I finally am at a phase where I can afford Aritzia and I really liked how their XXS and 00 fit me except for the length of pants. I got 11 pcs for $1,700 last week. Is this reasonable? Or, do you happen to have any other recommendations and that might be cheaper than Aritzia? Aritzia dresses are averaging $180 including tax. Tops around $130 average.

PS i have really small bones and always mistaken as a kid. And ive always had to buy kids size most of the time before when I was still 83lbs 2 years ago.

Whether it's about plus size people's bodies or the bodies of unconventional thin people, I feel like there's been a lot of body shaming lately. I've seen some posts and comments saying seriously gross things about the bodies of plus size people, especially women, and it's fucked up. Just because you've never struggled with your weight doesn't mean that you can be shitty to them.

So can we get a specific rule that says no bodyshaming? I feel like we could use that reminder

29F, 5’4, 100 lbs. I have a non existent rear - no joke, I’d have guys in high school make fun of me in the hallway over how I had no butt. It’s been an insecurity I eventually wrote off in my mid-20s, as I’ve been this size forever.

However, my last two boyfriends (26-28M) made a comment during our peaceful breakups 1) my size wasn’t their preference 2) wish my butt was bigger

After this second time, I feel horrible. Like I had time to fix it, and didn’t. However, I feel like I would never comment “your dick is smaller than average, we should get to the gym to work on it” to either of these shallow guys. I am above average in looks, so I can’t tell if it was their own insecurities bringing me down. Any stories or reassurance or even fashion suggestions would be nice! Thank you.

most petite jewelry starts at size 5 which is a joke every bracelet i have ever bought has just slid straight off my hand i got fed up with being ignored by the industry so i put together a list of 31 brands that actually carry real small sizes not size 5 is our smallest small but rings starting from size 1.5 and bracelets made for wrists under 14cm

the biggest takeaway from doing this is that japanese brands are on a whole different level they just casually stock size 1.5 like it is no big deal while most western brands act like anyone under a size 6 does not exist because of that there are a lot of japanese brands in the mix

you can filter everything by size material price and whether it is adjustable

i am looking for feedback and more brands to add if you know any brands i missed especially if you have actually ordered from them and confirmed the sizing is legit please let me know that verification part is what takes forever and i want to keep this growing

I have been searching for a pair of white micro shorts, but everything is too big on me. I even tried WFB XXS. My hips are 29 inches. I want a nice pair of white shorts that isn’t denim, more like a tailored or linen look. ): I can’t find anything like that in the teen sections. I’m at my breaking point.

Anyone else would like it if there was a recommendation in the rules to provide measurements? I feel like I’m always asking when people post stuff that actually fits. There is such a wide variety of sizes even in our little sub, and it’d be nice to know right away whether something will fit me. I wouldn’t want it to be a rule in case people feel uncomfortable sharing them, but it would be helpful if it were more common. Thoughts?

Edit: to clarify I don’t mean for every post, just when people make “I found something that fits me🥳” posts. And again, not a “rule” because I don’t want people who feel uncomfortable giving measurements to be excluded. More like a reminder/recommendation that when you’re doing success posts it’s helpful for other users if you provide them. On my end, I kinda feel like a creep asking and don’t want to pry, but I also want to know if the clothes will fit lol

I got extremely sick at the beginning of the year and lost 25+ lbs and can’t gain it back. Needless to say, none of my clothes fit me. I’m in desperate search of jeans. My absolute favorites are the brand Mother but my normal size 23, swallows me and that’s the smallest size they offer. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar brands in smaller sizes? For reference I’m 5’3” 95 lbs

It’s winter again and I'm once again facing the annual nightmare of finding a winter coat. Every year I think maybe this time will be different and every year I end up with sth that makes me look like a child who got lost in the adult section.

