I am what (should) be an actual xs. I now wear girls size 9/10. I can sometimes get clothing at "teen" stores but have been completely sized out of all adult clothing places and it's actually kind of embarrassing.

Don't be embarrassed for not being an obeast. Fatties wish they could be that small when they see humans shopping in kids' sections.

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 :(

For this reason, I'm so grateful I'm short as well as skinny lol

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)

XS Workout leggings are starting to get loose on me. I have a BMI of 22 so not super thin... why the fuck I'm I buying XS in the first place?

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.

A lot of asian women now shop at kids stores for clothing as nothing in the adult shops fits them. All too big.

I'm not Asian, but at least 1/3 of my current clothes are kids. I'm XS or size 0, usually, but kids medium - large fits great, especially in work out gear. It's terrible as I'm a bit too tall for most pants in these sizes, but it's better to have some scandalous ankle showing than something baggy and sloppy.

I buy jeans at "teen" stores like Hollister or American Eagle. I feel a little strange going there, but that's where the jeans fit. Professional clothing is more challenging. I have given up and go to resale stores where I can find classic styled clothes that existed in non-planet sizes unlike now.

I donno how easy it will be to search for this brand, but my MIL gave me several pairs of dress/work pants from a label called "Snap". They actually fit without a belt, aren't loose around the ass and baggiy around the crotch, and don't drag on the floor without being hemmed. Literally the only pair of work pants I have ever worn that fit right off the rack, and I'm 33 and have been working since I was 16.
