Alina Diaz explores how rigid fashion sizing makes many bodies invisible. One woman had plastic surgery not to lose weight overall, but to fit into a size small. The fashion industry's refusal to accommodate different bodies forces people to alter themselves just to shop.
And one that's even a little bit more heartbreaking from the focus group is a woman that said, "I had to do plastic surgery, not to be smaller necessarily, but to fit in a specific size," because her body measurements were all a size small except for one part of her body. So she wanted to be able to shop, and she went through plastic surgery. And the problem with that is not just fit, it's about not being seen. It's about becoming invisible in an industry that's not recognizing you.
