Dating back to the 1800s, fatphobia is seen through historically unflattering designs that typically only catered to upper middle class white women. Luckily, there's positive movement in clothes for fat women. Discover our favorite fat-inclusive brands — from sexy lingerie and custom gowns to anti-chafe leggings and curve-hugging corsets.

New Storytelling Project: Abortion in America
Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, women and non binary people across the country have been unable to access vital prenatal care, have been forced to travel hundreds of miles for an abortion, or have been left with no option but to give birth.
Abortion in America is a new collection of audio and video interviews that illustrate the wide-ranging impact of Louisiana’s abortion bans, gathered in partnership with Glamour, the Newcomb Institute at Tulane University, and Charley.
