I’m plus-size with big boobs – I tried the viral Skims bra in a 5XL but it rolled up and there was another issue
SKIMS prides itself on its inclusive sizing, but plus-size buyers have pointed out a major flaw.
A TikToker purchased a Skims bra in a 5XL and found there was a discrepancy in sizing.
TikTok user @Heensiestyledme tried on a Skims bra and shared her thoughts with her followers.
Heensie tried on the naked plunge tank bra, available for $48 from the Skims website.
The influencer explained that she decided to try the bra after seeing “a lot of positive feedback towards on TikTok.”
She explained that she was a fan of Skims as it provided plus-size people with non patterned clothing.

However, Heensie took issue with the size inclusion of Kim Kardashian’s famous brand.
Modeling the bra, she shared: “This is a 5XL, this just barely fits me and I am a size 20-22.”
The TikToker pointed out how small the arm opening is on the naked bra compared to other brands.
“While it is stretchy, it certainly felt like it was digging into my shoulders. I don’t feel like it has enough stretch to justify this small of an arm hole,” she said.

Heensie added: “I find this part tends to roll up after a while. And as you can see here, it is digging into my shoulders because the arm holes are simply not big enough.”
The influencer did admit that the material of the bra is so soft and felt amazing on her skin.
“I’m just so disappointed that this truly wasn’t fitted realistically, proportionately to a 5XL body,” she said.
Heensie’s followers took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the bra.
“This was a really interesting perspective! I appreciate your opinions on plus size fashions, especially as a straight size. Love these reviews,” one viewer wrote.
Another user said: “I appreciate this a lot. As a size 22-24 that 5x would barely fit me most likely, and that’s just not fair especially for the people that are 24+.”
“I want to like skims. I love the minimalist look and the utility. The sizing however is wack. Deeply inconsistent,” a third person commented.
