I’m with Angie and Christy. I used to be able to find clothing that fit reasonably well (I’m 5’l” and 103 lbs).

Now that the ridiculous vanity sizing is taking hold in many stores, the sizes I used to wear have just dropped off the scale. I used to wear a misses 2, but now most clothing in that size hangs on me! It’s actually sized for a person size 4 or 6. For the longest time I couldn’t figure it out, until I came across an article about vanity sizing. I thought “oh no, this isn’t good at all”. And I was right – now it’s nearly impossible to find business attire (or even basic clothing) that fits. I’ve spent a fortune having things tailored, and some of them simply cannot be altered to fit a petite frame correctly.

Like Angie said above – WHERE ARE THE SMALL WOMEN SUPPOSED TO SHOP AT NOW? So I’m forced to shop in the teen stores too (I’m almost 50 years old!). I feel terrible about my wardrobe and I’m totally disgusted with the manufacturers and merchant selections.

My mother shops in the children’s departments but I haven’t had much luck there. I’m a mature woman with a woman’s figure – not a 12 year old with a child’s figure and little-girl tastes.

I would love to walk into our mall again and buy an outfit that REALLY fits, then browse the shoe stores to get a matching pair of shoes. I haven’t been able to do that for at least 4 years.
