Halara Clothing Review: Sizing, Fit, Plus Size Verdict From a Size 14 Woman

I’m a size 14 woman and my favorite hobby might just be ordering clothes from viral brands I see on TikTok—so you don’t have to. I’ve tested Halara not once but twice, in 2022 and again in 2024, to give you the most honest Halara clothing review plus size edition on the internet.

Is it worth your money? Does it actually fit curvy women? Are they legit? Let’s dive in.

Spoiler: I spent over $250 of my own money (not sponsored!) to find out. This review is part of my Saw It On Social series.

What I Ordered From Halara

My two orders included a mix of Halara’s famous activewear, dresses, pants, and more. Here’s my Halara try-on haul for midsize and plus size women:

Both times I qualified for free shipping, and prices weren’t cheap, averaging $35–$50 per piece.

Halara Sizing Review: Do They Fit Curvy Bodies?

Let’s be real: Halara’s size chart is all over the place. One product’s XL is labeled a US 12, while another claims XL is a US 16. I ordered XLs based on their chart, and in most cases, nothing fit.

I wear a 12/14 regularly and could barely get their leggings over my thighs. TL;DR? If you’re curvy or midsize, size up at least one size—and even then, manage your expectations.

This is a key takeaway if you’re wondering, “Does Halara run small for plus sizes?”

And yes, we need to talk about the Fat Tax. More on that below.

Halara Cloudful Plus Size Leggings Review

In 2024, I finally tried their Halara Cloudful plus size leggings in a 1X and—hallelujah!—they actually fit. Comfy, stretchy, and they even have pockets.

But when I checked online, I discovered the plus-size version was $20 more than the straight size version. SAME leggings. That’s the biggest Fat Tax I’ve seen in years.

If you’re searching for plus size Halara leggings review, this is it: comfy fit, unethical pricing.

Halara Everyday Dress Review

The Everyday Cloudful dress is everywhere on TikTok, and I get the hype—it’s stretchy, has built-in shorts, and a thick material perfect for avoiding panty lines. But it runs small and hugged me way too tightly.

If you’re a midsize or curvy shopper wondering “Is the Halara dress worth it for plus sizes?”—my honest answer is: not really.

The cups were oddly lumpy, and it just didn’t flatter me. I wanted to love it. I really did. But unless you’re shaped like the models on their site, it may disappoint.

Halara Corduroy Pants Review

I live in San Francisco, so corduroy season is year-round. These Halara corduroy pants in 1X fit better than the leggings—yay!—but didn’t hit quite right on my body. A little snug when bloated, and not my most flattering fit.

Still, they’re cute enough to keep and wear casually. Plus: pockets! These are one of the more wearable pieces for curvier girls.

Halara Work Pants Review

These pants went viral on TikTok and I had to try them. I was hopeful but… no dice. The XL barely fit, clung weirdly, and didn’t drape like the videos promised. They just are not comfortable at all. 

If you’re here looking for a Halara pleated pants review plus size, I’ll be blunt: skip these.

Also: the plus-size version is more expensive and comes in fewer colors. Again with the Fat Tax.

In My Feels Tank Top Review

So, first I tried on the In My Feels Tank Top. This is a mix between tank tops and sports bras. I love to wear tops like this with high-waisted pants and skirts around the house, and I don’t have one that’s white so I thought this would be great. 

First impression was the fabric was really soft and stretchy, which I love. But the top is a bit tight. I can fit into it but it’s just tight enough around my rib cage it was a bit hard to breathe.

As a reminder, I ordered their XL, their largest size, but this fit more like an L. It is a really nice tank top, though, and if it were a size bigger I would keep it. 

Shipping, Delivery & First Impressions

Shipping was surprisingly fast! My orders arrived in 10–14 days both times. Secure checkout process. No loose threads or obvious defects on arrival.

Still, sizing issues made trying things on a bit heartbreaking.

If you’re asking, “Is Halara legit or a scam?” —they do ship what you buy. But it doesn’t mean it’ll fit.

Halara Quality vs Price: Is It Worth It?

Here’s the tea: Halara isn’t Shein-cheap, but it’s not Outdoor Voices-quality either. At $40+ for leggings, I expect premium materials (like Girlfriend Collective). Halara doesn’t deliver at that level.

If you’re Googling Halara vs Outdoor Voices, just know: OV wins for quality and sizing consistency. Over $40 for a pair of leggings is too much unless it’s top-shelf made with recycled material like my favorite place to shop activewear, Girlfriend Collective.

But the designs are cute. If you’re straight-sized and looking for affordable activewear with style? Maybe. If you’re plus size? It’s a gamble.

Halara Customer Service & Return Policy

Customer service? Meh. You have to email to start a return, and I never got a response. Their Zendesk chat isn’t staffed, and the return policy is vague at best.

You need “approval” to return, which feels shady. Especially since the sizing was so off.

If you’re searching for Halara return policy problems, you’re not alone. It’s a common complaint on their BBB with dates stretching back from when they founded. 

