The 'Orange Is the New Black' star opens up about the struggles of finding stylish clothing while pregnant and why it's one space in fashion"where women weren't being paid attention to."actress Danielle Brooks took to Instagram to sing about the struggles of finding maternity clothes, after she revealed in July that she is expecting her first child.
Brooks explains that when she was shopping for maternity wear, sizing up affected all areas of the body, making it difficult to find flattering styles. "For some women, the only thing that is changing is their belly. It's not their thighs and it's not their arms," Brooks tells. "I was finding that my clothes are just looking baggy and not looking fit for me."
The difficulties in finding the right fit mirrored other experiences that Brooks had while looking for size-inclusive brands to wear on the red carpet. "As a consumer, it feels like people in this industry are acting as if they hear you as a consumer, but they really don't. They act as if they're listening to what we want, and I don't really feel like they 100 percent do," Brooks says of some fashion designers and brands.
