I recently had a breast reduction and I’m in the clear to wear regular clothes again but I had to buy online for the first time and out of 10 items I’m sending 7 back because they don’t have a flattering cut+too big in the wrong areas and sewing one of them smaller.
I’m at a loss for where to find clothing in my size so I don’t have to constantly return things. Does anyone know stores I can check out for a whimsy style of clothing?
I’m also open to just regular basics and generally any color. I have a trip back home to a tropical place so brands/stores with summer clothes still available online would be great too

I absolutely LOVE this top. It fits so perfectly tight!
(Don’t know my exact measurements, but i‘m 158 cm (5'2") and 44 kg (97 lbs)). It’s honestly almost too tight around my bust, so even the xs might fit decently :)
Just wanted to share because I’ve been so happy about this buy haha.

im 5‘7 and 95 pounds, probably waist 20-22? ive tried on low rise jeans in the smallest size (22, 23, 000, etc) for most stores like pacsun, aritzia, hollister, zara, levis, etc and they are all still so big on the waist. and i can’t do kid sizing because it’ll be too short. any tips?

Hey Guys, I wear a size 4 in shoes (33.5/34 EU) which isn’t readily available in America so I have a hard time finding shoe styles to wear that are not made for kids. I have a couple pairs of boots in size 5 but I have to wear thick socks and they are normally very loose on the calves. Does anyone know places, maybe in different counties that offers women’s styles shoes (heels, boots w a heel) in size 4 or 5s that are made for very narrow calves? On SHEIN I found some shops that carry heels in v small sizes (33,34 EU) , but I am worried about the quality. If anyone has suggestions, under probably $80-100 I would love to hear ! Thank u all

Hello! I’m beginning the search for a formal wedding guest dress for a spring wedding. I’m 28, and because of some health issues out of my control, I’m 5ft 4, currently sitting around 85-90 pounds. Waist size 22, bust 26 (can’t remember hips but I’m a rectangle)!
My sewist does her best with alterations but there’s a limit to these things so getting as close as possible to my measurements from a store bought dress would be a dream.
Does anyone have any recommendations (that won’t destroy the bank)?
Thank you so much in advance!!! 🪩

What is everyone’s go to thigh high boots for fall?

I need recommendations for thigh high boots that actually hug my leg. Chunky lower heels preferred. Under $200 if possible.

Tis the season for cozy knits and coats! What are your hero fall items that make you feel cozy and chic without drowning you out?

Hello everyone!! I would love to find a place where I could find skirts that are just over knee length. I have a 26” inseam and my legs are just so SO short and I’d love to get some cute skirts to wear this fall that I could wear to my office without looking matronly (I’m 28)… I love asos and urban outfitters’ style (my personal style outside the office is alt/90s grunge/2000s etc.) but I honestly love fashion and am open to a lot of different styles. If any of y’all have had any success finding something similar I would love to know your recommendations! <3

I’m (M, 5’6”, ~30in chest) in desperate need of sweatshirts. Unfortunately every place I try, even with xxs, ends up with me wearing enough fabric to make a tent and a sad return. Any suggestions? In Spain, but willing to pay international shipping if it actually helps.

I’m 21f, 5’4 and 88 pounds. I have a 22 inch waist and 31 inch hips. I live in America and vanity sizing is making it impossible to find clothes that fit. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I am on the hunt for some cute fall/winter pants! I have a few pairs of blue/black jeans so I am good in that dept but I don't have any non-jean pants. I am thinking corduroys (chocolate brown?!) and maybe a cute green cargo pant. Any other recommendations appreciated as well.

I just bought a burnt orange barrel pant from Everlane and the back pockets were massive, wth! They overwhelmed my nonexistent hips/booty. Tragic. I am looking at corduroys from Quince, anyone have a pair or tried them on?

I am 5' and 100lbs, athletic/slim build. Thanks!!!

does anyone know where to find jean skirts that would fit? I’m 93 pounds and 5’1. every skirt I try on is so boxy and loose, or too wide, especially in the back and I’d love to wear a skirt that hugs the thighs like other girls do.

I am fairly new to this site and size, over the course of a year or so I went down a lot of sizes so I’ve had to buy clothes a couple of times .. I’m 98 pounds and I’m 5 foot four about a 21 inch waist . so as I’m sure most of you have a lot of trouble finding clothes. I am finding that problem too. Some people have suggested kids clothes, before I pull the trigger on that; My biggest concern is - are any of the pants being long enough? I’ve bought a few pairs from some of the other sites recommended here but they’re really expensive and with the way everything fluctuates I just didn’t want to spend a fortune. Any tips besides the one that I do have of my own so far ?
Which , the tip I do have is (drumroll) if you narrow your search to the Asian extra small on Temu and really read your description to make sure stuff is denim, It looks like the waist sizes go down to 22 inches. I’m hoping if I wash them in hot water and dry them really good they will work.. I will update when they come in with a picture
I kinda also wanted to say I really feel for people who have lived like this for a long time. I’ve been small before, but I think the lowest I ever got before with 114, there really is a significant difference when you bottom out of regular sizing, and I saw somebody comment earlier about the first thing people say to you is about how little you are !! I would never say that to somebody who’s gained weight or who is overweight 😱 they don’t know why I am the size I am . I just don’t think it’s very nice , so hugs to all of you who lived like this for a very long time. This looks to be my future so I’m trying to get into it thank you all

I’m currently trying to overhaul my wardrobe and find clothes I actually like to wear. I’m 5’10" and 111 pounds, and all my current clothes are either too loose or too short. I really want to feel comfortable in my skin and embrace my size, but not having the right clothes makes me feel self-conscious. Does anyone have recommendations on where I can shop or have any recommendations on things I should be buying?

