Lena Dunham is Under Fire For Not Being Fat Enough
Here’s something I thought I’d never say: Lena Dunham is being criticized on the internet because her clothes are too small.
Specifically, Lena Dunham’s selection of five overpriced, ugly plus-sized pieces of clothing aren’t made in large enough sizes for some women, with the line only going up to a size 26, which according to Lane Bryant means a 54-inch and a 48-inch waist, which is… pretty big. But not big enough for Twitter!
Apparently Lena Dunham is making a plus size clothing line that only goes up to a size 26. That’s… not a plus sized line. That’s a mid size line with limited, extended sizing. pic.twitter.com/Xs3OFrVJwV

also it cuts off at size 26
because she wants woke cred for catering to plus sizes but doesn't want actually FAT fat people to be walking around in her clothes

An inclusive clothing line has to go past 26 and that is all I will say about that.

I get it, I’m not exactly thin myself, but if you go into the big and tall shop and everything I’d too small, maybe you should try jogging. Or have a water.
Of course, not everyone was mad at Lena Dunham for not being fat enough. Some people pointed out that Lena Dunham sucks and her clothes are just overpriced crap, which is all incredibly true.
real talk- why, as a fat woman, would I pay to dress like lena dunham? she dresses like a two year old whose mom let her choose her own clothes out for the first time.

I have found dupes of all of the most impossible to find plus size pieces in lena dunham’s collection. Lemme tell you, finding a navy skirt suit and white tank top was an arduous task but someone’s gotta do it. pic.twitter.com/57LQPajCLa

Lena Dunham says there’s only five pieces like it’s a specially selected, curated collection but two of the pieces are a white tank top and a blue skirt? Yeah, good luck find those in stores without Lena Dunham’s help.
Why is she even famous again? HBO bought her show about Bryant Gumbel’s ass or whatever on a half-page treatment. Hey, I’m fat and horny too, where’s my TV show?
