[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares about "vanity" sizing--it's all just arbitrary anyway.  You may as well wear size 'A, B, C' or "yellow, red and blue.'

I think this is just a bunch of carping from thin women who want to make heavier women feel shittier than about themselves than they already do.  I seriously doubt that fit, average height women are having a hard time finding stylish clothing that fits them well.  Most overweight women find shopping a misery.

Also, some of the PPs don't seem to realize that being short does not mean you wear a smaller size.  Being short means you wear petite sizes, which are cut for shorter women (generally 5'4" and under).  Pant lengths are shorter, arm holes are cut higher, pockets and trim are placed in proportion to the shorter torso.  Petite sizes are often a size smaller, so a size 8 regular is a size 6 petite, but not always.[/quote]

This is such B.S. Some of us are talking about the fact that clothes have become so supersized that we can not find anything that fits. Get it? I can not find clothes that fit me anymore  unless I want to buy skanky cheap clothes at some junior's store at a suburban mall. OK? I am a middle-aged woman and it's ridiculous that I can't even wear size 0 petite anymore. I do not want to shop in the children's section or with my daughter's friends at Forever 21. [/quote]

But most of the people on this thread weigh around 150 pounds and are around a size 8-12. Vanity sizing for most people just means a different number of the label. Most people can find clothes perfectly easily. If the American public has gotten fatter and is no longer catering to your size, why is that my fault (as someone who is plus size?) Also, amazing stores like Zara and tons of amazing European brands are cut extra small. [/quote]