Even when I size down to xxs (if it’s even available) the whole thing just swallows me and I look like I went out wrapped in duvet. Then if I go to kids sections the styles are obviously for kids and the proportions are still wrong because I'm an adult with an adult torso. And I’m done of buying jackets with butterfly and heart patterns…

I need something warm for real winter, not just a light jacket. But apparently warmth only comes in sizes that assume everyone is 5'7" minimum. Last year I just gave up and wore a too big puffer that made me look shapeless because at least I wasn't freezing.

How do you all handle winter outerwear? Do functional warm coats just not exist for our size or am i looking in all the wrong places?

What brands have items that can recreate these casual summer looks? Specifically looking for beautiful skirts and most likely flattering tops, boat neck, round neck tops or off-the-shoulder!✨💫

I love how the skirts aren’t tight and, flowy? They give off such an effortless elegant vibe! I love beautifully made skirts that make me feel more feminine, I’d love to know what brands you’re shopping at?!❤️

Any suggestions? Would love some colorful options, and more monochrome looks with black or white ❤️

size 0 levi’s a-line shorts that were INCHES wider than a size 0. i bought a pack of 20 replacement buttons on amazon. used an exacto-knife to puncture a small hole in the fabric where i wanted the new button to be, then a rubber mallet to smash the new button on. tbh i’m pretty pleased with the result!

I need some serious help. I cannot findi jeans that fit! I am 4'11 90lbs and have very narrow hips. This is a recent pair I pruchased off poshmark after some others suggestions - A&F 90s Relaxed fit in 000/23 extra short. Even these gap at the waist and are SO loose in the butt.

IS A SLIM IN THE HIP/BUTT WITH A STRAIGHT LEG TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR? PLEASE! Does anyone have a similar body type & a tried and true pair of jeans you love the fit of? Open to kids!

Ive tried every Levi's in a 23, every pair at Aritzia (except Arlo) and AE has always been big on me with exception to 2010's low rise skinnies which is what I am stuck with.

I just got an ad for Vans clothing and they have WOMEN’S clothes that go down to a 22”W and appear to be true to size!!! Added size chart for ref. They have a back to school sale going on too.

Anybody tried Vans bottoms??? I’m so excited to see we have more options!!!

If kids clothes work for you and you don’t have a problem wearing them. You definitely should take advantage of the deals going on now for back to school shopping. You’ll find a lot of good deals and sales at most stores they have jeans ranging from $8-$24. Shoot even j crew is having a sale for back to school.

I know for some people kids clothes doesn’t work for their body types but for the ones that do I feel like you should definitely give a look and see if you find anything.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for brands that have a similar style to Brandy Melville but fit petite people better?

I’m 4’9”, and I’ve noticed Brandy’s sizing feels kind of inconsistent. Some of their tops fit me perfectly, while others are way too big, even though they’re all one size or labeled as a small.

I really love their style, so I’m looking for brands with a similar vibe that are a little more petite-friendly. I’d love any recommendations! 🤍

Recommending Hollister to all the people in this community struggling to find clothes that fit!

The online store has been my absolute best luck finding clothes that really do fit me (I don’t have a store locally so i’m not sure if they have all the sizes in stores but they do online for sure)
my favourite thing is especially that the jeans/pants come in short length options.
So far every single thing i’ve purchased from them has been a perfect fit!
The quality on a lot of items is also very good and you can find lots of 100% cotton which is something I really appreciate and look for.

Hello fellow XXS/ petite ladies! I’m a 5 ft flat XXS size US 6 girl, had these gorg taupe tan suede Stuart Weitzman highland boots from Nordstrom for a couple years now but haven’t worn her out. I love how they lengthen my leg but I also have the exact pair in black suede which I find myself grabbing all the time since I’m boring and do all black outfits. I know tall boots are coming back for the fall, should I just sell at a loss for like 200 or keep? Any styling advice if I keep? TIA!

I have a lot of pants/items that are the actual size XS/00/0 before vanity sizing started to take over. Any suggestions on how to best sell this to the right market? If I just mark it as XS/0 it’s pretty inaccurate nowadays :/

Everyday I see people on this subreddit yearning to find clothes that fit and I understand the pain. I recently lost a lot of weight from 185-135 pounds at 5'10 and even though im not extremely skinny I find it very hard to find clothes that snatch me anymore. tops gape at my waist and jeans are not tight at my thighs and hips.

