The fashion enthusiast, from New York, USA, even has her own ”dream plus size store” called More BKLYNwhere she regularly releases select pre-loved and vintage clothing in sizes OX to 6X.

The brand’s Instagram account has amassed more than 40,000 fans, with the stylish Alexis occasionally modeling some of the pieces on camera.

However, one such clip recently took the internet by storm for all the wrong reasons after a fellow creator, Gabby Mariahad republished the video on his page.

In the filmingwhich has since been viewed over 1.4 million times in just a few days, plus-size Alexis could be seen proudly flaunting her curves in a skin-tight red dress.

The stunning brunette paired the mini dress with cut-out details on the side with gold shoes, as well as accessories and a beautiful scrunchie.

But although the fashionista looked amazing, feeling better and more confident, Alexis said she received rude comments from the public about her fit.

According to the style lover, some people have said they can see her “belly in this” – and to that Alexis had a brilliant response to the nasty trolls.

”AND?? Your body does not exist to be hidden,” she wrote in the post.

”We encourage you to wear clothes you love and embrace all the fabulous parts that make you YOU.

“The Positive Belly Movement is here”, added the beauty in the caption.

But despite the positive message, the New Yorker, who claims to be “promoting obesity” on the Internet, was met with harsh comments, while trolls rushed to attack her.

Many, for example, thought that, although celebrating all bodies was an obligation, the plus-size fashionista was also “unhealthy” in their eyes.

”Body positivity yes… but it is extremely harmful to your health and should not be normalized.”

Another agreed, adding: “Just a friendly reminder that while body positivity is a must, it’s also important to remember that exceeding certain body fat percentages or weights can be clinically unhealthy and unsafe for people, and while we shouldn’t demonize him, we should also not glorify him.
