A MUM has hit back at those who claim curvy women shouldn’t wear tight-fitting clothes.
Anneliese King, from the US, took to social media to hit back at trolls who claim she wears figure-hugging outfits for attention.
Taking to Instagram, the mum, who works to help parents feel seen, revealed the misconception people have online about body image.
She turned her attention to talking about curvy women in a recent post and their fashion choices.
The mum said they don’t wear tight and revealing clothes or bikinis just to get “attention” or to look ‘sl***y’.
Instead, she said they’re just desperately trying to find outfits that fit their body shapes.
She added: “We’re just here, having a hard time finding clothes that fit, but don’t make us look larger than we are and that minimise boob sweat.”
Anneliese added: “It’s so hard to hate your body. To see something in the mirror, and then see something different in a photo.
“To see thin fit people and wonder why you just can’t look that way. I just am over it. Here I am. Like if you love me.”
The mum who has over 405k followers on Instagram went viral with the post receiving over 5,000 likes.
It seemed that her post touched a nerve with many curvy women who shared their own experience.
Many agreed it was difficult to find people with their body shape online and were glad for Anneliese’s representation.
One person wrote: “Women seriously need to stop shaming each other for how they look everybody’s different. You might not feel comfortable in those clothes but she does.
“Rock what makes you feel comfortable. Don’t bring someone else down because what that person is wearing makes you uncomfortable. Hell didn’t we get enough of that kind of shaming when growing up.”
Another commented: “I’m constantly trying to find bras, tops, swimsuits that minimise the size of my boobs! It’s been something I’ve tried to do since I was nine-years-old.”
“I think you look incredible,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I spent a majority of my daughter’s nap today trying to decide what I would wear for out afternoon outing, worried that I’d offend people by showing too much skin. It’s also 90°+ this entire week. The struggle to balance modesty and comfort is real.”
“I love seeing bodies that look like mine, thanks for posting,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Can we normalise REAL bodies like this!”
