You're saying all the women in the world that are a size 8 and up are not beautiful.

It's true that you are too fat to be beautiful, but I still hate the strawman. Just because any company has a finite line of sizes doesn't mean that anything outside the sizes is less than. You just have to draw a line somewhere and every company has the right to draw it where they like. Coffee mugs, mattresses, and scissors all come in a relatively finite number of sizes, for example. It's your job to find someone who has the size you want, not their job to go above and beyond for you in particular.

They just don't fit the sample size. It's insane to ask a designer to sketch something and pay to produce it for one person, who is not going to pay for it, when it can't even be re-worn by a runway model at a show for fashion editors and buyers. If buyers like something, designers modify it as needed and put it into production. Then size 0-12 women can go ahead and buy it. But no one is getting freebies. Skinny actresses are getting loans, unless they really love the dress and jewelry and pay to keep it. Which almost never happens.

Like who the fuck do these people think they are? They are not entitled to anything. And they are inside the industry, so they should know exactly how the loaning system works. If designers start doing expensive, labor-intensive work for free they will end up going out of business.
