I’m a size 18 and refuse to look like a stuffed sausage on holiday – I’ve found dream crop top, it’s so flattering
A PLUS-SIZED fashionista has revealed she’s found the dream crop top for her holidays – after fearing she’d look like a stuffed sausage.
Rachel Spicer, from Falkirk, regularly shares her clothing hauls and outfit choices with her 2.3 million followers on TikTok (@rachelspicer_).
In a recent clip, the 25-year-old picked up two plus-sized co-ords from ASOS for her sunshine break to Egypt.
Rachel, a size 18, said: “I go on holiday next week and I have gained a little bit of weight since I last went on holiday.
“So I had to buy new things cause I’m not going on holiday feeling like a stuffed sausage.”
And her pink and green geometric print crop top and maxi skirt co-ord, £61, was a big hit.
“I went out my comfort box and got a crop top”, she admitted.
“Who do I think I am? But I think I love this.
“I feel comfortable in this. It’s got an elasticated waistband. I like an elasticated waistband. Wow.”
Showing different ways to wear the top, Rachel added: “We could do a little off the shoulder or a square neck.
“[And] there’s pockets, there’s pockets. I love a pocket.
“Imagine this with white strappy sandals, you know, whoop.
“It’s also meant to be like 36 to 38 degrees when we’re out there.
“So I just need something floaty, comfy, I can breathe and I can move.
“I love the print as well. It’s like green and pink, my colours. Wow.
I quite like this.”
But her haul wasn’t a complete success as Rachel felt like she had a baby bump in a pink and orange tie-dye skirt and matching top.
“This one’s a no” she sighed.
“Love the print, love the colours but it does just emphasise the fact that I’ve gained weight and not lost weight for a holiday.
“Oh my God, I’m gonna go on holiday and feel nine months pregnant.
“I’m just feeling a bit uncomfy. I feel like it’s stuck to me. Like, I can’t. Ugh. No, I don’t like it.
“This one’s a return I think. Now get it off me.”
And social media users agree that it’s the first outfit that stole the show, with the clip racking up more than 272,000 views.
One gushed: “The first set looks GORGEOUS on you.”
A second wrote: “Love love love. Keep keep #1.”
Meanwhile, a third added: “Looks SO GOOD on you.”
Rachel rose to fame on TikTok by showing off her two “dancing” chins and aims to help boost her followers’ self-confidence.
She’s spoken openly in the past about struggling with body confidence but now inspires fans to accept their body shape.
