Of course vanity sizing is out of control! But I also feel that the reason I (and I assume others) are struggling to find clothes that fit is that the styles that brands are currently offering are just not flattering for petite frames. Everything is "relaxed fit," intended to fit baggy, has drawstring waists, shapeless legs, or fits like a sack. Even the patterns are too big for my frame.

I feel that fashion that looks good on me peaked in the mid-to-late 90s, when very minimalist, clean lines were in, and showing ankles in terms of pant length (which usually hit me like a normal person's pant length LOL).

I LIKE clothes that fit snugly around the waist and hips, and above all I hate the "I can't wear these jeans on a rainy day because they drag on the floor" look. I don't want my jeans to fit like sweatpants! I don't want boxy t-shirts but rather t-shirts that fit my waist (I'm not a fan of crop tops either).

it’s so hard finding trousers which actually fit, for reference, i have a pair of 00 hollister shorts and need to belt them. maybe it’s just those one shorts but now im scared to buy hollister 00 just to have to go through the hassle of returning them.

is there anywhere except for kids sections where i can buy fitting clothes?? ive heard japanese brands tend to cater to smaller bodies but i dont know any, so if anyone has any advice please lmk!!

DAE have this issue? I’m not sure where to go for clothing that is both XS/XXS and has a curvy fit. I am a 30DD but I’m only 4’11” and 100lbs. The rest of my body is not super curvy, my hips, butt, and thighs always have felt decently proportional. I just feel like an AirPod or uppercase P shaped and clothes just feel like a tent unless it’s incredibly tight, but then I just feel like my breasts are the main attraction lol.

Not to mention, anything that does fit an xs is made for the IBTC and while I would love to join you guys, I struggle so bad because EVERYTHING has to be worn with a bra when it clearly wasn’t meant to be. I dance ballet and most leos are not made for anyone with a chest, there’s just no support. Unfortunately the rest of my classmates and even teacher and studio staff are all tiny chested, so there’s no help there either. Camis, low cut tops, or lightweight summer tops all need a bra :/

I’m just not incredibly perky or lifted on my own, and I really just want to get a reduction because everything feels like a battle with my bust.

Any tips or suggestions would be really helpful!

Hello!!! Where i live, it is currently summer

Which means, its rainy season (╥﹏╥)

Even if it isnt pouring and thundering, theres still usually some light rain going on outside. And my crappy umbrella can only handle so much !!

Because of this im in desperate need of a rain jacket that isnt a ugly color or horribly ill fitting that also will prevent me from getting drenched whenever I go outside

Any recommendations? 🥹

People see if a skinny person have a big plate once and assume it means they defy the laws of physics. I can’t wrap my head around the fact I can hear « you don’t eat enough » and, basically, « you eat too much » from different friends depending on the time of day.
I’m thinking of not eating outside anymore. The next time some b**** says she could never finish « that »she’ll be talking about 1L of diet coke or not talking at all

I’m angling for my first six figure jobs so I need a real pant/skirt suit for interviews. everything in my size is permanently out of stock, ridiculous (neon orange shorts and a tube top is not going to work), or is actually a 27” waist for a 00. Or is $800+ for the set.

Do regular, XXS, navy or grey (just boring interview safe colors) suits still exist for women below $500? I would love to stay below $250 but I fear that’s a tall order. I won’t even be wearing it day to day, just for interviews…

does anyone know any good brands for shirts or types of shirts to where i can wear a top and not have it immediately suction itself to my waist. i have broader shoulders and anytime i want to wear something that “hides my body” my shirts still give me an hourglass. men’s shirts tend to be toooo broad in the shoulders even for me, but i want to not look weird or feminine in a more androgynous style, without swimming in my clothes or wearing oversized sweaters all the time 😭 im not insecure! i just don’t want to look like a flatter jessica rabbit all the time. or is this just the perils of having a tea body.

Im a runner, im petite, im not even thin by running standards and dont look very thin physically. I have lipedema from a surgery so my stomach is always “fat,” but the “rest of me” is fit. I am 5 or so feet tall. I don’t gain muscle easily because of my thyroid issues that caused the surgery. (But do not try to tell the body positive people that, because apparently body positivity is reserved for tall and big people like the Plus Sized Park Hoppers and no one else).

EVERY time someone big wants to mess with me, when I’m minding my own business, on a run, in a comment section talking about something completely irrelevant, they comment on how small I am and threaten to exert physical power over me. Especially tall women with mild muscle (most of which is fat that is just shaped to mild muscle actually). These are not fit people. They were just born bigger. And so they are usually bullies with extreme internalized misogyny because a lot of women are insecure about largeness and transfer the anger to small women.

I am SO TIRED of pretending bullying a woman (or AFAB person) for being small is anything but misogyny. It’s the antithesis of the body positivity they screech about. And again, I have a disease thay makes my stomach big. That is not the point. The point is they hate people who actually perform health rituals AND happen to be small. The insecurity combo of you being athletic and small makes them project this image of hate onto you for just existing small. They want to make you feel bad so the only way they can is threatening you physically and calling you small or weak. I see them as no different than catcalling men. They hate small women’s bodies. They hate small women who TRY despite their size. They hate women who don’t hate themselves for things they CANT change. The crime of being small.

no minidresses fit as minidresses should!!
I am 4'10 and most dresses come up to my knees when I want them to be mid-thigh or higher. I am quite blessed hip-wise too which sucks 🫠🫠
Is there any petite brand that makes nice mini dresses? I don't mind the price!

I want to go on dates with my girlfriend and look sexy and cute, not as if I’ve just stepped out of a bad Victorian drama where my ankles only show..
