I’m plus-size & trolled for wearing dresses I’m ‘too fat’ for – but I won’t let the haters stop me
A PLUS-SIZE woman has shut down haters who say she’s “too fat” to wear certain dresses.
The body-positive TikToker took to the platform to show haters that she can wear any clothing she wants, despite rude comments from trolls.
Beauty and fashion lover Justi, known as justi_makeup, makes a powerful show of confidence in a TikTok video that is aimed at body positivity for plus-size women with her body shape.
In the 34-second TikTok video, Justi tries on a number of curve-hugging and body-shaping dresses to showcase her figure and combat body-shaming.
Justi is also a finalist in the reigning Miss Voluptuous UK 2022 pageant and uses her voice to spread a message of inclusivity both online and in person.
Appropriately captioned, “Body shaming isn’t okay!” the video begins with a subtitle in the center of the screen that reads, “Clothes I’ve been told not to wear because I’m ‘Too fat’.”

In the first half of the video, the pageant contestant wears a plain black sweater and looks at the camera for almost 15 seconds.
She then shifts into a few fashion pieces that stun viewers.
The first dress she shows viewers is a white one-shoulder midi dress with a horizontal ruffle and white fabric that flops over the ruffle.
Justi places a hand on her popped hip, crosses her legs, and has a serious look on her face as she stares into the camera.

The next dress she quickly switches into is nude-beige with gold tassel details throughout the dress and a mesh see-through detail below the sweetheart-shaped neckline.
Justi first has both hands on her hips as she poses in front of the camera before dropping her left hand and popping her other hip.
The third dress she pops on is a bit more fun and form-fitting.
The short garment is a silk mint green fabric with sleeves, a tie-front belt, and a plunging fabric near her chest region.
To show her love of the clothing item, she pops one leg up in the air and confidently leans against the door frame with one hand propped up on her hip.
The fourth dress she shows viewers is a stark contrast from the others due to its dark black color and more modest look.
Nonetheless, Justi slays in the black off-the-shoulder midi dress and looks sophisticated and sensual in the style.
She does a myriad of poses in front of the camera and walks forward with her hands on her hip.
The final article of clothing Justi displays to viewers is a sparkly black showstopper.
Like the pageant girl she is, she stands in “pretty feet” with her hands on her hip and takes a few steps toward the camera like she’s about to walk down the pageant runway.
The body-positive advocate closes out the video with a shrug and “whatever” look on her face as the last way to snub body-shamers who say she shouldn’t wear the dresses.
Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