Halara and the Fat Tax

The Fat Tax is real here. Halara charges $20 more for plus-size leggings and around $8 more for plus-size bras. That’s not just a small markup—it’s discrimination.

As someone who reviews fashion regularly, I’ve seen brands price plus sizes a little higher to account for extra fabric, but this is egregious.

Is Halara a Scam or Legit?

Halara is not a scam—they send you what you order and the items look like the photos. But they aren’t super size-inclusive, and their return process is sketchy.

They’re probably a dropshipping company (though not confirmed), and a lot of their branding looks like Shein. If you’re wondering “Is Halara a dropshipping company?”, that’s a fair suspicion. They are made in China, which at the very least will probably cause issues with tariffs in 2025. 

That doesn’t mean the quality is trash, but it does raise red flags.

FAQs About Halara 

Does Halara run small for plus sizes?
Yes. Everything runs at least one size small. Size up at a minimum.

Is Halara legit or a scam?
They’re legit in terms of delivery, but their customer service and return policy are unreliable. I shouldn’t have to spend hours begging customer service just to return my jeans. It’s not an easy process. 

Is Halara fast fashion?
Kind of. They’re not pumping out daily new arrivals like Shein, but their marketing model is similar.

Does Halara charge a fat tax?
Yes. Some plus-size items cost $20 more than straight sizes.

Is Halara worth the money for midsize and plus-size women?
If you’re straight-sized and love the style, maybe. For plus size shoppers, you can probably find better quality and pricing elsewhere.

Is Halara good for curvy bodies?
Their styles are cute, but inconsistent sizing makes it a frustrating experience. 

Is Halara good quality?

I found Halara’s quality to be hit or miss, and I tried items from all over their clothing lines. 

Final Verdict

Halara is cute, but not size-inclusive. I’ll probably keep my corduroy pants and plus-size leggings, but everything else is going back (if they ever reply to my return email).

If you’re curvy and Halara keeps popping up in your feed? Consider yourself warned. 🛑

Hot Tip:

  • Use a spam email
  • Never give them your real phone number
  • Use a credit card (not a debit card or gift card)
  • Read sizing reviews for every single item
  • Always size up

  1. I live in Costa Rica. I desperately need clothes. Shopping online is terrifying to me because I’m a plus-size woman. Can you recommend an online clothing company 4 plus size women that’s a good value good sizing

    1. I actually have been shopping with Halara for a couple of years. My weight fluctuates a lot and I’ve gone between 12-16 in size and I can wear my XL dresses anytime to feel great. I love the shorts underneath. With any online purchase it’s just common sense to look at the size chart and know your measurements. The material is really stretchy so it will fit and…stretch! They’re ALL made with workout-like material so it’s thick, yes, but breathable. It’s also expected that it’ll be form fitting, but just pay close attention, a couple items are empire waist which helps with belly and high waist. I haven’t found another place that fits me as well and I’m much curvier than this blogger.

    2. Ditto!
      Kara I’m exactly your size and shape and hate trying clothes on in stores. Can you please recommend where you get your favorites? Keep in mind I am coming up on 62nd birthday so I am older than you but don’t want to wear frumpy clothes. Just comfortable casual.

  2. Thank you so much for this! I’ve been back and forth on the Halara site of should I bite the bullet or shouldn’t I. Until today I hadn’t seen anyone around my size (about a size 12 in US) review the items and the size chart made me so nervous with my measurements between the large and xlarge sizes on the chart. I’m so glad you mentioned returns!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!

    1. Same was just about reading to hit submit on my purchase but so glad I read this, I was so nervous about the sizing.

  3. Hi Kara! Any updates on the returns process? I’m considering placing a big order with them (ordering different sizes and keeping what fits and returning what doesn’t). I was curious if the return shipping goes to China? I probably won’t place the order if so, because I don’t want to spend a fortune on international shipping.

    1. Never got the option to return my order lol! I tried and they kept skirting around my request and then I eventually gave up

      1. That’s terrible and a huge fear of internet shopping. Had I known of your review earlier, I would’ve offered to buy the dress from you! I’m sure I couldn’t afford it, but I trust your opinion. I am in and out of doctors offices or having procedures. I have no time to waste on Chinese clothing because every single size chart I have seen are way wrong. So sorry for you, I don’t know how you keep such a pace of reviews funded by YOU. Many blessings to you.

    2. I love their stuff. But nothing is the same. One pair may fit different than the next. My friend is very large. And she has some in the dresses. And shorts. They are super cute on her. My boobs are 32DD. They are starting to make some d-dd. Which is nice due to them fitting so good. It mashes make boobs severe. So I ordered the D-DD. The feel of them is amazing.

    3. Exchanges and returns are a no go. You’d have to pay shipping. I’m having a hard time just trying to get a bigger size

  4. I am having the same issues with returns 20 emails later with them trying to talk me into keeping my WAY to small items if finally have a address. I googled it and it is a residence so now I do not know if I should send the items back. Guessing I will never see my money returned.

    1. Wow that is super sketch! I never was given an address, but yeah, I have a feeling if you send it there you still wouldn’t get a return. YIKES

    2. For future reference just put in a dispute with your credit card company and they will refund you. This is why I always use my credit card for online orders, your protected from these types of issues.

