The worst is when I shop at outlet stores and I can never find clothing in my size because everything is size 12+. At least there's plenty of athletic wear that is in my size. Recently I went to the Bay (fellow Canadian here) and tried on some Free People tops in XS and they fit like a tent and I didn't bother looking for XXS since I don't often see brands carry XXS clothing. It turns out that Free People does make XXS but for 24" waist and their XS are for 25" & 26" waistlines which are a whole size bigger than it should be (compared to other brands). Vanity sizing has gotten so bad that now I just order online from Taobao when I'm in China and I just placed an order from a Chinese site called Choies. Hopefully they stick to Chinese sizing instead of catering to fats.

Oh man, I love Free People. Most of my clothes are from them. But yeah, they tend to run huge, which is still manageable if you're going for the breezy, Boho look. Fats can never pull of Boho.

I love the style too! It's just that the loose breezy look ends up swallowing me alive haha (I'm 5 feet tall so that's part of the reason). And fats just can't pull anything off no matter how cute the clothes are!
