This Plus-Size Content Creator Is Addressing Whether Or Not Fashion Trends Are Truly Stylish Or If They Just Look Good On Thin People
It is no secret that the fashion industry often excludes plus-size women in everything from marketing campaigns to size offerings.
But now, one plus-sized content creator named Emma Arletta is questioning if many of the clothing trends today are actually stylish or if they just look good on thinner people.
Her series entitled “Is it fashion or is she just skinny?” has gained widespread appeal on the TikTok platform, prompting many people to question what the fashion industry is constantly pushing as “on trend.”
Emma first finds clothing styles that are highly sought after each month. For example, on July 20, she bought the “poster girl dress.”
It is a semi-sheer mini dress with four large holes on the front, ranging from the collarbone to the belly button.
It also features cut-outs on both sides of the dress, beginning under the armpit and going all the way down to the hem.
The dress was worn by Kylie Jenner and has since been seen on countless influencers across the nation.
“But, I have not seen a big girl wear it,” Emma said. So, she found a dupe offered by the online boutique Fashion To Figure and tried it on for her TikTok followers.

“I mean, the tummy is there– there’s no hiding that. But the side cut-outs are cute. So, what do we think?” she asked the TikTok community.
This video gained over one hundred and fifty-eight thousand views, eighteen thousand likes, and a few hundred comments. And while many commenters supported Emma wearing the dress, they realized the dress really is not very fashionable.
“You look stunning, but I think this is not fashion,” commented one user, followed by some crying emojis.
“Not fashion, surely. Just trendy,” agreed a second user.
“It is not fashion, but you look good. For beach wear, yeah,” wrote a third.
Emma has also tried trends ranging from the low-rise maxi skirt craze to the flared yoga pants with an oversized zip-up outfit combination. And for many TikTok users, the series has been eye-opening.
Emma’s account has since collectively gained over 3.9 million likes and nearly four hundred thousand followers. To learn more about her or watch other videos in her “fashion or skinny” series, you can visit her account @Emma.Arletta linked here.