  5. I am a petite woman and I also have difficulty with size irregularities in xs/s. Customer service is frustrating and I am getting nowhere with them. I am about to deny the charge on my credit card. Infuriating waste of time.

  6. I ordered from Halara after the same wear-you-down exposure. I needed some new leggings. I noticed right away the lack of size diversity on their website and did not approve. I usually wear around a 10 and ordered L. All 3 items were too small. After an exhausting few rounds of trying to return things, I got an email saying I could keep the items and they would issue me a credit of the same amount to get new things. At first I thought ok, that’s not bad (thinking I’d give my items to a smaller friend). But. . . now I’ve been scouring the not user friendly website and having trouble finding anything I would wear! And worried that their largest size (XL) is still too small. So I don’t know if this “credit” is actually going to work.

  7. Thank you so much! I was looking at these same items, wondering if it would be worth it. Its so hard to tell just through their online pics.

  8. Thank you, thank you for your honesty and transparency here! I was looking at this brand and had 4 items in my cart but I stopped and made the choice to do a quick google search on any reviews.. so glad I came across your page.
    I am a curvy 24 year old who constantly struggles with online shopping because measurements across different brands is never consistent (as you mentioned as well).

  9. I wish i had seen your post before i ordered about thing running small. I’m normally a 2 and
    I ordered some of their sweatpants in a size small. They are so tight !! Ugh, i just emailed them
    and requested a return so we’ll see what they say.

  10. I ordered $104 worth of clothing. Orders over $100 were to receive a $30 credit, which I never received. Not the material I was hoping for. Kept tags on and placed back in bags after feeling the material and knowing it wasn’t what I was looking for. Emailed to return. They waited to respond til the day after my 14 days was up to tell me I was past the 14 day return period. I told them I wasn’t when I contacted them and that had they answered I would have returned them that day. They responded saying they would make an exception, for me to send description/info of items, pics, and reason. After doing so, they told me if I would just keep them and not return, they would give me $100 credit to order more from them. Since their product is not the material I was hoping for, this does not solve the issue. Very disappointing!

  11. Hi. Thank you for the review. I have not received mine yet. They advertised on FB. I am of course, going to refuse them when they come. How did they charge on your card? What name did they use? I would appreciate this help as I want to know what to look for when the bill comes. I will notify my CC company and take the charge off myself. I hate these useless companies. When am I going to learn.

  12. Hi Y’all, Tracy from Eastern Canada here. I am SO glad I happened to find this Halara review (thanks Kara for the pix & honesty of your experience PS: I absolutely LUV that pink locker furn item behind you, too cool 🙂 ) anyway, thanks for saving me a shopping/$ nightmare (that I so cannot afford to be out/ripped off), much appreciated. What is your recommendation for OVERALL BEST PLACE to shop online? I just have to express this: WOMEN ARE WOMEN WHEREEVER THEY’RE LIVING IN THE WORLD, WHY O WHY IS THERE NOT UNIVERSAL SIZING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!?? Frick, it would be amazing if this was the case, but COMMON SENSE AIN’T SO COMMON!! As is perfectly well proven in the world of shopping from one store to another! I just had to get that outta me…

    1. Sadly I’m unsure even universal sizing would fix this issue, because women’s body types vary on a greater scale than men’s (some carry more weight in their thighs, booty, stomach, and/or boobs, bone structure varies wildly, etc.). But I do agree with your sentiment; there should be SOME kind of roughly standardized chart SOMEWHERE.

      1. Hey Catharine! There is a more standardized chart out there – it’s what is typically used for men’s sizes and is based on actual measurements vs made up numbers or letters. While I agree it’s impossible to have ONE chart that fits all human bodies, a size chart that is based on measurements for women would solve a lot of the problems we are facing while shopping.

  13. I just wanted to say that while I appreciate your overall message, BLM didn’t start when George Floyd was murdered, and will not end until there is racial/social equity for Black people built in to all of our society’s systems and structures. I think it would be better to say, perhaps, “after corporations jumped on the Black Lives Matter movement (whether it’s performative or not),” and I would recommend spelling it all the way out.

  14. I should’ve honestly looked deeper into Halara before I bought from them, NOT just the reviews on the website.

    I’m extremely suspicious they use some sort of AI to auto-generate reviews for their products. Take a look: a lot of their reviews were all posted on the same day, they’re all 5-star, and they’re so generic they don’t really tell you about the product at all. All point to auto-generation.

    I will say, I bought two of their tennis dresses in a size S (I can be anywhere from an XS to a M in US sizing) and while it was snug, it did fit, and I liked the material enough I went and bought a pair of their crosswaist leggings in a S thinking they would be decent as well.

