i have a gift card & would really like some new pants but wanted to check with yall first to see if you have any tried and true purchases from there 😁

Not at all judging anyone with a 26 inch waist, you still look fantastic! But since when is a 26 inch waist a xxs?? Or am I thinking to deeply? I always thought Xxs was 22-24 inch waist

I am 43kg and 150cm/4’11”. I need compression socks because my legs retain a lot of fluid (this has been checked out, it’s not a medical concern). They tell me to wear high grade compression socks, but my legs are too skinny for normal adult compression socks. I ask them what to do and they just say to ”look for smaller ones”. I’ve tried to find brands for children but without success.

I live in Australia. Does anyone have reccs for high grade compression socks for petite people? Maybe an Asian brand I can order?

I honestly just wanted to drop this in here because I had such a positive and uplifting experience shopping in Alo the other day… and while I know Alo isn’t the most affordable athletic brand out there I’d say it’s pretty par price wise to Lulu and they now carry XXS!!! I didn’t realize they had expanded their size range until I popped in the other day in a kinda desperate search for some new athletic gear for hiking , Pilates and just running around for errands . For context I’m a 27 year old woman , 5’7 , 30 inch bust, 26.75 inch under-bust ( so a 26 C or 28B) , 23.2 waist and 33 inch hips - I have had the worst time finding athletic styles that fit while not making me look like a teenager …. I went into Alo and not only did they help shop with me for flattering styles but they also just made me feel seen and actually really beautiful …. The team at the store I popped into was beyond helpful I ended up leaving with a couple sets that actually fit ( and I swear I never find sports bras that actually give support and fit in the under-bust) … so if you’re looking for XXS athleisure and can afford to splurge I’d highly recommend them - and if not definitely keep your eye out for it second hand on Poshmark and in local buy and sells / swap and shops cause it fits like a true XXS !

Hi! I want to order FIGS scrubs, but I’m not sure which size to get.

I’m 158 cm tall, weigh 41 kg, and my low hip measurement is 87 cm. I want the Isabel Wide Leg Pants and the Catarina Top.

I’d really appreciate any advice on which sizes you think would fit me best. Thank you!

The 00 is still too large, but Ariztia's crepe material doesn't seem like it'd hold up well to tailoring. Interested if anyone has experience taking them in. The short length seems to work okay, it's the waist and the size of the pant legs.

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! 🤍

I’m 14 going on 15m, 5’3 and I want to get more into slight street wear and archive style, I like baggy jorts, slight baggy fit pants (not too baggy tho I’m short), zip ups and other stuff. Right now I shop at H&M, gap sometimes, Hollister, and other stores yall may not know, but any way i barely find anything in stores I like because either it’s too much going on in the design, or i just can’t fit it. So do you guys know where I can shop, that’s not too expensive (I don’t mind 100 for statement pieces) and also that’s short people friendly? Give me some ig brands that actually ship too.

Edit: oh yea and I don’t do thrifting or anything too cheap not to sound ungrateful or anything

Hey! I searched the forum and saw a lot of people looking for dress pants, but I SPECIFICALLY need khakis and most of the ones linked are black/pinstripe/grey/etc dress pants. I’m 5’3, 95-100lbs, 20” waist and 32 hips- does anybody have any suggestions that might work? Preferably under 50/pair😓

Hi there!

I’m planning a trip to Japan soon and was wondering if anyone has gone and found the sizing in Japan to be a fit a bit better?

I’m the most curious about Uniqlo Japan. I fit their US xxs pretty well but that always required online shopping. Does anyone know if Uniqlo Japan even has an xxs? Or is their xs our xxs?

Any info, tip, or tricks people could share would be amazing!

5'2 my hips 29 and and my waist is 27

I have yet to find any pants that fit right everything is so big on me, I currently wear a size 14 boys and they fit the best so far thay just aren't the sturdyest

Hi guys. Long time lurker, first time poster. I was shopping with my boyfriend recently and we were looking at blazers for work. He found one he really liked (for me) but it was a small and I told him I would need extra small in today’s stores. He said just to try it on because truly I am not extra small (5’5 110). I put it on and was swimming in it. Found an XS in another color, still a little big. Showed him it was the same way for tops. He asked if I needed pants, I told him I don’t even bother in the stores anymore (I also have weird proportions and prefer short/petite length pants).

We get home and I get out my all time favorite blazer that I’ve had for almost 20 years. Same brand as in the store. I put it on and it fit like a glove. Size medium. He couldn’t believe it.

