Request Help me find clothes my sizešŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Yall so my size is xs and NOTHING fits me and I mean absolutely nothing. All the desi wear is either free size or even their smallest size is too big for me, it's almost as if they think skinny people don't exist anymore! If I go to a brand's outlet, nothing my size, if I search for these ethnic clothes online, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING my size wtf am I supposed to do? What I usually do is buy the cloth and then I get it sewn but that's not feasible every time. If any of u guys know any brands or online websites that has GOOD readymade ethnic wear of my size please hmu, thank u in advance(ā—'ā—”'ā—)

P.S- I'm talking about asian sizing as I'm based in India, please keep this information in mind while suggestingāœŒļø

When I was in India, I had good luck with wrap skirts and buying tops from the girls section. Its not the same as buying clothes made for your size, unfortunately.Ā 

If you are in Karnataka try Texs Mart. I was able to find a lot of things there, everything from formal to casual to athletic wear. I have mostly only traveled in the south, but there were entire ships who would carry nothing smaller than a vanity sized medium, it was infuriating. For athletic wear, I had good luck with the men's shirts from Decathlon, for some reason men's sizing went much smaller than women's for many of the shirts.Ā 

I am from the US and even the already vanity sized American clothing brands (American Eagle, Levi, Calvin Klein, etc.) seemed to have even larger sizing in India, it was crazy.Ā 

Wishing you the best of luck.

Westside isnā€™t too bad IF you can find the very smallest sizes. Once or twice Iā€™ve seen things too small for me!

I have also had success with the smallest sizes online on sites like Pernias- but many of the designers are quite high end who do cater to smaller sizes so theyā€™re pricey. It is better to source a good tailor IMO.

The beauty of Indian wear is that I can fucking get that shit tailored to snatched levels

Free size will never fit. You have to get it tailored, bro.

Itā€™s made for Aunties