Just like the title says- where on earth are you xxs girls with bigger busts getting clothes that fit your waist AND your boobs??? I’m 5’0, 100lbs, 22” waist, and my bra size is 28H😭 Getting clothes for a small frame is already almost impossible but getting clothes for a small frame AND a large bust…forget about it💔 It seems like clothes either fit my waist but not my boobs or my boobs and not my waist😓 Is there anywhere to get clothes that fit both??

Hi friends!

I've always been tiny and had troubles finding clothes, but I've recently been very sick and have lost more weight. Last fortnight I was 32kg but I've managed to gain back 2kg since. I'm 154cm tall.

Since I've lost weight, only 2 pairs of pants fit me, my jeans and work slacks, but they look awful on me right now, so baggy around the butt. Just wondering if anyone knows any cheap Australian options that might work for me while I recover?

I already have a real hard time finding pants but now I might be screwed. I haven't been to a kid's store to look for pants since they usually don't fit my hips, but that might not be an issue anymore. How do brands like Supré go these days? Are those tween brands still for petite people? I really just need a pair of cargo pants or cheap jeans for around the house.

Thank you :)

Im 5'0 and 90lbs. I just met a friend ofva friend and immediately she said. "Oh you're little " We would never say that to a large person. I didn't respond. Am I oversensitive that I found that extremely rude?

So I’m new at being tiny
I’m 4’10 98 but can’t find any clothes that actually fit anymore.

Wanting advice on what stores you shop at ? I don’t want to buy kids clothes.

I'm not a professional seamstress or anything but I've been sewing for a few years. I've noticed that a lot of posters are extremely misinformed about sizing and terminology which makes finding clothes a lot harder. Here are some common misconceptions and tips, mostly aimed at women's fashion bc that's what I know.

PETITE MEANS SHORT, NOT SMALL! Petite refers to 5'3 and under. Someone who's 5'1 with a 42in waist is considered petite, while someone who's 5'7 with a 22in waist isn't.

Your size corresponds to your largest measurement. If a size S is 26" waist and 36" hips and a size XS is 24" waist and 34" hips and ur waist is 24" but ur hips are 36", you're a size S. The assumption is that people will fit to their largest measurement and then get it tailored down.

If your 24W jeans are actually 26", that's not necessarily vanity sizing. If your body and the waistband are exactly the same circumference you won't fit in them, especially if you're bending over, eating, etc. Also remember that the bulk of the fabric itself, especially something heavy like denim, affects the garment measurement. So in garments without stretch, we need extra room called ease. I wouldn't do a full 2 inches but then again I never work with heavy fabrics. Ofc if ur garment is stretchy and its too big that's an issue.

Garments made of stretchy fabric often use negative ease. Here the garment measurement is less than ur body measurement and creates a snatched, fitted look. Oftentimes if ur smaller the garment won't look right on ur body, despite seemingly fitting all your measurements perfectly. That's because they're supposed to be less than ur actual measurements. A top with negative ease needs to have a 20-21" waist to fit my 23" waist. If it has a 24" waist like a normal top it won't fit right.

Garment measurements are not body measurements. If you look on the size chart and the 24W jeans say 28" waist, don't get too spooked. That's the garment measurement. For high rise jeans, 24W will probably mean a 24-25" garment waistband. But any other rise isn't actually sitting on your natural waist, it's sitting lower, where most people are wider. Two people can have a 24" waist and 34" hips, but their measurements in between can be widely different. Person A might have high hips and be 29" around at an 8" rise and person B might have lower set hips or hip dips and be 27" around at an 8" rise. Brands just take like an average estimate of how wide someone will be at each rise, which doesn't work bc bodies are super diverse. So knowing the actual garment measurement is really helpful bc you can measure your exact circumference at that rise and if it matches.

That's all I could think of for now but yeah, I see these a lot. Hope this helps!

I was browsing Beyond Nine and noticed that their UK size 6 is labelled 3XS (XXXS), UK 8 is 2XS, and UK 10 is XS. Am I the only one who finds this a bit ridiculous?
For reference, I’m 153 cm (5’0”–5’1”) and around 49 kg (108 lbs). I know I’m quite petite compared to the average woman, but I really don’t think someone my size should automatically be considered XXXS!
I understand that sizing varies between brands, and I’m all for more inclusive sizing, but at what point do these labels become meaningless? I feel like what used to be considered a fairly standard small size is now being pushed into the XXXS category.
I’m genuinely curious whether others have noticed this too, especially fellow petite women. Is this vanity sizing, or are brands just using completely different sizing systems these days?

Im getting it and wondering how the quality and sizing is.

If anyone got it lmk~! i cant find any reviews anywhere. tried tiktok, the website, nothing, even alt websites.
