Content creator Kristina Zias is a size XL/XXL, and she's on a mission to find clothes that are the right fit for her. To help other women navigate the complex maze of apparel sizing, Kristina also shows off how she looks in the pieces she buys. This often comes in the form of comparing the outfit with her friends who have different body types.
Together, they shop at Zara, Aritzia, and other popular places, and the contrast of the finished look, even though they're supposed to give off the same vibe, often shows that the same clothing can appear differently on various body types.
Every now and then, Kristina receives a mean comment, but she doesn't let the nasty words get to her. "The only way you can become more confident is by embracing your insecurities," Kristina says in one of her TikToks. "For me, I've always been so insecure about my stomach. And then I realized, 'Guess what? I can show up in a low-rise bikini, let my belly hang out, show my stretch marks, and the world is not going to end.’ And if anyone has a problem with my stomach, well f**k them. That says a lot more about them than me."
Most of the reactions to her videos, however, are positive, with many thanking Kristina for representing them and speaking up about the struggles of clothes shopping.

I am amazed at how good the XL sized clothes look, but then model is a beautiful woman.
I hate the pants on the XL girl. The waist isn't long enough, adds a weird V by her crotch. Change the pants and this is a great style for any size
Don't be like Ross and use baby powder and lotion to get them off if they get stuck. It will turn into a paste
This outfit does not seem to compliment either of these beautiful women. So far they have looked amazing in everything.
I don’t know where they live that determines the sizing. In Canada there is no way she’s an XL or size 14-16. More like XXL at the least and 18-20 more realistic. Nothing wrong with that. Just be honest about the size. My only complaint is that here, you can’t find stylish clothes in those sizes. Just because were plus size doesn’t mean we should be punished with crappy styles.
And the length! it's not just the horizontal size that has to increase, crop tops and short skirts are one thing, half showing underboob or a*s is another
