However, shopping can be a drag when your size isn’t in stock at some of your favorite stores; at that point, you're forced to shop online and unable to try on items in person. While some folks don’t mind shopping online for their wardrobe, the reality is that some people prefer to try their clothes on first before committing to an item, especially if the store has a pretty strict return policy. If a store doesn’t have an item in stock in your size, depending on the circumstances you may be able to go to a different location to try and snag your size, unless your plus size. The plus-size woman in the video below shares her experience shopping at stores in person and unfortunately, the options were very scarce. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><div data-type="SOCIAL_CARD"><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@samyra/video/7281753268970163486" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7281753268970163486"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@samyra?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="@samyra"> @samyra </a> This is ridiculous…ALSO an XXL is NOT plus size nor should it be considered the pinnacle of inclusive sizing‼️ <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7281753291368418078?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - Samyra"> ♬ original sound - Samyra </a></blockquote></div><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@samyra/video/7281753268970163486" rel="nofollow"> In the viral video </a> that amassed over six million views, TikTok user Samyra <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@samyra" rel="nofollow"> (@samyra) </a> shared her point of view attempting to shop at well-known retail stores for <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/plus-size-fashion-woes" rel="nofollow"> plus size fashion </a> . Between stores such as Forever21, Victoria's Secret PINK, H&amp;M, Old Navy and Fashion Nova, the biggest size they carry is a 2XL. While some folks in the comment section of the video argued that a store having a 2XL in stock is surprisingly good, the TikToker explained in both the comment section and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@samyra/video/7281817749268008223" rel="nofollow"> a follow-up video </a> why a store having a 2XL in stock isn’t <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/plus-size-shopping" rel="nofollow"> as inclusive </a> as many people would think considering a 2XL is a different size from XXL. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> “There is <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/amazon-xl-dress-try-on" rel="nofollow"> a sizing difference </a> between an XXL and a 2X — they are cut differently. The former is cut from a straight-size fit,” Samyra explained. Some retail workers in the comment section of the video responded by saying that plus size fashion doesn’t sell well in stores, hence that’s why some stores opt only to sell those items online. The comment section may have been divided, but I think we can all agree that her shopping experience was unfortunate. </div></body>
