty of people out there who don't like them, though. It's definitely one of those styles that can give you a gut reaction one way or the other in relation to personal style, even if you don't mind it on other people.

Kristin’s impromptu t-shirt outfit is cuter than my everyday outfits that I try putting together ❤️❤️

Literally never had that thought about cold-shoulder tops! I owned and knew lots of non-plus-sized people who wore them back in the mid-2000s and early 2010s! I had no idea! They were definitely just in-style for a time!

I CANNOT PUT IN WORDS HOW LONG I WAS WAITING FOR IT AND HOW MUCH THIS MEAN !!! Thanks thanks thanks K… you are amazing ❤

[@erinzimmerman7953]

This is maybe the most helpful and affirming fashion video I've ever seen

[@m82s01l]

I love (honestly I love it) how every piece of advice you give is followed by, “but if you want to do it, you can.” 😂So supportive! 😊

Ok but the part about sizing up actually made me cry. Thank you Kristin

[@nursegen06]

I really needed the pants pep talk and the canvas analogy for prints, thank you. Also, in regards to dresses and sweating I have found the brand thigh society and their cooling shorts for under skirts and dresses to be amazing. I love all of your content and I hope you have a lovely day!

This was awesome! I would love to hear more about your curly hair journey - your curls are poppin!

[@margaretblount4794]

These videos have helped me to get rid of clothes I don't fit in anymore, even if they are nice and I like them. They just are for me anymore!

[@BiBlanketBabe]

Thank you for making this video! I have been through a lot both medically and emotionally in the past couple of years, and this came out at the perfect time. I really appreciate your attitude and advice, it is going to help a lot while I’m in the process of sizing up my wardrobe. ❤

[@cooking_the_books]

Wonderful advice. Natural fibers are my favorite! These videos are also my favorite!

I am having a hormonal day, I cried at the sizing up pep talk 😆 Thank you for being inspirational in a non-saccharin, humorous way ❤

[@kingoftheamandas]

I would highly recommend monistat anti-chafing gel if you get red and irritated in the crevices under your stomach or at the top of your thighs. I wear it as a preventative measure all the time!

I was just watching part one this morning im s o excited to see a part two!!!!! 🥰

When you brought up the concept of shopping in maternity section, it reminded me of when I used to intentionally by maternity clothing when I was in highschool. I was OBSESSED with cute babydoll tops. Heck, I still shopped in maternity even after having my kid. It's just really comfortable and convenient clothes 😊

18:20 It’s so pretty. It’s giving Classic Chanel as you said and I’m here for it ❤

[@aoihura]

That DVF wrap dress is so beautiful! I mean, that print! Just WOW! 😻

[@paperyakuk]

This video is the flipping best. Kristen’s attitude is just wonderful. I love it!

[@panthyrrvod]

Thank you. 💜 I am plus sized and I am genuinely bad at dressing myself. This was really helpful.

[@kenshinpsycho92]

As someone who’s moved up to plus sizes recently, these videos are soo helpful and the positivity is wonderful.

[@Howdybabes]

Kristin has ALWAYS been my main source of confidence in wearing what I want. I literally love her and they’re the best in the whole world

[@mpdursidae7033]

This video and the prev one inspired me to finally go through my closet and try on my clothes and get rid of the stuff that doesn't fit since I gained weight. Thank you so much for these and specifically that "hey champ" pep talk

[@lhmcd5538]

Empire line is something that I wear a lot of. I go for natural fibres as I’m very hot. The other rule is loose top with a more fitted pant or a more fitted top with wide leg pant. So one article of clothing tight and the other loose top and bottom. Simple but it works.
