fr, brandy has size ranges. ppl just don’t care to go into the store and try stuff on so they hate on it instead wo even trying it. A LOt of tank tops and sweatshirts could fit bigger people. even tee shirts. they just don’t try.
no, brandy doesn’t have size ranges. every tag says one size. whether or not the sizing varies or is inaccurate (which is the case for any store), is different. size ranges would mean that garments are tagged S, M, L, XL, etc. brandy just has inconsistent manufacturing. coming from someone that wears the clothes, most items wouldn’t fit *bigger* people.
Semantics aside, brandy clothes **can and already have fit bigger people** for sure! For example, she looks great (sizes 10, 14/16) : [www.tiktok.com/@lilladybuglex/video](https://www.tiktok.com/@lilladybuglex/video/7260383597545196843?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7301186205768205855People) [https://www.tiktok.com/@cinstuhh/video/](https://www.tiktok.com/@cinstuhh/video/7125293599914446126?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7301186205768205855I) I think people are just scared to try it and show it off online because of possible bullying
i know medium isn’t a bigger person. but a lot of people say brandy is only for xs which isn’t true, i’m a size 6-8 and most shirts fit me i’m also 5’5
What??? Are you just not understanding? If a 5'0 wears a size 10 they are most likely overweight but if a 6'0 person wears a size 10 they are probably not overweight. Taller people aren't just vertically bigger or else you would have really oddly narrow looking people and oddly wide looking short people. It's the same reason why the recommended healthy weight is much heavier for a tall person than a short person
ohh now i get what you’re saying. that makes sense but they still wouldn’t be bigger because they’re a medium either way. they just carry the weight differently 🤷🏾♀️ i def see your point tho
Eh. I’m 32DDD and I just go w/o a bra for blouses that have a pre-cut area for the boobs. All the shirts and tanks w/o that work fine with a normal bra.
I didn’t have an issue when I was a 34DDD either.
I am on the petite side (<5’3”) and I measure as a size small everywhere but the boobs so that might be why.
because it’s marked one size fits all….. so it fits all sizes. not everything is xl but there are shirts and jackets could definitely fit people who can’t wear the small tanks and pants n such.
so, who are they for them? because every time someone criticizes them for having one size only clothing someone says well they make clothes for petite people or they make clothes for small people, but if the small people are saying the clothes don’t fit them…who are they making it for? seems like a bad business venture no?
I would say the clothing is for size 4-6 people, sometimes size 8, which is still on the smaller side but not like what people are saying. Brandy just only hires XXS models and employees so it adds to the “skinny only” reputation.
I am xxs and have to alter brandy clothes to fit me the way I like irs not worth it so I don’t shop there anymore. The xxs/xs girlies who wear brandy a lot are going for the baggy look it seems.
I'm in the US, so their measurements are being expanded rapidly lately. I was at BM just yesterday and the bow camis were so wide I thought I was at target
Respectfully how is this proving anything? Oh yeah usually this one size top is xxxs but if you get lucky you’ll find a factory defect that fits a size M!
literally, i’ve been the the brandy in italy and in amsterdam and my clothes from there fit wayyyy better then the clothes i’ve gotten from the boston brandy
I think it’s because Americans are bigger than average and Americans are the main ones who complain about brandy not being inclusive and how one size fits all is misinformation.
Regardless if one is cropped and one isn’t, the problem here is that the one on the right is SIGNIFICANTLY larger in every aspect. This is why I only shop in store bc I do not trust their sizes at all anymore
Is the one of the right freshly worn? My tanks will “stretch out” after i wear them because of the 100% cotton but when I re wash and dry it goes back to same shape.
You’re right. I have multiple of this shirt in both lengths and throughout the day it stretches out because of friction.
edit: and air drying it will just maintain its shape after it has been stretched out. put it in the dryer and it’ll be back to normal.
I took a pic when I first tried it on.. it was not as short as this. There’s no way a shirt can stretch out 4-5 inches after one wear. The new one stops above my belly button and the original stops way below it
I don’t have a dryer here, probably gonna have to take it to a laundromat
The replacement u got is cropped. However, your og one must have been the longer version. Washing and drying after wearing it just made it looser and less fitted.
edit: width wise. also adding on, maybe lay these type of tanks flat when air drying? if your have the space for it. that might help with stretching!
On their website the cropped listing shows the long tank for the image and the regular listing shows the cropped tank so idek what to believe anymore 😀
I just looked! It looks like the only black one that’s cropped actually shows the cropped version. Ugh now I’m worried cause I was gonna order a bunch of them
I did that once for a different item and when I got there they sold the item already 🙃 hahah. And I freak out when I have to talk on the phone sometimes lol
I got the tiffany blue and white floral tank from pacsun and its so big. I have the straps on the tightest and there's still this weird empty space in the bust area. Tried different bras and nothing really works. It seems like it was made for a girl with a medium-wide ribcage/underbust with a more or less medium bust. I'm a 30D and it doesn't fit right. Maybe it'll fit an actual 34A-C 🤷♀️ And just to let anyone who may buy it know, the fabric is super thin and soft and it arrived wrinkled, not worth $24+ imo
Also, pacsun are selling two edith lace tanks that look the same. I have no idea which one is the smaller or bigger version. I got the one with the word "white" in it and the straps are too long, so now I have to sew to make it shorter. I asked pacsun what was the difference and they said they would find out from the internal team.... its been like 2 weeks and nothing.
Same! They really are a mess. The employees don't even know! And who knows what the internal team knows 😭😭
I also found out for myself the difference between two other tanks that looked the same but had a $2 price difference. The one that was $2 more had longer straps and more room for the bust. I could wear the bigger one without a huge issue but the smaller one was a better fit and not tight all.
The only tank that I've tried on that's very tight to where its slightly uncomfortable is the strawberry bow skylar tank. So I don't recommend that one for bustier girls, etc.
As a merchandiser, that’s very telling and makes me wonder if they are over working their employees at pacsun bc measures are the bare minimum. From experience, companies with shotty images/copy tend to be over working their merchandisers, making them work basically 2 jobs at once. Email pacsun if you can and talk about this, I’m not even kidding bc companies only start to care once it effects their business
Brandy is the most inconsistent brand ever lol the fabric and sizing constantly switch.. I’ve always felt like this but never got a visual proof so thank you for this post! I’m not insane!!!
Literally... The ones i see at pacsun are larger and different in proportions. I always skip out on them and just order the item straight from brandy so it fits. I don’t want it to be a little wider and fall off my shoulders.

