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.

At least in the bra department, Victoria secret still seems to have normal sizing. My shitlady needed some new sports bras and black Friday so 50% off. There was a square bore sales planet that showed us where to find a particular style and my girl said out loud that the small looked like it was the right size for her, I said "ya VS has not yet started with the whole vanity sizing BS; here a small is still actually a small" The face on the sales planet dropped and she like akwardly turned and tried to pretend she didn't hear me. Hopefully my comment lead to butter tears/tumblr post. Just naturally shitlorded IRL before I realized what I was saying lol
