Here we go again.

Boohoo is being hounded for allegedly using "padding" to make slim models look plus-sized. A bunch of Boohoo shoppers are fuming with the UK-based fashion brand, claiming the models that they use are too small to even be labelled as plus-size. They also complained that the use of slimmer models doesn't reflect how the clothes will actually look on plus-sized people.

Now you might remember that Boohoo caught some heat earlier this year for allegedly Photoshopping a model's waist. Meanwhile, their "inclusive" #All Girls campaign in 2017 was dragged because it didn't include any plus size, disabled, older or trans women models. Whew, they still can't get it together.

Boohoo – whose plus size range coves sizes 16 - 24 – haven't learnt, with one particularly disgruntled customer suggesting the brand may have used "butt/hip pads" on a model to give her curves. Surely casting an actual plus-size model isn't that hard?!

People didn't understand how some of the models could even be called plus-size.

Someone even thought there was dodgy Photoshopping going on.

Popbuzz has contacted Boohoo for comment.
