- The main thing I want to do is make her feel confident
and make her feel like a baddie B.
- I'm a little worried that certain things
might not fit her.
- Oh my Gosh.
- Worst case scenario.
She blocks me on social media
and never wants to talk to me again.

Hi, I'm Jessica Torres.
And today I'm styling and sending a plus size style box
to my friend Emma.
- Hi, my name is Emma Tomsin Hill,
and today I'm gonna be styling
and sending a plus size style box to my friend Jessica.
- I think my personal fashion style sense is very eclectic.
It all just depends on my mood.
One day I look like a toddler.
The other day, I looked like a Y2K teen.
And then sometimes I just look like a sexy cowboy.
- My style, I will kind of say,
I like to label it as a mix of kind of tomboy
and grown and sexy.
I love to wear anything form fitting for my body.
I love to look sexy.
I love to look spicy, spicy,
and I just kind of wear whatever I want.
I love accessories.
- I feel like I didn't get to experiment
as a young teen girl
because I didn't really have the money
or the options available for my body.
Emma looks like the cool girl
I wanted to be when I was younger.
Her style is solid colors,
a casual, like, I didn't even think about this outfit,
but I look so cool look.
Because she lives in the UK,
I feel like her style definitely reflects that.
It's a little sporty.
It's kind of like city girl vibes.
- So Jessica's style,
I think she is a lot more playful than me.
Like she kind of dresses
and wears a lot of prints and colors.
Also a lot more dresses.
I am not so much very girly.
I am more so like if I'm gonna wear a dress,
it's gonna be tight to my body, feeling like a snack.
But I feel like Jessica's style,
like she can wear a lot more of these cute little dresses
and she really experiments with her style,
which I really admire.
- I really like her style,
but I don't think our styles are quite similar at all.
- I'm gonna have a little online shop
and think what would I wear and kind of put that on her.
I think Jessica is gonna look really good
in everything that I put her in.
I'm also worried like, will she like it?
- I don't really see her as a really femme dresser.
So I think I really want to dab into that
and make her wear something very feminine,
kind of like cottage core.
I feel like it would be really cool to her.
And I think it'll be a challenge to see like
how she reacts to it.
Best case scenario, she loves it
and she discovers a brand new branch
that she doesn't know about.
Worst-case scenario.
She blocks me on social media
and never wants to talk to me again. (laughs)
- Let's go shopping.
My first port of call is ASOS.
ASOS is always my favorite place to shop,
especially as a plus size woman,
because they have so many different brands on there.
And I know most of the time, if I get something from ASOS,
it's going to fit,
because a lot of these stores out here,
you buy something and you get it and it doesn't fit
and it's like oh my god.
It's just stress.
So I just want something
that I know is gonna fit Jessica right.
- I usually just shop from three different sites,
either my best friend Ungratefuls, ASOS,
or Wray is a brand that I recently discovered,
and I have not been able to stop wearing their clothes.
I think they're really, really cool.
I don't think I have seen her wear anything from Wray,
but I would love to see her in some fun prints.
I love that this site carries literally from a zero
all the way to a 26.
So it has a really great option of sizes.
- This dress is just so beautiful
and I know Jessica will look so good in it.
So I am definitely gonna get that.
I love the ties on the back,
like it's just so beautiful.
- This Sophia dress, I think looks really, really cool.
It doesn't feel like something she would wear,
at least something that I have seen on her Instagram.
So it's something that I want to see her try out.
And I think she will look stunning, really hot,
really cute and stylish.
- To go with that,
I also have these pink strappy heeled sandals,
which I feel like are gonna match really well,
and also this beautiful bag.
So I was like, wow, this is actually gorgeous.
I think it looks kind of silky.
And I know that it's like another print
and the dress is a print,
but I feel like they're gonna match really well together
because this is a bit more subdued,
and then it's the same kind of color palette.
- I want to style her completely.
So I'm gonna try and see if I can add a bag
and some shoes.
Okay, this one can be a really cool like soft touch
with the bag.
I like that there's gold in it
so that she can feel free to wear accessories,
maybe some gold hoops,
a necklace or something like that.
Okay, I feel like these shoes are it.
I feel like they will match the dress
and the bag really, really well
and make her feel really pretty.
- And I'm also gonna do some hoop earrings
because I love hoop earrings.
