Most of us understand that the beauty standards society sets for women are horribly unrealistic. But recognizing this is true doesn’t mean we won’t be affected at times. Some of the ways we are impacted are so covert, in fact, that model Arabella Rae didn’t know about this one fashion industry secret until she was hired for a photoshoot.

If you’re a woman, odds are, you understand the pain of online shopping. Much of what we have to rely on are the models dressed in the clothing we might want to purchase. But have you ever noticed that the clothes seem to never fit you in quite the same way? Arabella is here to assure you that it’s not because of your body. Watch the video below to find out what Arabella learned in a photoshoot…

“As a consumer, I think this should be illegal,” one commentor shares in reply to Arabella’s video. Others add, “And this ain’t one clothing brand, this is EVERY BRAND” and “We’ve lost the plot. Shouldn’t they be advertising the clothes as they are?”

Model’s Unexpected Photoshoot Experience Inspires Her to Reveal a Little-Known Secret That Changes Everything

This reveal has left lots of folks, understandably, upset over this norm in the fashion industry. While there’s not much we can do about this immediately (other than be vocal about not liking this practice, of course) lots of people agree that the best way to combat this is by checking out photo reviews from fellow customers. In turn, consider leaving these kinds of reviews yourself!

A lot of changes need to be made in the world of fashion and beauty. The progress can be slow, so it’s important to remember what Arabella herself says about brands clipping their model’s outfits: “Don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t look like the website.”
