I’m a size 14/16 and did a Target try-on haul – I bought the striped sweater right away but the dress was NSFW
DURING a trip to Target, a fashion influencer recorded herself trying on a handful of the retailer’s plus-size styles.
She found one standout cardigan – and one adorable dress that disappointed her by being much too revealing.
Hannah Bracken (@hannahjbracken) entered the Target fitting room with a handful of jeans, tops, and dresses perfect for cool weather.
She usually wears a size 14/16, so the influencer was surprised when her first pick didn’t look incredible even though she sized up.
The Ava and Viv jeans were a size 18, and all Bracken could do when she tried them on was laugh.
“They just were not really giving,” she said sadly. “The wash was cute but they didn’t really work.”
She had better luck with her next pick, a white pullover from the brand Universal Thread.
“This quarter-button sweater was really cute, but not worth it to me for the price,” Bracken said.
Apparently, other shoppers had room in their budgets for the $30 quilted sweater – it’s now sold out.
Her next find was such a perfect fit, she put it on the moment she got home from the store.
“This sweater, though, I love,” she said, showing off the knit cardigan.
Bracken bought the black-and-white sweater in a size 2X. The sleeves and torso had stripes of varying sizes.
“I’m already changed into it,” she revealed.
But the final item in Bracken’s try-on haul was a major disappointment – she even called it “a shame.”
“This dress was a size 14 and I couldn’t even zip it,” Bracken said, blurring out the places where the NSFW dress left her exposed.
In the comments, other shoppers empathized with Bracken’s uneven shopping experience.
“Target sizing is so horrible,” one commenter griped.
But others were more positive in their responses.
Several people told Bracken she looked gorgeous in all her picks, whether she bought them or not.
“That striped sweater is made for you,” a fan praised her.
