5 /5 Wilma Barthelemy: I am a wearable art designer as well, and I admire Marla’s work whenever I’m lucky enough to see it. I’m happy that most of my clients are grown-ups and appreciate the work that goes into my garments, rather than demanding to try on something obviously too small, and possibly ruining it. It’s not fat or body shaming to try to protect one’s work and find a size that would fit a person. Independent artists work hard and deserve support and respect.
