It turns out that even when you are the
crazy Blake Lively
you can suffer from insecurity and a feeling that you do not find your place in what the fashion world has to offer.
The 33-year-old actress posted pictures from the past last weekend in her story, and alongside them she shared an unpleasant experience she went through after giving birth: difficulty in finding clothes that would suit the changes the body went through.
Although it has been a year since her third daughter, Betty, was born, it seems that the frustrating experience is still etched in her memory, until she decided to flood things.
The difficulty of finding clothes that fit and flatter us occurs on a daily basis with quite a few women.
A large proportion of them are women who do not match the old beauty ideal.
Within the same norms of an old beauty ideal, brands often produce clothing in small sizes, ignoring the requirement for a wide range of sizes, including the plus size category.
Of course the experience of difficulty in finding clothes is not just the domain of women in large sizes, but occurs for each one in every size, shape and style.

For Lively it is a slightly different experience.
The actress who used to be the object of envy of women around the globe and often provided coveted looks in an impressive figure - suddenly had to deal with reality.
She gave birth to her third daughter, her body changed naturally - and she had a hard time finding in stores and among dressers clothes that would fit the new proportions.
She talks about feelings of frustration due to the difficulty of finding something that will meet her expectations and make her feel beautiful and in style, despite the change her body has undergone.
Lively uploaded a photo of herself from Jimmy Fallon's talk show and wrote: "I combined a Lennon shirt and a Ment a - Forte dress to put together this beautiful look. No one had clothes that would fit my body after my birth. So many clothes from stores not Match me. "
She continued: "It is not a good message for women when their body does not match the clothes that brands have to offer. It is distant and confusing. I wish I would feel confident then as I feel today, a year later in retrospect. This body gave me a baby and produced all the food the baby needed "What a beautiful miracle. But instead of feeling proud - I felt insecure. Simply because I did not get into clothes. How stupid it is in retrospect."

The final part of the story, Lively dedicated to a well-known fashionista plus size - Katie Storino - to compliment her on her work.
Storino, who has an Instagram account with more than half a million followers, often shares her looks, many of which are exactly the same as those of skinny style anchors like Kate Middleton, Katie Holmes, Zoe Kravitz and more.
In Lively's story she also sought to spur brands to adapt to a variety of body types and sizes.
"Katie Storino and others challenge brands to be better and help women not feel alone. She makes a meaningful process. She reminds me that we all need to demand more from the brands we love."
