Boohoo，一家位于英国的流行时尚零售商 – 认为ASOS，但价格便宜 – 被客户指责使用纤细的模特来塑造其大码服装系列，以及利用“减肥税”来收取更多的钱适用于较大尺寸。
据雅虎风格报道，苏格兰的一位Twitter用户在浏览Boohoo的在线加尺寸部分时发现一个模型相当薄，无法对加大码的比基尼进行建模。有问题的白色和粉红色比基尼向Twitter用户看，好像它是由尺寸小得多的人建模的。 “其他任何人都认为这是’加上尺寸’模特的’加大码’比基尼？”？难怪女孩们认为她们“胖”，“愤怒的推文读起来。
前一天，浏览Boohoo网站的另一位Twitter用户注意到，同样的型号 – 被称为“英国尺寸6” – 正在为更大尺寸的物品建模，这次是系腰式连身裤。考虑到Boohoo的加号尺寸范围从12尺寸开始到24尺寸，包含六号尺寸的模型非常奇怪。 “所以@boohoo ……这是一个错字还是你真的有一个尺寸SIX建模你的加号范围??��”推文读。 （对该网站的浏览确实显示了穿着一系列其他服装的相同模型，有时尺寸最大为16）。

为了给火灾添加更多燃料，雅虎风格还报告说，身体积极的运动Free to Be OK With Me指责Boohoo向其大尺寸商品的客户收取“减税”。在一系列推文截图中，该活动指出，该零售商似乎还为其主要系列中的某些加号尺寸的产品额外收取5美元。 “使用非加号模型来代表加号线条可以促进身体变形，特别是当[Boohoo]的目标市场主要是年轻女性易受伤害并且易于营销时，”Free to Be OK发言人Jen Eastwood向雅虎解释道。

Boohoo尚未对这些指控公开发表评论（引诱 尽管如此，令人遗憾的是，这并不是今年夏天首次避开超大尺寸车型的零售商。就在本月早些时候，人们发现流行的运动品牌Athleta并没有在其在线大码服装部分使用加大码模特。该公司很快道歉，发誓将来“做得更好”。

一个加上大小的模特如何爱她的身体：
Boohoo, a popular fashion retailer based in the UK, has been accused by customers of using thin models to showcase its plus-size clothing range and charging a “fat tax” for larger sizes. According to Yahoo Style, a Twitter user in Scotland discovered a model who was too thin to model a plus-size bikini in Boohoos online plus-size section. The white and pink bikini in question appeared to be modeled by someone much smaller in size. “Does anyone else think its weird that this plus size bikini model is a size small?” read an angry tweet. Another Twitter user browsing the Boohoo website noticed the same model – referred to as a “UK size 6” – modeling items for larger sizes, this time a belted jumpsuit. Considering Boohoos plus-size range starts at size 12 and goes up to size 24, it is very strange to have a model who wears a size six. “So @boohoo… is this a typo or do you really have a size SIX modeling your plus range??” read the tweet. (A browse of the website does indeed show the same model wearing a range of other clothing, sometimes in sizes up to 16.) To add fuel to the fire, Yahoo Style also reports that body-positive movement Free to Be OK With Me has accused Boohoo of charging a “fat tax” to its customers for its larger size items. In a series of screenshots of tweets, the campaign points out that the retailer appears to be charging an extra $5 for some of its plus-size products in its main range. “Using non-plus models to represent plus-size lines can promote body dysmorphia, especially when [Boohoos] target market is young women who are vulnerable and easily influenced by marketing,” Free to Be OK spokesperson Jen Eastwood explained to Yahoo. Boohoo has yet to comment publicly on these accusations (tempting though it may be). Unfortunately, this is not the first time this summer that a retailer has been caught out for avoiding plus-size models. Earlier this month, it was discovered that popular sportswear brand Athleta was not using plus-size models in its online plus-size clothing section. The company quickly apologized, promising to “do better” in the future.