    I should’ve read the size charts… And even if I had, I’m not sure the leggings would’ve fit me right. I can get them on and wear them, but compared to LITERALLY EVERY OTHER LEGGING PAIR I OWN (which are ALL Smalls, and all of them fit me), they were atrocious. A bit TMI, but if you have any sort of a**, they absolutely will not stay up. Sitting down is just asking for crack to show, and they slide down while walking. I don’t know what kind of model they used for their leggings, but they are absolutely not for a female who lifts in the gym and has quads/thighs/booty, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend the leggings (or this company) to anyone. Definitely go with the small business (I like Pursue Fitness, WodBottom and Buffbunny) if you’re looking to spend these prices on leggings and want good quality.

  15. I ordered and had terrible trouble. I read the size thing so asked about changing. They replied they can but they don’t have 1 of my orders and can redeem me that money. The money NEVER DID show up .So this company has LIED . They sure can rip the money from account but never can give you it back can they. I want the products I paid for or want my money back . This is not right. Not a happy. Customer at all. Never ever going to order from this company again. Crooked and greedy as can be. Give me my 25 dollars you OWE ME….And send me the rest of the orders..

  16. Thanks a ton for your review. I was LITERALLY in awe of all the leggings I saw on their website. I’m a plus-sized petite girl (5’0, typically wear a size 14/16). I think my height lets me get away with a lot of smaller-sized clothes, so I can be anything from a 12 – 16. But don’t let that fool you because I literally have to scour the internet for my wardrobe due to being plus-sized and short. And what’s worse is I really enjoy fashion.

    I was initially disappointed that there weren’t petite sizes, but I get disappointed like that all the time. But then seeing their size charts, like a lot of other ladies above, I got confused. Now I don’t really know what my size is. I kept wondering, should I go XL or go into the plus-size section? I usually can wear both straight-sized AND plus-size clothing. The problem is plus size is even worse about offering petite sizing. They make longer inseams usually because they assume all plus-sized women are taller. However, you learn a trick or two being short and if I buy 7/8 leggings, they fit like full-length ones, and sometimes even still fit like 7/8’s! But again, seeing the changing size chart when it’s only one brand and the reviews here, I’m a little sketched out. I might try one piece and see how I like it before buying a haul, if I decide to do anything at all.

  17. I’m in the process of returning a pair of pants I bought from them. I’m a medium (size 6) and ordered an M size pair of pants that are too long and more like an XS. They require you to email customer service to request a return and send a picture of the item with it, along with your reason for wanting to return it. I did this and received a response about a day later with a link to start the return process. There, you send the same picture, plus one of it in its original packaging (??), and again list the reason for the return along with your contact information. They call this an “application” to return an item. I submitted this yesterday. This morning, I had an email from them offering me a store credit but saying that if I didn’t want to take the store credit, they’d assist me with a return. I told them I don’t want store credit, I want to return the item and get reimbursed. Have not heard back yet. Very, very annoyed here.

  18. Update: the following morning, I had a reimbursement from them from paypal. Didn’t have to return the item. Think I would’ve had to send it to China. Still don’t plan on ordering from them again.

  19. I just wanted to say that I enjoyed reading how thorough and objective you are in you reviews. I love the body positivity<3

  20. Just got 3 pair of extra large leggings-I wish I would have seen this first! I’m normally a size 10-12, and although I could pull the leggings up, I like to breathe more than I like the leggings! I’m not even going to try to return or get a refund, I’m just going to chalk it up to experience!

  21. I find this soo interesting! I ordered from Halara last year…maybe in Sept 2021 ish, and I LOVE both of the pieces that I got. I got one of the dresses with the shorts underneath and a pair of shorts and I found both good quality and were fairly true to size. I’m about a size 6 and ordered small in both and they both fit perfectly. I was just thinking I’d order a few more things from there. Clearly not everyone has had that experience!

  22. Thank you for posting an honest review. So glad I found this BEFORE I ordered….and I’ll be honest, they were wearing down my resolve and better judgement, and I was about to place an order. LOL. Thank you for saving me a lot of money and a lot of frustration trying to return items (not to mention, thank you for saving me from clothes that would have made me feel bad about myself for not fitting in.)
    Have a super day!

  23. Thank you for this honest review. I find so many of these clothing companies size everything too small so they don’t fit at all like the ad. And thank you for saving me the trouble!!!!!

  27. Thank you for your honest review, I stumbled upon this while looking for the Halra Canada Site So glad I did I will not be wasting my time. I am a plus size gal I need that XL and do not want to waste my time or have to send stuff back not knowing if I am going to get my money back bc of their bad sizing chart

  28. Thank you for this review! I just ordered for the first time from there and promptly cancelled it after reading all of the comments! Looks like my search for summer swim dresses continues! 🙂

  29. I was in the process of checking out on Halara’s site when a little voice in my head said “do some research first”. So I did and found this and boy was it helpful! I’m a size 6-8 which is really tricky to buy online cause I never know if I should go with a Medium or a Large. Their reviews weren’t helpful which is why I searched and am glad I found this. Thank you!!

  30. I ordered a bunch of HALARA stuff for the first time recently and really liked it. I’m a size XS and would not suggest sizing up as I found everything to fit TTS. I personally am glad they don’t use plus size models. It’s like encouraging people to be unhealthy by showcasing obese people. This whole post seemed to be more about shaming the company for you not fitting into their clothes than actually reviewing the clothing quality.

