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.

I feel you, I get called petite constantly and I'm 5'7-5'8 and about 118 freedom units (ha). I also wear a size 8.5-9 shoe depending on brand. Am I thin? Sure, but petite? Yea, not quite. That word, along with "athletic" has unfortunately been re-branded by obeasts. I saw on feddit the other day some post where a former female (femayo now) kept referring to herself as "petite". It was "only" 5'1-5'2 and 180lbs.
WHAT?!?!!!?! In what hamplanet universe does she think that's petite? You're not petite, nor chubby or curvy, you're massively convex and a
walkingwaddling abomination, ffs.
