Your thoughts about Gap are so important. I'm at the top end of their size range and I feel such increasing panic about size inclusive options disappearing elsewhere (so sad about Wray) that I sometimes focus on how excited I am to have cute options more than I do the fact that the largest size being an XXL (and for many pieces just an XL, actually!!!!) is abysmal. But it's important to remember and call out! Thanks for the reminder.
I completely understand the excitement of being able to fit into something even if it wasn't intended for me - and then the disappointment of realizing that so many other people don't have the option of barely fitting into the largest size at a straight size retailer. It's not our fault that we exist in this scarcity mindset! But truly so abysmal for people who are on the larger end of the body spectrum.
It's very sad and I try not to be a Debbie downer about it but yes, we can't get complacent about these things. Thank you for reading <3

Appreciate you, as always!
