Aldi collection: Curvy model Angelina Kirsch receives criticism on Instagram
At the launch of the clothing line designed for curvy women, Kirsch posted a photo of herself in a bikini, which, according to the presenter, is her favorite part of the collection available from Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd *. However, critical comments piled up under the post.
“Actually I thought that nothing would fit me with size 40/42. I took the red jeans in 44 with me and found that it was TOO SMALL, ”wrote one user, whose comment received over 60 likes. “If you need a 46 in your collection at 40/42, what does a real 46 need? It is actually at 50 and that definitely doesn't make you feel good! It's a shame, ”she breathed out of her anger.

Another customer also complained about the cuts: “Unfortunately, I have to say that the jeans, in red and light blue, were much too small. The t-shirts too short and the striped blouse in the shoulders too wide and the bottom too tight. ”

A few days later, Kirsch came forward and regretted that, according to customers, parts of her collection did not fit. “Unfortunately, the fit theme came about because we had to stick to a specific size chart for Aldi. This table called "Size Germany" is maintained by the Hohenstein Institute and specifies the dimensions. However, I cannot explain how these discrepancies, especially in the pants and jeans, could occur, ”she wrote apologetically on Instagram.

#beautybeyondsize #rockyourcurves Beauty is not a size! And yet we cannot do without clothing sizes. You know that these numbers are always in the background for me because my attitude towards life is much more important to me. But I also realize that some of you were very irritated last week when you shop and tried my collection for Aldi. A lot of messages have reached me and of course I would like to comment: The fit topic unfortunately came about because we had to stick to a specific size chart for Aldi. This table called "Size Germany" is maintained by the Hohenstein Institute and specifies the dimensions. However, I cannot explain how these discrepancies could arise, especially in the pants and jeans. I can only tell you that I am extremely sorry that some of you have had this experience. I understand you% and I am just as disappointed as you! My learning from this is that in the future I will do without such official tables and will listen to my gut feeling. The good news is: there will soon be something new and wonderful for you, which I am really looking forward to and which will definitely make up for a lot because I love you women with curves and I wish that I can continue to support you love your curves!

After Kirsch's statement were followers again somewhat mollified . "Greatly written, I have a lot of great parts from the Aldi collection and I don't take the sizes so seriously, but it is strange when you wear the red jeans in size instead of size 46/48. 52 must take, ”wrote a woman. "Phew, well ... I thought we were the only ones where nothing was right," wrote one user, relieved.