  32. My daughter is trying to return an item for refund, but Halara never has sent a complete and correct mailing address.
    She was given a CA address, but the post office says that it is not a compete address.
    Do you know the address for returns?

  33. Kara, my ex sent me a “Facebook video” of this “amazing company”, let me tell you it is super refreshing to see such honesty and boldness on the internet. Your pictures show true beauty in the fact your not uncomfortable in your own skin.

    I am disappointed that Halara Wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be but not seriously surprised either.

    Those dresses looked so cute she would have loved them, but as for ordering, we will have to consider that carefully.

    In truth she can rock anything dress related, but I’m not sure on the sizing gaps you cautioned about.

    Thanks for honesty in a place where “glam and gram” seems to rule peoples conscience nowadays!

  34. My order has taken almost a month to arrive. I have lost all excitement until your review. Hoping for the best but missed sooo many opportunities to wear it 🙁

    Thanks for the review.

    Care

  35. I am so glad I found this review!! I have been considering buying their dresses, but every time I measure myself, the sizes are not accurate at all! I am a 12, and the measurements said I was over an XL. I cannot stand when companies only market to thinner people but try to pretend like they offer larger sizes. I am a thick girl and deserve clothing too!

  36. Halara advertises easy returns.
    I’m trying to return the two skirts that are I’ll fitting.
    I am getting the run around to return.
    There is nothing easy about this process.
    No address for return has been provided after numerous communications and filling out their return processing form.
    Time to get my credit card company involved.
    My advice is don’t order from them unless you are sure you will keep it.
    Which is difficult because the sizes run small.

  37. Hi Kara,

    Thanks for the thorough review! I’m definitely glad I decided to look for some reviews before I purchased anything. Yours the the first and o my one I needed to read!
    I was being bombarded with ads on instagram and almost got sucked into purchasing something I would have regretted.

  38. This is why I use Stitch Fix. I only keep what I like and they send a return bag for what you want to send back.

  39. I wish I had read your full review before I ordered! I’m a US medium (size 6 or 8 depending on the brand) so I was debating between their small and medium… I ended up ordering one of each (in 2 different fabrics) but now I’m worried I should have ordered a large. Wish me luck!!

  40. Your review addressed my concerns perfectly! I’m looking forward to checking out the other clothing brands you mentioned.

  41. Thank you so much for the Halara review . I’ve been in the fence of ordering from them . But all the models look like size zero but they boast it hugs curves … I’m sorry what curves ?! Your review helped me because I’m 10-12 and probably just going to save my money . Thanks again !

  42. Please permit me to express a few words about the bitcoin sector, even though I’m aware that doing so might go against your website’s policy prohibiting comments unrelated to articles.
    I’m quite dissatisfied with how inadequately banks and computer security technologies have guaranteed transaction security and safety. Due to my connections with dubious binary option firms, I have suffered financial losses.
    I had lost more than $190,000, therefore I was happy to be able to recover it back thanks to Adrian Lamo.
    I’m still baffled by how he manages to balance all he does with delivering work on schedule. It was the finest thing I’ve ever done, in my opinion, to get in touch with Adrian via his Gmail account (HACK WITH ADRIAN LAMO (@) Gmail . com), and I have no doubt that he can help someone retrieve their lost monies, whether they were given as cash or cryptocurrency to unauthorized parties (scammers)

    1. I’m really happy to see assessments about Adrian Lamo because, if I had to judge by myself, I’d say that he was either underestimated or too private to enjoy the kind of fame he deserved.
      He once assisted me in remotely hacking and spying on my husband’s gadgets, and I’m still unsure how he manages to do it all; it all seems quite bizarre to me. Nevertheless, I’m grateful to have received excellent hacking services from him.

  43. Yes! Thank you so much for doing this review! You just saved me $80 and regret!
    I was ready to buy but after reading your review about sizing being way off I would rather find something with more inclusive sizing options. Thank you again!

  44. Would love to see another Halara try on since it seems like they’ve expanded their sizing since this was written?

  45. THANK YOU! The first thing I thought on their website was “Wow not a single model is my size” and then I found your review and was ecstatic! Thank you, this makes my decision easy.

  46. Don’t you think that what you wrote is a bit xenophobic? “is a Chinese company and you always have to protect yourself a bit when shopping those guys”. I mean really? “Those guys”?

    1. I appreciate your comment, and I know you are seeing a small portion of everything we put out so you have missed Whimsy Soul’s numerous content around Anti-Asian hate, donations to local California Asian communities and advocacy against racism in general. In terms of our recommendation for shoppers protecting themselves against overseas companies, we review and share about fashion companies and almost every single time our team and readers both have reported refund issues, shipping issues, return issues, quality issues, some with the company taking 4+ months to process a refund. This is why we recommend people who choose to shop from companies that are based in China or other overseas companies to protect themselves with layers such as a good credit card or through PayPal. Chinese companies often don’t have to abide by the same Consumer Protection Laws as ones that are based in the EU or USA have to. I hope this clears things up.

