The Reality Of Shopping When You're A Size 16 & Above

On What Are You Wearing, we like to talk about how fashion makes us feel. And the reality is, for so many Australians, the simple act of walking into a retail store and trying to buy a piece of clothing they love makes them feel terrible.

Today, we're joined again by Mamamia's own Laura Brodnik, this time to talk about her viral article "An honest letter to all the Australian retailers who don’t want me to wear their clothes."

Laura speaks about her experience finding clothes she loves, plus gives us some recommendations for some brands doing it right.
