Reading a lot of fatties' posts, they seem to think it is A-OK to hate on size zero, but if you hate on them at a size 30 you are body shaming them and GTFO. I experienced some thin body shaming a couple of weekends ago from my mother in law. She very kindly agreed to make my little boy a baptism outfit from the fabric from my wedding dress. I'll never wear it again and there was yards and yards of silk in the skirt and my mother in law is a very accomplished amateur seamstress. Great solution IMO. Now my wedding dress was custom made, but I have it on good authority from the dressmaker that it measured at a UK size 4, or a US size 0. The bodice has a 22 inch waist. On my wedding day I weighed 7 stone 4lb (102lb), and I am 5'1" which gave me a BMI of 19.2, which is well within the NHS recommended healthy weight range. Mother in Law I should point out is approximately a UK size 18, and claims to be on a diet, but falls off the wagon whenever it suits her before she loses any kind of significant amount of weight. I'm heavier than I was a few years ago because baby but only by about 6 or 7lb. Her face was fucking priceless when I took the dress out of the carrier and she saw the tiny waist. She managed to get a snidey little "well I'm glad you've put some weight on since then".
Ummmm, I'm not! I'm currently trying to get back to that weight with exercise and healthy eating, but you carry on with your on-again-off-again diet punctuated by several bottles of wine.
So the fats want health at every size, but not apparently at a size 4/0, at which size if you are a small person like me it is perfectly possible to be healthy and not "anorexic". Wondering how tall you would have to be to be a size 20 with a bmi of 19.2?

and somehow, in her fat clogged brain, it is YOU who FATSHAMED her, by showing her a dress that size in the first place!

Even more so by having fit into it. :-)

What do double d cups look like on a thin woman? Don't know if I've ever seen that

This is a phenomenon I call hippocrisy, and it's sadly becoming more and more common. Every damn time one of my fat relatives comes out to visit, they make it a point to tell me how skinny I am and that I'm going to die if I lose any more weight. (my current BMI is 21.1) That behavior is somehow completely okay, even though I would probably be crucified for talking about their weight.
Also congrats on the baby :)

About 7 feet and an inch or so tall.

That's a really cute and sweet idea for the baptism outfit!

Thanks, I was going to buy an outfit, but then I realised I had about 20 yards of white silk sat in a wardrobe at my mother's house that would probably never see the light of day again!

I love ths look of size 0. I don't think anyone should strive for too low of a bmi though. If you can be super small and a healthy bmi then great! I was thinking about losing a little more weight to get to a bmi of 19.5. (currently 21.1) But man the freak out if I mention wanting to lose just a few pounds!

I'm another UK 2-4 (depending on outfit) that gets skinnyshamed a lot.
Admittedly I'm 5'5" and therefore very underweight but I'm sick, disabled and fed by a tube.
Yet I still do more exercise and pay more attention to my health than the fatties do!
I have big boobs and an especially tiny waist for my size, all the women in my family do, but I think 14 years on crutches really sealed the deal for me as my pecs are huge and even after 5 years in a powered wheelchair, I can flex them and make my boobs dance.
My BMI is around 16 which is obviously unhealthy but I'm doing my best, unlike the fatties!
Don't let them get to you! At least you're not fat!!

You and I have almost exactly the same proportions. I'm 5'1" and weigh 106 but I want to get down to 100 since that's what I weighed at my physical peak with clean eating. Of course, people think you're crazy if you're already a size zero but want to lose weight/get in better shape. Your dress must have been so triggering but it's definitely motivation for me. A 22 inch waist is killer! :)

Let's not try to play the victim card, that's part of the fatty playbook. Just be satisfied that you can feel better than them because you actually are and anyone can see it.

I don't care, except that the size zero hate means women of a healthy size can't buy clothes because all the fatties want you to believe that their massive heft is normal and tiny women are the freaks.

Men's clothing doesn't fit either, that's just life. Even slim fit still means "belly tent" if you have muscles.
