The Role of Garments and Body Image

Ready-made Garments have become an important issue in the economy and for everyday individuals. They both are responsible for the coherent performance of each fitting and hands-on role.

Most of the time we never think about the behind-the-scenes of how a garment is constructed, we just see the finished product. However, there are a lot of contributions when it comes to the overall results: The designer, seamstress, print developer, print designer, samples, pattern cutters, and more. Everything is hands-on and consists of valuable time and patience.

" I'm not gonna sell you the commercialized self-love. I'm not gonna sell you the hashtag self-care". I'm not into that. I feel a responsibility as a pioneer in this wave of body positivity to push the narrative further". -Lizzo

Fashion companies impacted the body image by choosing to create their sizing standards based on the demographic, they tend to cater towards. For instance, a company such as Savage X Fenty has a target population of intimate apparel that caters to women and men of all shapes and sizes that celebrates fearlessness, confidence, and inclusivity.

Interesting Enough, the fashion industry is a 3 trillion dollar strive to innovate, balance supply and demand, and connect to the right consumers. Ideally, certain companies may choose to follow influencers who have, a "certain body type" to help advertise their products and their business.

The textiles and garment industry is the key to the growth of any developing country.

Finally, I hope this article helped you to understand that it's not about the label you wear but you wear the label and love yourself.
