'The best thing I’ve gotten from [selling clothes on Instagram] is a reminder that there are many people in my life with bodies similar to mine, even if I don’t see them in person every day,' shares writer Emma Specter.
well practiced at, it’s trying to unload my old clothes. Over the years I’ve employed Etsy, Poshmark, and Depop to rid myself of stuff I could no longer justify keeping, and throughout high school and college, I’d line up to sell pants that didn’t fit and shirts I’d never really liked at Beacon’s Closet on West 13th Street, psyching myself up to brave the scornful rejection of sales staff who declared most of my stuff a “no” and handed me a few crumpled ones and fives for what they did take.
While those joys certainly informed my decision to put together an Instagram Story sale in January, I also, quite frankly, wanted to get some shit out of my house. I’d hatched plans to leave my apartment in Austin for Los Angeles, and I’d need to unload as much of what I owned as possible before driving halfway across the country in my elderly Honda Fit with my partner in a few months’ time.
The sizes of the clothes I’d listed varied, but most hovered around a 2XL, or a size 18 in pants. As a fat person, I know firsthand how hard these sizes can be to shop for, but I still got emotional when one DMer after another told me how excited they were to buy clothes that actually fit them, for a price that felt reasonable.