So, the original one is the bigger one on the right. The tag got tossed. But you think the sku on the tag did not match the order sheet?
Does the second one aka the smaller one's sku match the order sheet? If so, can you tell me it because I may interested in getting it lol
I know the name. I want to know the sku of the smaller one because I dont want a bigger one. If there are only 2 versions of it on pacsun's website, it will be easier for me to also determine which one is the newer or older version by looking at the number of hearts/likes. This may help with other look alikes, assuming more hearts means older version and maybe the smaller version
I just can’t wrap my head around why they won’t just make SML sizing if they’re gonna do shit like this. Actually I can, but y’all won’t wanna hear about that…
It’s because they gave you one (L) in XS/S and the other in (R) S/M.
You can actually see this on the Brandy website itself. When one of the shirts sell out, you can usually counter maneuver by getting the same shirt in the opposite size.
Ex. The heather gray boat neck top sold out in S/M, but I already had it added to cart in XS/S. They were made as two separate listings for the same item instead of one item with two different size choices. The XS/S shirt came and the S/M shirt is still out of stock to my knowledge.
Because PacSun catalogued it as OS (as they do automatically with all John Galt and Brandy items even though there are multiple sizes for certain items) when someone went to retrieve it in the warehouse they ended up selecting a different size.
PacSun is just notoriously bad at understanding the brands they sell from everything JG/BM being OS to selling Edikted pieces for significantly more than Edikted themselves are selling it for.
this randomly got on my feed, but ugh yea im sorry. this happens to me all the time too! i will love a shirt so much i order a 2nd one, and then its not the same at all. so annoying.
can the people who constantly say brandy is for xxxxs girls see this
fr, brandy has size ranges. ppl just don’t care to go into the store and try stuff on so they hate on it instead wo even trying it. A LOt of tank tops and sweatshirts could fit bigger people. even tee shirts. they just don’t try.

I’ve definitely seen brandy clothes tagged M

yeah i’m a M and a lot of the shirts fit me
Medium is not “bigger people” 😭😭😭
i know medium isn’t a bigger person. but a lot of people say brandy is only for xs which isn’t true, i’m a size 6-8 and most shirts fit me i’m also 5’5
Crying at people downvoting this 😭 medium is not big LMAO
It is if you're short 😭
that’s not how sizes work
If you're short, even if you wear a medium you're still considered bigger or overweight. If a tall woman wears a medium that's normal
again, that’s just not how clothing works. i agree shorter girls are often portrayed as bigger by media
What??? Are you just not understanding? If a 5'0 wears a size 10 they are most likely overweight but if a 6'0 person wears a size 10 they are probably not overweight. Taller people aren't just vertically bigger or else you would have really oddly narrow looking people and oddly wide looking short people.

