I know the feeling, even as a guy. I keep fit and have been gaining a bit more muscle in the last year while maintaining a low body fat. I have to get things in S or XS, and here in Germany if I go into a department store, there are no jeans in my size (28x32), only larger (30 waist and up). All my lifts are good and I have good muscle definition and I'm "extra small"? Fuck you, fats.

We are going to soon have our own specialty stores. Like, we will all become "petite" based on body size instead of height. There's one store like that now for teens and they get a lot of shit for it. Most things are one size, small- Brandy Melville, just looked it up.

My SO keeps calling me, and other simply thin or fit women, petite. Which is wrong, you're petite if you're thin AND short, just all around small. Its frustrating because now petite is going the way of "curvy", and hambeasts are vanity sizing that too.

It won't work that way unless you make damn sure the "Petite" actually means petite human, and not short abomination. Nearly every place that has a "petite" section is short and fat.

I have a female friend who has to shop in the kids section for this very reason. It's much worse than just wandering over and selecting a smaller version of whatever you want because usually nothing in that section is designed for someone who is mature and successful. She's lucky if she goes in looking for something to wear for an evening out and manages to find something without Elsa on the front of it.

But the kids section doesn't carry trousers/pants/jeans with a 33-34 inch inseam :(

But there's no shame in being over 30 and displaying your Elsa pride. Let it go! (I enjoy being able to fit into kids clothes way too much)

I'm picturing a beach ball resting atop two small flowerpots.

Well, I mean, you're NOT wrong.