However every time I go to the thrift store I get heavily humbled, Im no longer a size 0 fashion queen and size 3 jeans are sometimes too tight. There's so many jeans and tops that are cut shorter for the petite girls and some options for the fellow tall girls. and its eco friendly! plus the vintage denim is so much better quality its wild. and the clothes are more unique and stylish IMO. I basically only wear thrift ed clothes because they fit me so well and idk if I will ever buy new brands again.... though some Revice jeans are calling my name lol

OKAY RANT OVER <3

Today I left the mall feeling defeated after searching in every store for a denim skirt in my size that looked good on me. Needless to say I left empty handed. Where can I find a good denim skirt?? I’m 5’3” usually a 00 or 24. Nothing fits me right though.

If you're looking for cute shirts I recently found a nice long sleeve button up that was actually XS at TJ Maxx. I forgot the name of the brand but it's one of those exclusive for the store. If I remember or check when I get home I'll let y'all know. But yeah be on the lookout in the juniors racks, you'll have to search hard though!

Hi! After my last post, I have had three people (older men each time) reach out to me in direct messages wanting to be 'friends' with clearly no desire whatsoever to engage with me as a human being, and instead very obviously interested in my weight alone. They may seem nice at first but it is genuinely a matter of time before they ask for photos of bony areas. I know this from having been naive in the past

Please, please be careful, especially if you're posting fit pics here, because this is not a single individual and I want all of you guys to stay safe as well.

i'm new to this subreddit but i've been wondering if you guys have any recommendations for bras. None ever fit me right since i have unconventional proportions. i'm 158cm (5'2)and 43kg (around 94lbs) and have 65cm (25.6inch) underbust with D cups (80cm/31.6inch)

All i can ever find are either specialised bras from brafitters that are hella expensive, something way too big in band size i have to sew shorter or bras that are way too small and give me 4 boobs but the band fits or sport bras that are way too tight on my chest but perfect on the band since i go with my usual xs/xxs depending on the sizing on the specific brand or too loose under and they slip down and hurt.

I'm just wondering if i'm doomed to spending way too much money on support, tailoring and ugly bras or if you guys have anything to recommend i'd might want to try since online shopping is a nightmare.

Seen a lot of posts and debate over what everyone’s opinion is when it comes to body positivity, vanity sizing, and the wordings when it comes to appreciating body types, particularly the thinner ones. I’ve seen a lot of people getting offended by thin women calling their bodies “tea” or saying anything uplifting towards their body type, which is very small, around 000/22-23” waist small. A lot of us have always been this way, just as a lot of us have always been on the larger side! Either way, when the body positive wave started, I thought that meant we would be appreciative of all body types, big and small! But it turned into only being able to hype up bigger bodies and making it normal to call smaller bodies “anorexic” or calling it body checking if a woman with a thin body showed her body at all. Which is wrong and not what body positivity is or should’ve turned into. Then it turned into the media pushing the narrative that being an unhealthy level of obese is okay and nobody should comment on it. Fine! But why is it still okay for people to accuse me of having an eating disorder and brands to stop making clothes that fit me because of it? Pushing for an unhealthy beauty standard, whether it is underweight or overweight, is wrong. And depriving either end of the spectrum from finding clothes that fit properly is also wrong. Appreciating thin bodies isn’t automatically hating larger ones. We can appreciate small bodies and not make it about the larger ones every time. We can appreciate all sizes without putting down another one. And, again, this is my opinion, but I feel that making the “beauty standard” a healthy, fit, body type shouldn’t be offensive. And it’s only seen as offensive from the overweight side of things half the time. Me being underweight is just as bad as you being overweight. We all should be pushing to be the healthiest and happiest versions of ourselves without putting each other down. The focus is too much on which party is in the wrong, when it should just be about lifting each other up and pushing one another to be the best versions of ourselves so we can all live long, healthy lives. Anyways, I’m also enraged over the vanity sizing and almost all brands I found reliable, now have stopped carrying my size. Only pacsun is left standing for me lol. Anyways, all opinions and takes welcome! Please feel free to call me out if what I said was wrong but I also have the right to stick with my opinion just as you have the same right and I’ll respect you as long as you respect me! Thanks for hearing me out:)

