I guess she got weird, Karens are very weird

[@Swirlgirl186]

Not poor, good weird,not a Karen

[@taylersmith2721]

hahaha youre not wrong

I really feel like they just throw together the stuff that doesn't sell on their own

[@khills]

I suspect this is exactly it.

True

[@Diva380]

They all deserved better than that. Please do a part 2 of this with a different company and these same ladies.

[@localabsurdist6661]

Yes! A company that actually asks them about their personal style and puts some cool outfits together

[@princessmads]

@witchbitchthrift on Instagram would be perfect for this!

[@sarahlamper5701]

Shout out to the blonde girl for managing to style pretty “meh” pieces into really fun outfits. But Thred Up did her BAD. She said “edgy” and they have her bland pastel cardigans like????

[@sarahwenger4479]

I feel like when she said she likes funky pieces, they just threw in all the stuff that they hadn’t been able to give to anyone else

[@LacyG]

I really liked that white blouse on her, felt it could really be a cute staple piece that could be styled in TONS of ways

[@BritneyAlea]

I mean what was this box 🤦🏾‍♀️. I can walk into goodwill right now and find them better options for $10 a person 🥴. They’re all so cute, these clothes were so matronly, like not even styling them could help most of the pieces.

[@BubbleWrapWrapper]

These outfits.. did not do justice. The stylists at this company seem lazy, lol.

[@jessiesandoval236]

they are definitely lazy, and careless. I'm a size 12, and everything they sent me was way too small. They also, completely ignored all my responses and choices I had made in their little questionaire. I don't even know why they bothered making you go through the whole process, when they don't even use that information when they trow whatever in your box. They went over $$$ the budget I had chosen too. Not worth it.

[@sarah-mariewhite6471]

Can we sue Thread Up!? They did our girls dirty 😭

[@kcanded]

Thred Up sucks so bad. I tried to order clothes from them several times. I would ask for clothes in size 24, and I would see clothes on the screen that were anywhere from size 18 on up. I returned so much.

[@levistears5445]

It’s harder when it’s plus size

Seriously! I'm in my 50s and started lying about my age on style boxes because the stuff they were sending was so frumpy. These women are young and still getting "retired teacher vacationing in Cape Cod" vibes.

[@localabsurdist6661]

All of the clothes are extremely boring

[@faureamour]

This one was hard to watch. The stuff sent to them was for the most part not cute or stylish for their aesthetics. They tried.

[@ashamedsinner]

I don't think they tried

[@localabsurdist6661]

they didn’t even bother to send the right sizes... the one girl asked for tall and got short... that’s not even bare minimum

[@tayonerobinsonrutter5826]

"Their aesthetics"? True they shoulda just sent them all bowling ball Halloween costumes.

[@anibb05]

Terrible box for plus sized people that's for sure 😔

[@MarieGoos]

Everyone in the video all way more positive than those offensive style boxes deserved. Sadly, "matronly work wear" seems to be the only option in style boxes for plus sizes regardless of the company.

[@SweetHime]

Oh I had a lot of negative things to say about these style boxes in my end segment but it wasn’t included. But im sure it’s because they just had to get everyone’s opinions in with a time limit. But thred is NOT it for plus sized people, their clothing is so outdated.

[@MarieGoos]

@@SweetHime That makes a lot of sense! Also I LOVE your kawaii style

[@therealsprinkles235]

Why do they always have to make plus size clothing so printed or so matronly 🙄🙄🙄

[@avinoahreddy]

EXACTLY. being a plus size nonbinary person kinda sucks lmaooo

[@rachelrose1470]

Because it provides distraction from the fat that society shames us plus size people for having 🙄

[@mayaa1125]

I feel like part of the reason it’s so hard to thrift for plus sized clothes is because we only started seeing cute plus fashion popping up within the last 5 or so years so not enough of us have sold/donated the good stuff yet

[@taylersmith2721]

I thrift all the time and have a really wild closet of clothes that fit me. I think the real problem was that there really wasnt much curation happening based on our questionnaires

[@divaglam92]

I feel like most the people in the comments aren’t bigger bodied or “plus size” so therefore they don’t understand that thrifting cute clothes doesn’t really exist for plus size people. Anything that is vintage or plus size thrifted is going to look matronly because socially fashion wasn’t accessible to people of bigger bodies for majority of modern fashion.

[@Freya778]

Thrifted can be an option, depending on where you shop. But vintage is probably really difficult.