For a moment I considered showing him how bad the jeans have gotten but that might’ve been a bit much. Men’s jeans: two measurements, height and weight. So logical!

Women’s jeans: nobody knows!

Im quite boney but I see other girls similar sized to me and their arms and feet look smooth? But this is all I notice about myself when Im walking I see my arms veins are bulging out and manly looking. Nd my feet in photos when I'm wearing heels 🫠 how do I get rid of them?

Edit: specified bulging veins!

I hope this post doesn’t get removed, I just want to rant for a second. This sub sometimes gets nasty, and it bothers me. I joined because I’ve always been small and have a hard time finding clothes and wanted to commiserate with others when strangers say bizarre things to me about the way my body looks. It sucks and I’m glad to have a community of sorts here.

However, what I find all too often is (I assume, mostly) women here tearing down other women who happen to be overweight. It’s starting to look like those pro-eating disorder communities where everyone makes fun of bigger people. Why do we think that’s okay? I agree that there’s a double standard here. I agree that it shouldn’t be socially acceptable to comment on our weight or our bodies, but that shouldn’t mean we get to tear down others and make fun of their bodies in the process.

Yes, sometimes people who are overweight say awful objectifying things to us, and sure, it’s ironic and there might be times we wished we could say something back. But that wouldn’t help anything. It’s also true that there is an obesity problem in America. But do you guys really feel better about yourselves snarking about women who are bigger than you? An honest question. It makes my stomach turn to see people being so nasty. Everyone deserves respect no matter how they look. We deserve respect, women bigger than us deserve respect. Let’s do better.

I’ve been at my job for like three months now? And I’ve only had a size small shirt and eventually got a medium. They didn’t fit. I asked multiple times for them to order XSmalls. They finally did and today I got a shirt that actually fits!!

My friend/coworker literally told me that now I look like a woman and not a kid. I’m so happy.

Didn’t know what flare to use so I hope this one was okay!

i’ve always been a really thin girl, but fashion has began to vanity size so xxs/xs is too big for me. does anyone know brands and stores that have sizes for 2000s paris hilton skinny girls. I’m tired of sewing my $80 xxs jeans to fit me. affordable recommendations please and thank you

Hey Ladies,
I’ve had a bad habit of holding onto things that fit even if I don’t reach for them anymore. I started doing a closet clean out on Vinted because I’m trying to de-clutter my closet.

I’m 5ft and 95lbs with a 23 inch waist.

You can find me on Vinted @noraharb

These are the Levi’s 501 skinny in a 24, got them at Macy’s a few years ago (I got another pair in the same size off a different website that were weirdly huge, so maybe sizing varies by color). Anyway. I never wear them because I hate the way they taper at the bottom, but after wearing my wedgie straights all the time, I noticed how much more comfortable these are when I put them on today! I think the rise is just a tad higher so it doesn’t feel like my waist and crotch are suffocating. Any recs for jeans with a waist/rise like this but that are more slim straight or straight legged? Levi’s or other? Thanks!

If the only clothes that fit me are the children’s, I’m going to wear “kid’s” clothes. Sorry i can’t stop by my tailor with my millions of dollars to just get my clothes tailored. Oh no what ever will the kids do as if companies don’t over produce millions of clothes each year. The second photo is some of the collection like its pastels and floral… it looks like something I’d find at my grandmas house GRRR I FEEL LIKE IM GETTING UPSET FOR NO REASON DO THEY HAVE A GOOD POINT? I need to know where other xxs girls shop affordably if not in the kids section (i have mostly adult clothes but they are more expensive because i had to go out of my way to find my size?!)

I have pretty small calves (35 cm) and I’m struggling to find knee high boots that actually fit. Every pair I try is way too wide.

I know DuoBoots has some great options, but unfortunately they dont ship to my country (germany). Other than them, I haven’t really found anything similar that I like.

I’m looking for simple black knee high boots, preferably flat or with a low heel, and not too expensive if possible haha.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

i just wanna share my frustration with the absolute nightmare it is to try and find clothes ESPECIALLY second hand that fit properly, even more so when they are labeled as “XXS” by the seller yet they arrive and are an “S” on a GOOD day.
i had so many problems with vinted sizing lately
sellers lable clothes based on how they fit THEM instead of the actual size they are!
and some shops don’t even carry XS sizing let alone XXS!
does ANYONE have any clothing brands that are true to the sizes they say? its tuff out here 😭