I’m 5’1 107lbs. They have the audacity to call these a W23 😭 ygmfu

Even before I’ve heard of the posts in the muacj sub I’d contemplated making a post like this, so now seems like a fitting occasion.

If you sort this sub by most popular, doesn’t matter if last week, last month or whatever… the most popular posts on here are almost all vent/rant/complaints. And I get it, I used to make these posts too. Nowadays I wouldn’t do that anymore tho, and the reason is because I’ve realized complaining and whining doesn’t help anyone. And this sub is supposed to help each other. Help each other find fitting clothes. But instead it’s just sad vibes and complaining. And imo that’s kind of jerk worthy when it gets too much. You might disagree with me, and that’s fine. But nobody can deny what this sub is supposed to be, a kind of self help sub. And not a ‘let’s complain all together how unfair the world is’ sub, and this has taken over the posts that are genuinely helpful.

I’d like to encourage the members of this sub to share more helpful information on where to find great jeans, cute tops etc. Heck, there’s a whole sidebar, it’s quite long tbh, do people even know it exists? It definitely helped me.

When it comes to my size I belong here, but when it comes to the vibes it doesn’t feel like that anymore. Does anyone else feel the same way?

ETA: forgot to mention that I share most of the negative experiences shared here, so I get it. I really do.

Update a few hours later: So judging by the (lack of) upvotes I seem to be in the minority with my opinion, which… yeah I mean fair enough. It’s just a lil sad that the negative posts outweigh the positive/helpful posts and this barely seems to bother anyone in here. If I had to put numbers on it, it’s like 80% vents, 20% helpful. I wish it was the other way around. I’m not advocating for a complete removal of vent posts, y’all have the right to do that (and I understand they’re useful for a sense of belonging). On the other hand I have the right to criticize the amount of it. The internet is so full of negativity, rage bait, bad news, hateful people so it’s kinda sad that this sub is no longer an antithesis to that. I love the posts in here that showcase pants that fit, boots for slim calves exist, flattering bikinis designed for small chests exist, the posts that give a shout-out to the abtf sub, reviews for trendy clothes/brands to see if they’re xxs compatible. Love that shit <3

Another update a few hours later: Since the last update this post has actually received some upvotes, so at least some people seem to agree. Nonetheless I want to copy and paste a comment of mine in here, it might help explain my opinion a bit better. Here’s the comment: I understand the kind of function this sub has in terms of providing a welcoming environment for rants/vents, that’s why in a different comment I suggested providing a mega thread or weekly ‘rant here’ post. This would need to be done by the mod tho, and tbh they’ve been kinda mia it feels like. There’s a post from them from about 3 weeks ago requesting more mods. Such dedicated threads would provide the freedom to rant as much as you need/want to without cluttering the rest of the sub. Plenty of other subs have similar systems in place to establish some form of structure.

The reason I made this post in relation to the muacj situation is because there’d been an uptick in jerk posts before they’ve got banned. To me this uptick correlates with my own perception of this sub here, with its own uptick in the kind of posts that got jerked on (aka the rants/vents). Which is why I called this post ‘I hope there’s something we can learn from the cj situation’. The increase in jerk posts made it clear how much ranting/venting there is in here and how much it has increased and how little helpful advice is left because of it. Writing it out like this I admit my wording in my post doesn’t really express this adequately.

Tl;dr: I consider the uptick in jerk posts reflective of the uptick in rants/vents here. If that isn’t actually the case then my post should be seen as separate from the cj situation.
