'A brutally honest review': Two women with different body shapes try on the same outfits from an inclusive brand to show how they REALLY look on a size 8 and 16
- American girls Sierra Schultzzie and Lisa Schwartz tried on clothes from Showpo
- The Australian brand often shares photos of their clothes on all body shapes
- Ladies modelled jeans and a top, a bodysuit and a summery dress on YouTube
- There were some major winning pieces, while others didn't fit very well on either
Two women - one curvy and one petite - have put a body positive fashion retailer to the test and modelled four outfits to assess the fit, colours and fabrics of each.
American YouTubers Sierra Schultzzie, a size 16, and Lisa Schwartz, a size 8, decided to try on clothing from Australian brand Showpo and see whether the jeans, dresses and jumpsuits suit both of their body types.
The result was a video showcasing a mix of off-the-shoulder looks and buttoned up summer frocks, as well as acid wash denim and a see-through floral crop top.

To start with Sierra, 23, purchased the Nellie jeans in blue for $76 and paired it with the Crack Of Dawn top in green floral for $61.
'The jeans have a long crotch and loose waist,' Sierra commented after trying the two items on together. 'There is nothing special, there are a lot of issues and they're not flattering.'
Meanwhile her friend Lisa, 35, agreed, saying the jeans 'flattened her bottom' and had 'too much going on' with the rips, buttons and frayed ends.
'This might look good on someone else,' she commented.

But the mid-length top was a huge success and both ladies said it was well-made and hugged their figure really well.
It would have got a 10/10 had it not been as sheer as it was.
The next outfit was the Toughen Up bodysuit in white for $50 and the No Heartache skirt in beige suedette for $61 pieced together.
Sierra said the bodysuit was very 'Rachel Green from Friends' and the material was soft to the touch.
However they had gone up a size in the skirt based on reviews that said it 'ran small', when in fact it swamped both hers and Lisa's figures when they tried it on.
'I feel like you could wear mine and it would fit,' Lisa told Sierra in the video.
They weren't a big fan of these jeans, which both said flattened their derrière

For Lisa it was almost a perfect fit and she wore it with ease but Sierra was left disappointed with the sizing which ran too large on her shoulders and waist.
'The pants are actually the right length but everything is a little bit big on me,' she said.
'There is so much fabric. And when you're short... more fabric is not good,' Lisa added.

Their final reveal involved the Cooling It dress in white floral, which was $76, and turned out to be Sierra's favourite of the day

'I feel like this is the perfect size for me. It's expensive but it's worth it. I'm going to give it a 10/10,' she said.
But on Lisa the v-neck hung very low and revealed much of her bra underneath, so she had to detract points for the sizing.
Overall the ladies were very impressed by the clothes and reasoned that all online boutiques were difficult to judge sizing.
Sierra and Lisa both loved Showpo's approach to giving women of all sizes a variety of fun outfits to choose from.
