I was overwhelmed by the amazing response to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/uk-trends-with-gemma-cartwright-of-big-girls-browse-7179/">my recent guest curator post on Etsy</a>. Before listing my picks from the site, the team very kindly let me wax lyrical about Big Girls Browse and why I started it, and it was lovely to see some of the reactions from the Etsy community.
<br /><br />
One comment in particular really stood out to me. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/niftyknits">Niftyknits</a> said <em><strong>"I've been trying to pretend I'm still a UK14, not 16...but this gives me the courage to say heck - I'm a 16!!!"</strong></em>
<br /><br />
I was so touched when I read that, because it sums up the exact reason I started this site. We live in a world where there's so much stigma attached to a stupid number printed on a clothes label, and there shouldn't be! Your dress size does not define who you are.]]></description>
