Sustainable plus size fashion

Meagan, a fat Māori woman, stands in front of a yellow door in a black wall. She is wearing a brick red dress with brown marl stockings and black lace up boots.

This dress has easily been one of my most worn items this year.

Over the last couple of years I’ve been thinking a lot more about sustainability and how my love of fashion can be more sustainable. I’m a fashion lover through and through. From making my family sit through “fashion parades” whenever I got new clothes as a kid, through to sharing my style on my blog and Instagram as an adult, I’ve always loved clothes. The way I dress expresses my style, my personality, my mood… and it’s fun!

I’ve been a fashion writer and internet oversharer for more than ten years now, and after reading books like Consumed by Aja Barber and talking at length with friends online, I realised that some of the ways I’ve been talking about fashion and style are not sustainable (either for me or for the planet). Did you know that over 100 billion garments are made every year? I want to limit how much I’m contributing to that over-consumption, while still sharing what I’m passionate about. View Post

What to wear when it’s really hot

If it feels like summer is getting hotter, it is. The average temperature at my place is now 29ºC with most days sitting somewhere between 27-32ºC. Global warming is certainly making it’s presence felt – in previous summers it was more like 25ºC. Wearing light and cool clothes helps to minimise discomfort from the heat, so here’s what I’ve been wearing. View Post

Review: Snag Tights Leggings

As soon as I saw that Snag Tights were planning on releasing a clothing range (in addition to their tights and chub rub shorts), I was excited. Their stockings have been pretty revolutionary to me, and are by far the best tights I’ve ever worn. I won’t tell you exactly how many pairs I’ve got now – it’s not all of them but perhaps close! Of course, trying their clothing was a no brainer for me. View Post

Sloan – Conscious Clothing for Every Body

New Zealand plus size fashion blogger Meagan Kerr wears Noelle Dress in Bark, made by Sloan

I first saw a Sloan dress on my friend Shonnei. When I clicked through to check out their instagram, I fell head over heels for the whimsical designs. Immediately, I knew I wanted a Sloan piece of my own – the designs are very different to anything else I own! Each piece is custom made so no matter what size you are, you can shop there. Woohoo! As someone who’s sized out of many so-called inclusive labels (hello, humans above a size 24 do exist!), that’s music to my ears. I’ve never ordered anything custom made before, so thought I’d share the journey with you. View Post
