Plus size vlogger/blogger?

8 replies

newvloggerperhaps · 05/04/2018 14:18

I'm a plus size woman (size 22/24 although in the process of losing weight). I really enjoy fashion and love watching plus size beauty vlogs/blogs but often times i feel the clothes are more fitted on the ladies than is to my taste. That's not to say they aren't fabulous and I very much believe that fashion is a personal thing and if you feel amazing in your clothes it really doesn't matter what anyone thinks but when I watch I can't really relate and get a proper feel for the clothes because it isn't my style.

This got me thinking that maybe there are other women out there who maybe have tastes like me and I kind of like the idea of starting to Vlog/blog myself. What's stopping me really is that I'm no expert. I just like what I like and I don't have any knowledge beyond the basics about filming and stuff. I also don't have a really defined personal style. I'm very eclectic which I think might be a problem.

If I was to give it a try do you think anyone would be interested? Does anyone have any tips on how to get started and if you would be interested in that kind of content what kind of things would you like to see? (I was thinking hauls, look books, shop with me's, in the dressing room. that kind of thing)

I don’t have any advice op as I’m not technical at all but I’d love to see a plus size blogger. I think it would be a great influence on the younger generation that may need to see and hear a self confident woman that isn’t size 0 (sorry if I offend anyone not intending to)

I say go for it and good luck!

I feel exactly the same, I want to start vlogging when my baby arrives in July but i feel that i wont know what i'm talking about or what to make a video on, i'm also plus size so not got the best confidence as i don't even have nice fat ( you know those plus size woman who just have the fat in all the right places :D) I'm just a flabby mess with really bad hair so it makes me think who would want to watch me, but i think i'm going to try it... i'm also TRYING to lose some weight at the moment so hopefully ill feel a little bit better about myself.

That said, i enjoy Hauls, seeing peoples houses/makeup/clothes collections, what they do in the day etc :D

Thanks ladies Smile

Dvg thing about it is there's lots of people who think they don't have 'nice fat' either so maybe they would watch your video's because they can relate to you more! Congratulations on baby Flowers

I would LOVE that. Seriously.

I thinj youtube could be a good platform.
I wouldnt be interested because its not my shape or size.

Hauls and try ons seem popular and you could learn on youtube.

You could google plus sized bloggers in UK. I found one I think called 'Pretty Butterflies'

I thought there were already a lot of plus size fashion bloggers? I think where you would struggle is that you say you're no expert but there are a lot who are and who are all over it

blackmirror1 · 06/04/2018 12:03

I just googled 'plus size fashion bloggers' - have a look op
