Is my body meant for fast fashion?

In the last year, I received a substantial salary increase and told myself that I’m going to be more mindful of what I purchase and avoid fast fashion. But it is SO hard to shop - I have a larger chest, tapered waist, rounder stomach, etc. and I feel like most ‘quality’ or ‘sustainable’ clothing is meant for women with small chests. I’ve shopped from so many sustainable brands and I have to size up 2-3 sizes just for a top or sweater to fit my chest, but then it’s loose and baggy everywhere else. Sure I could tailor everything, but that gets expensive too.

But when I order from commense or H&M and some Zara, it fits. It fits the first time and in my normal size. I don’t have to play a mental game of taking it to the tailor, my clothes still last me at least a few years, and I psychologically feel better knowing I can fit into normal clothing.

Does anyone else feel like this? Any brands that cater to a larger cup size in a smaller frame?
