The retailer has also been criticised over the models it uses for its plus-size clothing.
A photo of a model wearing a bodysuit from Boohoo's 'plus' range was shared online and provoked an angry reaction.
Twitter users claimed that using relatively slim women to model plus-size clothing gives girls a complex.
Madness how this model has been used as a ‘plus’ size model ? No wonder girls have such body insecurities if this is in anyway considered plus!!! @boohoo ?? pic.twitter.com/d84Ec7mmQF

PLUS SIZE????? @boohoo it is disgusting and damaging that you would consider this “plus size” this is literally why women struggle with body confidence, because we have huge companies like this advertising this beautiful woman as “plus” ??♀️ pic.twitter.com/VrIlBRImjF