[@jenniferjones176]

Don’t use thread up ladies! This company is known for “loosing” boxes people send in to sell and reselling items they reject that aren’t reclaimed by the sellers!! Many personal bad experiences with this company and research has made me very unhappy with them! Do your research!!

[@luqicharmz]

They screwed me out of a lot of designer clothes and I only got $2.

I understand that it is hard to style someone you don't know, but c'mon people, these clothes are AWFUL😂 It's a styling box and those are literally the least stylish pieces of clothes i've ever seen

[@mee7055]

Why do I feel like some pieces where "supposed to be for skinny girls but let's just make it bigger without considering remodeling the whole piece for an actual plus sized person" yk?

[@Jessie-Loser]

This. 100%. This is such a common occurance. It's like they think if they just add a couple inches to each seam then it will be fine but it's really not.

[@khills]

Maaan they did Taylor WRONG. But no real surprise that they did such an overall bad job-ThredUp doesn’t have a great plus selection. But sending her a short when she literally said she’s a tall? Damn. Like, no excuse, and as a tall girl, 100% seals the fact I’ll never waste my time with the company.

[@amandalove3174]

This is really disappointing. The boxes didn't match the answers to the questionnaires at all. They completely threw whatever plus size clothes they could find in the boxes. They didn't even try 😑😑😑

[@woin9361]

It’s so irritating that plus-sized people have to get excited about the opportunity to tailor a basic item instead of people dazzled by cool pieces that fit their body relatively well from the jump. “Ok, I guess this fits, this will work in terms of fitting onto my body” is not the same thing as “I feel gorgeous in this.” It’s not cool that we rarely get to have that feeling

[@sandra501]

Aaliyah’s Makeup is so freaking STUNNING! It’s so fun and colorful 😍

[@Neon_vix]

I'm lucky that my local thrift shop has a fantastic plus size section

[@lantz2326]

There SO MANY different types of clothing styles/ aesthetics, I think they should've asked for what type of style you prefer like kawaii, insta baddie, cottagecore, street style, high fashion, dark academia, light academia, certain eras, etc.

[@NakamuraMiyako]

sure but this is real life not tiktok. no one says dark academia irl lol

[@lantz2326]

@@NakamuraMiyako It's still a type of fashion aesthetic, which is why I included it. It's much easier to get a feel for someone's fashion if they know the type of style/aesthetic you like or prefer. If the kawaii girl had a chance to chose kawaii as her fashion style on the quiz, she may have gotten the type of flowers she was looking for instead of the realistic floral patterns.

[@erylaria398]

I LOVE that you're naming all these styles. I love that there's so much diversity in fashion now and that basically everything has a label so describing personal style is easier. And yes, fashion companies should make use of these labels, you're right.

[@stace_d]

I feel you, but doubt the ppl working at thredup are cool enough to get "aesthetics" if this is what they put in an edgy box

[@turtlnickel]

Aaliyah's box is so perfectly my style. I also think the clothes looked so good on her! Too bad they didn't work for her, though. She has such a colorful personality and wardrobe. :)

[@leslie-ni4un]

They should’ve done depop bundles, that website sucks

[@edenjodie]

Aaliyah's so adorable

[@auberrymariee]

I mean she did tick floral, she really can't complain, they can't just KNOW she's picky with the flowers 🤦‍♀️

[@ananthim7358]

Exactly and the flowers weren't TOO bad or anything.

[@AM-pr5hl]

I am fully obsessed with Aaliyah but I felt like they gave her things that actually seemed within her wheelhouse of stuff she wanted. I wish her complaints were more along the lines of "oh I wish they asked for my insta so they knew more about my personal style" vs. "I said I wanted pastel but how dare they choose this type of pastel"

[@SweetHime]

@@AM-pr5hl funny enough I actually linked my Instagram account so they could see what my specific style was like and a couple of accounts within my style. We also were able to give details about what types of florals we liked and I tried to describe simple daisy patterns etc but it seems like thred ups plus size clothing is very dated with their plus size section. Yeah some of the stuff was slightly pastel but not in the style I prefer. which I tried to emphasize at my ending segment that they need to put more effort towards their plus size clothing and starting adding fashionable pieces, as this kinda reiterates why plus size people don’t go thrifting and prefer to find their own clothing.