Also this necklace that I think is really cute.
It says goddess
and I thought that would be a nice little affirmation
for Jessica to wear.
And that's it.
- I'm actually really excited to see Emma try out
this new brand that I'm obsessed with.
I think she might like it
and hopefully it becomes the new brand
that she probably didn't know about before.
I feel like this is all about
like helping other plus size people
find shops that they might have not known about before.
Okay, I've purchase everything that I think
would look really good on her.
And now it's just time to wait for the boxes.
(playful music)
Oh my God.
It's been such a long time since I bought the things
for my new friend and she bought things for me,
but the boxes are finally here.
The packages were a bit delayed
because my packages got lost or stolen.
I don't know what happened.
- It was hard to ship out from America to England
and from England to America.
And some of the pieces that I picked out for Jessica
weren't available in America
and trying to convert the sizes
for each other was difficult.
So we had to like reorder them and all that stuff.
So it's been a long process.
- The things are thrown in here though
so we're gonna open them and see what she sent me.
- We have a full outfit here.
First of all, we have these shoes
and they look very, very, very cute.
So like they're white little sandals from Public Desire,
but they have this gold chain on it
and I'm so glad they're gold,
because I'm a sucker for gold jewelry, gold hardware.
It's all I wear.
- Okay, first thing I have here are some hoops and chains.
Oh my god, it says goddess.
I'm obsessed.
We have a pair of shoes here.
Oh wow.
These cute little pink heels.
- Oh, I like this a lot.
Now we have this little handbag.
This looks so adorable.
I love the color.
And it's like this little, like kind of baguette style.
- Okay, I have another ASOS package right here.
Oh my gosh.
I feel like she jumped into my brain was like,
what does she want to buy but is not getting for herself
'cause I will buy it.
And that's exactly what she got.
I've been eyeing this dress for the longest.
I'm absolutely here for this.
- Ooh, this looks absolutely beautiful.
So we have a dress.
Oh my gosh.
This is so pretty.
This looks like such a beautiful summer dress.
Like very dainty and girly.
And I think it's gonna go so well with the accessories.
I can't wait to try it on.
(playful music)
So this is the outfit
and I feel really cute.
This is not something that I would pick out for myself.
Like this is very girly and I don't really dress that girly.
If I'm gonna do girly, I do like sexy girly,
not cutesy, wholesome girly.
And this is cutesy, wholesome girly so
this is the dress.
It's a little off the shoulders.
I love the pattern of it.
Like the print and the little ruffle on the bottom.
- It's so freaking cute.
I feel like a little princess, like a little fairy.
I don't think I would be so kind as to buy this for myself
because I'd be like, where would I wear this?
But the fact that someone else sent it to me
and like thinks that I would look good
in something like this just like warms my heart,
especially because we're in a pandemic.
Like, that's fine, I can still enjoy it.
And like take some cute photos and post it on the 'Gram.
- I'm very happy about it. The bag, I absolutely love.
The shoes are very cute.
And I feel like she knew what she was doing
because they're lace up
and lace up shoes are a plus-size girl's best friend,
because you can just tie them to your desired length.
And they're actually very comfy
because they're not that high.
Wholesome is my vibes right now.
- I haven't worn heels in years.
I'm loving it.
I forgot how much I like wearing it.
I think this pink looks so good with the dress.
I picked up my hair 'cause I kind of wanted to show off
a little bit of skin since it's so poofy
and I have the accessories on.
I genuinely just want to wear this every day now.
It's so gorgeous.
I'm so excited about it.
I am so excited that I got to do this.
It felt like such an amazing opportunity.
I have lived my entire life in the US like,
I can only talk about my experience as a fat person
here in the US,
so I can't even imagine how hard it must be
in other countries where the fashion
is much less available than what I have here
and for them to still look so good, so amazing.
Just reminds me of how talented
and fashionable fat people are.
- I think this challenge went well overall,
considering that we had a few difficulties along the way.
Like sending things overseas is super difficult.
We don't always have the same choices
but we made it work.
And I definitely learned that I can try
like different types of dressing and more girly outfits.
- This was such a great experience.
And I really hope I get to do this again.
- Let us know in the comments who you think
that we should send a style box to next.
And also let us know down below
who wore your favorite outfit.