  48. Plus size clothing requires more fabric than smaller sized clothing. But you want to shame this company by calling it a “fat tax”. So who is supposed to pay more for the extra fabric required for larger sizes? Everything costs money. And MORE of something might cost more than less of something. Fact of life. Every major manufacturer has to break it down to cost.

    1. If this was true, then an XS would cost less than a Medium but that’s not the case. Try again and check your fatphobia

      1. Spot on! It seems like Halara’s spies don’t like your honest review. They would have nothing to worry about if they were an honest company.

      2. Ha! If you scroll down a few comments, both “R” and “Diana” have left the exact same reply, word for word, and only two minutes apart. You’ve got Halara worried. 😊

      3. To nobody up a few messages. If made in china they’re smaller in stature and generally weigh less.
        Getting things from overseas generally is a pain some countries. Just because there’s kinks in size no plus doesn’t mean you’re xenaphobic. I had to type plus on their search engine to find what i wanted. Halara is a cute website but i can’t afford right now. I appreciate your canter.
        Looking forward to your next review.

  50. This review was really really helpful, thank you so much!!! I’m definitely a full bodied curvy girl and it’s so frustrating trying to find truthful and honest reviews about all the over advertised clothing websites these days.

  51. So I went and read your Outdoor Voices review after reading on this Halara review that it was your favorite athleisure brand, but your review of them wasn’t super positive. It was a couple of years ago so I was wondering if they’ve gotten better since the first time you tried it??

  53. I hate the fat tax. Fat or not, if you’re not small built, you have to pay extra. I’m 5’11, and I’ve given up and buy mostly men’s clothes because it’s just impossible. Total bogus! Thank you for your honest review. I just saw an ad from a women claiming she was my size gratifying Halara, but lo and behold – it’s all lies. This is why I google first, and only buy if it’s confirmed, which it is not in this circumstance.

  54. Thank you for this great review and honest pictures. The one with the legging happened to me a few times and gosh does it feel awful.
    I’m “happy” to see I’m not alone in this.

    You have an infectious smile and I will look around your blog some more 🙂

  55. It could be challenging and disturbing to find these outrageously priced fine athleisure and gym wear that work wonders in the current economic climate. However, because of these amazing deals and coupons from digmycart, the procedure has been quick and inexpensive for me.

  56. I suggest using Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery for all of your cryptocurrency and digital asset recovery needs. They assisted me in recovering my money because I was one of their clients. When it comes to recovering cryptocurrency, they truly are the finest. My money was placed on a bitcoin trading platform that went down earlier this month. Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery was able to retrieve my money from the crashed platform when I got in touch with them after finding their website. I am posting this here for everyone to see since it made me so happy. You can get in touch with Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery using the details listed below.

    Thanks.

  57. What you call fat tax is probably an upcharge due to more fabric being used (that is also why most kids clothes are cheaper than adult clothes) on a pair of leggings the fabric on a pair of xxl can easily be double compared to xs. Price shouldn’t double due to this unless it makes the item a lot bulkier and therefor also makes warehouse and shipping more expensive, but with clothes being so ridiculiusly cheap these days, all considering, a higher price for bigger sizes makes sense to me. I would definitily not call this a fat tax. That expression makes no sense to me at all.
    Clothes these days are so cheap that people buy and wear only once, which is horrible and insanely bad för the environment. It also means that everyone in the production line cannot afford to give away extra fabric for free. It actually has nothing to do with fat and it kind of boggles the problem calling it a fat tax. The problem is actually that everyone is competing for the low price point. Too low prices is the problem.

  58. Thank you for your reviews! I have personal questions. If you feel it’s too invasive just tell me to mind my own business. I’m 5’10”. I weigh between 160-175 depending on my mindset. Im currently 39/33/40. Could you give us your measurements so we have a better idea of how the sizes might fit others? Thank you.

  59. Thank you! Got the ad, but an uk size 24 and I was only interested because they seemed so comfy to wear outside…. but i hate companies with dishonest size charts so much smh

  60. Hate to be “that person”, but the “fat tax” is only because plus size clothing does take more fabric, which costs more money, its not a “shaming” thing nor a tax.
    That said, I myself am plus size and yes $20+ is totally outrageous!

      1. It is the case. Its the same with quilts; a twin costs much less than a king because twin quilts are less material.
        Small clothing costs less than xlarge etc becasue less material. A large is the same as small because its still not as much material needed as it gets larger.
        It comes down to material costs, not punishing people for being plus size. Like I said, I am plus sized myself and was upset about it myself til it was explained to me it all comes down to types of materials and how much material is needed. And this was explained to me by my boss in a clothing store I worked in that carried all sizes. 🙃

  61. Thank you for this review. I had my cart full (Insta suckered me in). But then I thought, hmmmm, I should read some reviews. Thank you for your honest review. As an XL sized woman, it’s so hard to find items that fit and aren’t dumpy looking, if too tight.

  63. Love all of this. Your voice is so authentic and approachable, and the inclusivity is great! But please have someone proofread your work. The typos distract from the great work you’re doing!