[@AM-pr5hl]

@@SweetHime This is a very helpful clarification! In previous Buzzfeed style box videos, it's shared with the audience when participants send their instagram accounts or provide other more specific details to the stylist. Since that was left out, it felt like the online quiz was all everyone did and part of thred up's problem was the fact that they don't have a way to get more detailed information from their clientele. But you're right, turns out they just don't have the goods to back up what they're trying to do.

[@Banyo__]

As a tall plus size woman AND an avid thrifter (literally in there almost 2x a week), I can tell you----go to the thrift yourself and don't do this *ahem* trash box. I've found so many fabulous items in there in my size. In my personal opinion, it is harder to have someone shop for you in general but also as a plus sized woman, you know what you like and how you like things to fit and how to handle any of your body insecurities if you have them, and sadly the online world and these boxes don't really do well with that. I mean Taylor said, get weird and I think dramatic style and they sent her grandma sweaters and dumpy shirts. Yikes!

[@stace_d]

Thrifting is so much more satisfying to do on your own. These surprise boxes seem miserable to me, even when smaller people get them. I need to see each individual item and envision the outfit before buying.

[@kizthewizz]

I’m glad I’m not the only one sick of floral plus size clothing omg

[@oliviarightley5891]

Thred up sells “rescue boxes” that include as they say “gently used” items and I’ve seen people get stuff with giant holes and stains in it and then they don’t refund them

[@MrsWill-wd3mb]

I did this a couple times last year (size 16) and they did so well with the fit even if I only purchased a couple things. ETA: I also had better luck with my second box because they could see what I didn't like before and I was more specific in the notes section. If there were things I didn't like (like dry clean only or specific types of prints) they did listen if I told them.

[@nonoticarly8778]

I'll admit I wasn't excited to see videos with Jess in them, as I found her offputting in another fashion series she did on another channel. But I'm glad I thew away that misconception and watched this video!

[@jarjargreens]

Companies, please stop with the florals for fat people! Those of us with fat bodies want fashionable clothes too, we don’t need loud florals on everything 😣

[@ZoraTheberge]

The problem is modern, stylish, and young-looking plus size clothes haven’t existed until relatively recently. Thrift stores are just not going to be packed full of this new market of clothes. It’s like going to a steakhouse looking for a vegetarian option. It just isn’t there.

[@wildshadowstar]

Patterns are a bane of my life. I either deal with what’s on offer of I sort of like it, especially if I like the pattern but not the color.

I'm straight size and have ordered the Thred Up boxes a few times. I had similar issues. You aren't going to get unique vintage pieces. A lot of the clothes will be dated or matronly and from big box stores (or J Crew, there's a lot of J Crew). That said, I still like it bc the fee is reasonable and applies to what you keep so if you decide to keep 1-2 items, it is worth it and there is no charge to return the rest.

[@kimd1392]

I’m plus size and just received my first Goody Box a few days ago. Some of the items I received were ones I would’ve picked in person, and some were way off. Not all of them fit and those that didn’t were from brands I’ve never shopped with before so I probably don’t know my right size with them. And, a personal riff I have with thredUP, some of the items they sell are 10+ years, but are priced pretty high. That being said, the only item I’m keeping is a pair of jeans from Old Navy, a brand I buy a lot of clothes from, that were made in 2011 and are priced at $17.99. I’ve worked at Old Navy, so I know the style is discontinued and not worth that price. Some things this video does not tell you-you have to pay a non-refundable $10 for the box. You have a week to decide and ship things back. If you keep something, the $10 is applied to the item. If you decide to return them all, you lose on your money. Of course, this is only my point of view and experience on the Goody Box. I really love that As/Is did a video that features plus size fashion and the major obstacles we run into.

Oh yeah that was horrible. Almost all the clothes reminded me of the kind of stuff my mother wanted me to wear 15 years ago (when i was 16). Ugh, the wide-bottomed sleeveless blouses?? No thank you, never going back lol I've gained weight over the past year and am truly plus sized now and it really is a shame that it's so god damn rare to find stylish, well fitting clothes for my body size. It just seems like a marketing flaw?? Like, fat girls have money, you idiots! You're doing capitalism wrong xD If you're in Europe, then maybe you wanna try h&m owned fashion brand "monki" - they have clothes up to a european size 46 (their oversized stuff probably 48), they're affordable, they're very on-style as the kids might say, they do not retouch their photos, they regularly use plus size models and don't photoshop them, they are... trying for sustainability. My wardrobe is almost exclusively monki now, and the only jeans to fit me in 15+ years are from monki. They understand how to tailor for curves (a lot of the time at least).

[@leahschroeder3533]