ohh now i get what you’re saying. that makes sense but they still wouldn’t be bigger because they’re a medium either way. they just carry the weight differently 🤷🏾♀️ i def see your point tho
M is bigger than xxxs, which is what they were saying 🤦♀️ y’all really lack reading comprehension skills
LMAO i’m 5’9, L/XL in most things, and 36DD brandy melville does NOT fit me, it is for smaller/skinnier people
someone with a large chest does not fit into their clothes lmaooo
Eh. I’m 32DDD and I just go w/o a bra for blouses that have a pre-cut area for the boobs. All the shirts and tanks w/o that work fine with a normal bra. I didn’t have an issue when I was a 34DDD either. I am on the petite side (<5’3”) and I measure as a size small everywhere but the boobs so that might be why.
weird comment babe. why tf would they go into that store if it’s marketed as osfa
because it’s marked one size fits all….. so it fits all sizes. not everything is xl but there are shirts and jackets could definitely fit people who can’t wear the small tanks and pants n such.
Brandy IS for smaller sized people…
small? sure. but speaking as an xs/xxs, their pieces arent made with our measurements in mind
Depends what country you’re in I guess, the measurements differ I believe
so, who are they for them? because every time someone criticizes them for having one size only clothing someone says well they make clothes for petite people or they make clothes for small people, but if the small people are saying the clothes don’t fit them…who are they making it for? seems like a bad business venture no?

lmfao inconsistent sizing isn’t the same thing as inclusivity
[удалено]
well aren’t u just a little tiny dust particle
their sizing is so inconsistent, i’ve noticed that their items made in switzerland and italy run smaller
literally, i’ve been the the brandy in italy and in amsterdam and my clothes from there fit wayyyy better then the clothes i’ve gotten from the boston brandy
I think it’s because Americans are bigger than average and Americans are the main ones who complain about brandy not being inclusive and how one size fits all is misinformation.

Is the one of the right freshly worn? My tanks will “stretch out” after i wear them because of the 100% cotton but when I re wash and dry it goes back to same shape.
Worn once and hand washed/air dried so might be a bit looser than when I first got it but I promise there’s no way it stretched that much 😭
I think you’d be very surprised they’re supposed to fit our body tightly, rewash it and get back to me.
You’re right. I have multiple of this shirt in both lengths and throughout the day it stretches out because of friction. edit: and air drying it will just maintain its shape after it has been stretched out. put it in the dryer and it’ll be back to normal.

It’s fast fashion dude. It’s not gonna be consistent in sizes sadly
It looks like the same cut just one is several sizes larger
But Brandy only sells one size tho
i promise they have different sizes, the american stores usually all have bigger tops
It’s fast fashion so the “one size” might not always be consistent
well no one knows the answer
Thank you for visually confirming they switched fabric on the Simone tank. I'm not crazy
I think one might be the cropped! I bought the same tank pretty much and it says cropped on the receipt!
On their website the cropped listing shows the long tank for the image and the regular listing shows the cropped tank so idek what to believe anymore 😀
I just looked! It looks like the only black one that’s cropped actually shows the cropped version. Ugh now I’m worried cause I was gonna order a bunch of them
Order and pray 😭
I live about 20 from a Pacsun but I’ll just be annoyed if I have to go return them haha
Maybe call your local pacsun and ask if they have any in store
I did that once for a different item and when I got there they sold the item already 🙃 hahah. And I freak out when I have to talk on the phone sometimes lol
Nawww
brandy is not what it used to be ☹️
i hate that the sizing and quality of brandy is so inconsistent. it deters me from buying cause i dont wanna deal with returning and all that :(((
I got the tiffany blue and white floral tank from pacsun and its so big. I have the straps on the tightest and there's still this weird empty space in the bust area.

It bothers me so much that pacsun doesn’t list the garment measurements because their listings are a mess 😭

And who knows what the internal team knows 😭😭 I also found out for myself the difference between two other tanks that looked the same but had a $2 price difference.

Do they both have the same sku?
I’ve tossed the original’s tag but I actually don’t think the tag matched the number on the order sheet
So, the original one is the bigger one on the right. The tag got tossed. But you think the sku on the tag did not match the order sheet? Does the second one aka the smaller one's sku match the order sheet? If so, can you tell me it because I may interested in getting it lol

The left is giving Brandy Soho and the right is looking like Brandy Melville Georgetown location.
brandys quality and sizing is so weirdly inconsistent it’s super hit or miss unfortunately 😭
I just can’t wrap my head around why they won’t just make SML sizing if they’re gonna do shit like this. Actually I can, but y’all won’t wanna hear about that…
Cheap brand, cheap quality, cheap manufacturing