  64. That’s not my experience at all.
    I just received my order after 2 days! I am stunned at how fast the shipping was. I got two small dresses and they are gorgeous and fit perfectly… and my size varies with different clothing brands…
    Did you take your measurements and read the corresponding measurements for each size? I did and they fit perfect.
    Super flattering, gorgeous dresses. They look like some Reformation dresses I have, but less than half the price.
    Sorry for your not so great experience.

  66. Hey- thanks for your honest review. Having a sketchy return policy just makes it a no for me!
    As an aside- I thought your use of the term “flattering” ( in that the pants weren’t so flattering) was still a great term even if it is subjective. We need to look for things that are a flattering cut, and while that might be different from
    Person to person, well
    Made clothes are gonna have a more flattering cut. It’s not about looking thin, it’s about the clothes hitting in the right way so they look good on a person.

    Anyway- thanks for your reviews!!

  67. That isn’t fast shipping. And fat tax? It literally takes more fabric to make a size double the size of the smaller ones. It isn’t a profit.

  68. I am so glad I came across she reviews of these HALARA products. I too have been bombarded on TikTok and Instagram with these ads and I’m glad I didn’t purchase anything. Some of the stuff is super cute but knowing that it fits like crap and then return service is crab makes me realize that I don’t need that product.!!!

  69. I keep getting the same pair of pants advertised to me on social media from them. Quick Amazon search and I can find the same pants for $15-20 cheaper. That is one my really big frustrations with a lot of these companies. They are not making their own product, they’re just putting their name on a mass produced item.

    1. Love to get the link you nentioned on Amazon. Keep getting halara pop up on my fb feed too. I messahed them to ask if returns were free shipping if peoduct was damaged or didnt fit. Instead of telling me a straight andwer they sent me link that took me 15 minutes of reading to fjnd out. No you pay your own ahipping and only if they approve your reasons in advance would you be refunded. After reading this reviews im never orderjng.

  70. Incredible review that answered all my questions! I actually feel like I can make an informed decision- thank you!!

  74. You are offering such a wonderful resource, and it is yours without charge. I like reading blogs that recognize the importance of offering a high-quality resource without charge.

  75. Hey I just wanted to make sure you knew that you can unsubscribe from emails after being added to an email list rather than having a “spam account” and getting fewer emails does help with your carbon footprint if you’re worried about climate change!! Thank you for the honest review.

    1. If you are worried about climate change, worry about those ppl that find ordering bulks normal.

  76. This review was incredibly, incredibly useful; many thanks! As an individual who identifies as full-bodied and voluptuous, I find it extremely aggravating to locate unbiased and truthful reviews on the numerous apparel websites that are currently overly promotional.

  77. Hi Kara, I am a kara too! I just read your article on your Rothy’s as I am thinking of getting a pair. Question for you did you get the Point or the Point II? Thanks for sharing your opinion, I am going to give them a try!

  78. After loosing $60k to this binary crypto investment in 2022 I don’t think I’d ever trust any form of crypto investment platform again, luckily for me I was able to recover my stolen crypto assets through this incredible hacker who understands everything about the blockchain network. It was an emotional moment for me but this hacker literally saved my life, like he was able to pull back all my transactions in a matter of some few hours and I got the exact amount I lost. I would advise anyone in the same situation to not panic cuz digital assets can be recovered, contact him on Contacthackadviser at G mail C0m.

  79. you can call it a fat tax but its not just a matter of a few more cms of fabric, sometimes you have to cut a different way that requires using a greater length of the material. I used to be big , I know this is sadly true

  80. The first review (tank top) looks NOTHING like their stock photo. I didn’t see anywhere in your review where you mentioned that the straps in the photo are spaghetti straps and yours is just regular tank top straps. Deceitful marketing! Thanks for the honest review. I now know to avoid them at all costs!

  82. Because clothes look better on slim people – period. Perhaps having to pay more for clothing should come as motivation to lose weight, rather than complain all the time, and willingly reduce your longevity.

    And the people in the comments saying that they’re “plus-sized”, get your heads out your azzes, you’re fat and overweight. Not fking “plus-sized”. I’m tired of fat people constantly trying to make it like the rest of society needs to cater to them. Lose some goddamned weight and then you’ll have an easier time ffs.

  83. It is not a “fat tax” it is because much larger sizes cost more money for the manufacturer it is literally more fabric to cover more body weight. It is the same with large breasted women they ALWAYS charge us a fortune for a good supportive bra becuase it requires more material and a different design. I suppose they could raise the price to the “fat tax” size and make people who are skinnier pay more money for less fabric to off set the cost of more material so that everyone has the same price. I wonder if skinny people would complain they are having to pay more for something they are not getting or needed??

  85. Can we normalized fat ppl going to stores? The whole idea of sending stuff around is so evil to the environment

  86. I just came to say that your “fat tax” problem is ridiculous. I am a bigger girl myself and I understand the logic that you have to use more material for bigger sizes so of course they should cost more. If you buy material to upholster a small chair vs a big chair, you have to pay more to upholster the bigger chair. Use logic.

