I am active daily and run and lift weights. For the past few seasons, I have been buying champion work out pants at Target.
I'm a normal (very in shape) human. I used to buy size small work out pants. That was the smallest they had, they were fine.
Last year, they introduced an xs. These were even better than the smalls and looked great. I'm wearing them now actually.
Being Black Friday and all, I figured, "hey, let's get more work out pants." We go to Target. I go to grab the pants. They were labeled "xs curvy." There were no other options. I thought, "this can't be good." I went up to a human sized associate and asked if the had any "non-curvy" versions.
I am "curvy" with a perfect hourglass, 35/25/35, but I no longer am curvy in the classical sense. So I put on the "curvy" xs pants. Of course they were too big. Not having too many other options, I bought them and will return them if I can find better ones at a different store.
I'm not even that small. I feel bad for actual xs women. We can no longer buy clothes because the hamplanets are taking over.

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.

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.

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.
