Because feminism is an intricate belief system not a marketing tool

By having sizes representing the female body would be empowering women and not having them feel bad towards their body shape. After trying on afew tops in your shop, normally a size 12, I'm having to choose a 14/16 depending on the fit and they may not even be on the shop floor. While it's cool to have a feminist slogan top, we ask that you practise what you preach and make sizes that represent women's bodies

As a plus size woman I'm disappointed at the disappearance of H&M's plus size range.

Feminism isn't fashion.

I have enough body issues as it is without automatically being made to feel fat just by walking into your shops.

Clothes should be the size they state.

I'm a standard size 14 but H&M size 18 jeans aren't even close to doing up on me

I too have had personal experience with the bad sizing in this store.

I want to feel good about myself when I go ahopping not spend the next few weeks questioning my body because I cried in a fitting room.

I agree with the above statement as I have experienced first hand the embarrassment of having to try on a garment 2 sizes larger than my own, to then not even have that fit me. Consistent sizes within all high street shops should be a no brainer H & M?

It's important for clothes shopping to not be such a bloody nightmare! Our mental health and how women feel about themselves after being in YOUR stores and trying to fit into your clothes is important to us, and should be to you too.

Your store always ruins my body confidence to the point that I don't even try on bottoms. I'm a size 14 in all other stores.

I have been sized out of H&M clothes my entire adult life, despite being of average size. As a 34 year old it's become one of those things, as a young person in my late teens and twenties I found it very hard and demotivating.

Because the patriarchy is still the patriarchy even when it sneaks in wearing a 'feminist' tee shirt.

I work in the retail industry as a garment tech and I don't shop in your store mainly because I cannot fit into you rediculously sized clothing. In order to keep consistent in sizing you need to spend a lot of time looking at your customer base and work on working with your suppliers to ensure they are following the same spec. I agree that you should also add a larger size to your overall orders in order to expand your customer base.

I fully support these facts and this cause

I'm signing because there has been countless times I have been reduced to feeling worthless due to not fitting in my standard clothing size, to then try on the next size and potentially the one after that. Self image always will be an issue with the majority of the population unfortunately, we all know that. Having tees raising woman's voices is brilliant, but how in the same breath can you risk damaging the minds of woman who will be effected due to this. Please reconsider your sizing, I love your clothes but I dont love the emotional baggage that comes with purchasing them.

I am generally a size 14 but when shopping at H&M means I have to try an 18 but they don't actually sell an 18 in store, only online. Not only is this discriminative to the larger person but also very disheartening and mentally depressing leaving a store without a new purchase because according to the store your too fat to cater for. Considering the average sized women is a minimum of a size 16 I find this very worrying especially for the younger generation and how this could be affecting there mental attitude to there bodies. This absolutely has to change!

Some days I can go instore and buy a size 12 and it fit amazingly, however 90% of the time I have to buy a size 18 or 20. I've spent years dieting and have finally got to a place where I am happy with my body. However buying sizes which I am not, puts me off. My 13 year old niece shops here and it concerns me that although she is a size 8, she is probably buying 2 sizes bigger and the impact this could have on her body image.

Millions of women struggle with self confidence and self worth, the above letter is an excellent description of how women feel independent of size.