  87. Your review is superb! I saw an IG ad for Halara, wanted to investigate further, and in that process I found this blog. I am SUPER impressed by how thorough your process is. I’ve gone through similar lengths checking out online brands (as I am a U.S. XL as well, and you never really know until you try) but true to form, you did it so I didn’t have to! You’re saving us so much time and hassle, while providing excellent analysis. Seriously, MVP! New favorite review blog! 👏

  88. Hi!

    Thank you for the review. Have you tried washing the products? Do they still look the same and retain shape and feel?

  89. You really ought to consider having someone proofread/ edit your content. I’m a writer & editor, so errors jump out at me, but the ones here would be obvious to any reader. Typos, misspellings, punctuation problems, grammar issues. You’ve got “Shein” spelled two ways in back-to-back sentences.

    Even just a quick pass through the free version of Grammarly would help. It would catch all your mistakes but it would likely be a big improvement.

    I realize you might not think this is a huge deal, but it detracts from your content and reflects poorly on your professionalism. HTH, and best wishes.

  90. Thank you so much for such thorough reviews. I really do appreciate it.

  92. I am open to sharing my experience with Bitcoin investment and losing money to scammers. However, yes it is possible to recover your stolen bitcoins. I never believed in Bitcoin recovery because I was made to understand that it was not possible. However, sometime in October, I fell for a forex scam that promised overly high returns and ended up losing close to $55,000. I searched for a month for help until I finally came across an article on Reddit in regards to recovering stolen cryptocurrency so I reached out to them (brigadiatechremikeable(@)proton.me)OR Telegram +1(323) 9 1 0 1 6 0 5 I was so scared and skeptical because I have heard of bad experiences. Still, I decided to give him a try and to my greatest surprise I was able to get all my stolen bitcoins recovered from the scammers within a very short time frame. And they were able to introduce me to the best and legit BTC investment

    I am so happy to keep getting my daily BTC, all I do is keep 0.1 BTC in my mining wallet with the help of Brigadia Tech. They connected me to his mining stream and I earn 0.4 btc daily with this, my daily profit. I can get myself a new house and car. I can’t believe I have thousands of dollars in my bank account. Now you can get in.

  126. I guess the best solution to your problem is to lose weight. Bigger bodies need more material and to be more expensive. But your weight is your control, and has nothing to do with halara.

  129. Right here is the perfect webpage for everyone who wants to find out about this topic.
    You understand a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not
    that I personally would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a
    subject that has been discussed for decades. Great stuff, just excellent!

  132. What’s up to every body, it’s my first go to see of this blog; this blog includes remarkable and really excellent information in support of readers.

  135. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Another dishonest, fast fashion, Chinese online store.
    I bought 2 pants and 1 jumsuit. Synthetic fabrics. Their size chart is really OFF. I chatted with them for a return/exchange. They DON’T do that 🙁
    You either send back everything for refund, IF you EVER get refunded… You have to pay for shipping charges of course.
    Or, they wrote me I could give the clothes to charity and give me a gift card so I could purchase the same 2 pants IN THE RIGHT SIZE. They write I would receive a 115,16USD gift card within 24h. I have it in WRITING. It was a LIE!!
    I had to chat and write several times to finally receive a 77,54USD gift card 🙁 The amount was changed because I am Canadian! What is this?! Discrimination???
    Days later and after many messages from me I still have not received the gift card with the promised amount. They, in fact, refuse REFUSE TO KEEP THEIR WORD TO ME. I am stuck with pants too big, no refund and a gift card for the wrong amount. After an entire week dealing with them, I don’t have anything. They went as far as DENYING ME the right to review the items I bought with an automatic message that MY ORDER DOESN’T EXIST!! No freedom of expression. No possiblity to leave my review on their site. Is it even legal?! Are we in Canada here or in China?! One sometimes wonder… I DO NOT TRUST THEM to refund me completely id I send the items back. So, I ordered with the lesser gift card as they would NOT live up to their word, concluding this is another cheating, lying, CHINESE company:(
    My advice: STAY AWAY FROM HALARA! YOU WILL REGRET IT…

  136. Great items from you, man. I have keep in mind your stuff
    prior to and you are just extremely excellent.

    I really like what you’ve got here, certainly like what you are

  150. I’m Cissy Pringle, a sales manager at Gold & Silver. After my home was broken into and my phone was stolen, I struggled to regain access to my accounts. Despite months of trying with my office’s technical support, I couldn’t resolve the issue. That’s when I discovered Santoshi Hackers Intelligence through their website, (SHI – US . COM) I reached out to them, explained my situation, and they guided me through the process of recovering my account. Not only did they help me regain access, but they also provided monitoring software that allowed me to track my partner’s activities in a distant relationship. Thanks to SHI’s trusted cyber recovery services, I was able to uncover the truth and make informed decisions. I highly recommend SHI for their professionalism and expertise in the cyberspace. You can find them on Google or visit (Santoshi Hackers Intelligence ) for reliable services.”

    talking about on the internet. You actually realize how to bring a problem to
