Eilish's Struggles with Body Image
In other news, Eilish had earlier revealed that she began developing problems with her body image when she was just 10-years-old. The singer, known for her penchant for baggy clothes, explained that she opted for the loose-fitting garments as a way to feel more comfortable after growing unhappy with her shape at a young age. She struggled to fit into clothes from her favourite brand, Brandy Melville, which famously only produces garments in one size.
Eilish shared her experiences with Complex magazine, stating, What's really interesting is that when I was a little girl, I loved big dresses. All I wore was fairy dresses and skirts. I never wore pants or shorts when I was a little kid. But when I got to be about 11, I got obsessed with this brand called Brandy Melville. And they only sold clothes in one size."
She further explained that her obsession with the brand and the fact that she couldn't fit into their clothes led to the start of her body image issues. Eilish, who developed early, was not slim and was also involved in ballet, a field known for its own set of body image issues.
