Although smiling in the photo, she remembers having a hard time finding an outfit for the look, because “no one had postpartum samples that fit me”.
“I put together a @lavinoffical shirt and dress from @netaporter to make this beautiful outfit,” she wrote in the Instagram story, adding that “so many clothes from stores didn’t fit either.”
“It’s not a great message for women if their bodies don’t fit what brands have to offer. It’s alienating and confusing. And produced that baby’s entire food supply. What a wonderful miracle. But instead of being proud, I felt insecure. Simply because I didn’t fit in clothes. How stupid is that afterwards. “
Lively, whose husband is actor Ryan Reynolds, went on to praise entrepreneur Katie Sturino, the founder of MegaBabe, who uses her platform to call on designers to have more inclusive sizing.
“@kersturino and others are challenging brands to do better and help women not feel alone,” Lively wrote. “And she’s making meaningful progress.”
“It never boycotts this brand, this brand doesn’t support women with real curves,” she said. “I think it’s much better to bring in a designer, or a brand, and educate them about the fact that you’re part of the population, the majority of the population, and maybe you should think about it. offering larger sizes. ”
