Hi all! I (22F) am 5’1 and pretty skinny. I know a lot of you have been told to shop in the kids section - but trust me, that isn’t necessary! I’ve spent a long time curating my wardrobe with adult sized clothing pieces that fit me.

Here’s some examples! Feel free to ask where things are from or DM me with additional questions <3

edit: no i’m not putting measurements or weight in my comments and don’t dm me for anything other than information on clothing! thanks <3

I’m forced to wear hideous uniforms for work and they’re literally huge. It’s very clearly just men’s sizing. I also have it on loan so I can’t really alter it. For the pants I just roll up the hem and wear a belt. But the jacket is MASSIVE, it keeps sliding down my shoulders, sleeves are long af, and it’s just comically oversized. Mind you I wear XXS bc of my measurements but I’m 5’4 so not particularly short for a girl. I also have pretty long arms so???

I know it’s so as many people can fit as possible but wtf am I supposed to do? If I roll up the sleeves it always eventually comes down bc the sleeves are so wide it just falls again, especially since I move around so much

Anyone know what I can do to keep the sleeves up and get the shoulders to fit without damaging the jacket. I really don’t wanna have to buy it and take it in

I've of seen people make posts hating on couples that have a significant height difference. It's so weird to hate on someone for something they have no control over. 1. I can't control my height. 2. I can't control who I fell in love with and the fact they are much taller than me.

It's so disgusting to see people throw around accusations like "it's just a kink" or "it's lowkey p*dophilia". In the end, it's my relationship and I don't care that mine makes them uncomfortable just because I'm 4'11 dating someone 6'4. But I just think it's odd that something like that bothers people so much.

It’s so frustrating when people and especially older women, constantly tell me I’m too skinny or that I need to eat more, but god forbid the exact same energy is returned? btw I’m 16 and these women are at least 40, like at your grown age you’re acting like this??🫩 also to clarify: I don't want to comment on their bodies or body shame anyone back at all. I just wish they understood how hurtful these comments are.

Please girls tell me how to reply to them because I don’t know how, and honestly I don’t have enough courage to be mean like them. Any advice is appreciated!

When I was pregnant I could fit in Costco pants and I’ve been so sad missing out on the cheap comfy pants after I gave birth. Even their XS swallows me. Well today I had a thought and held these up. I almost grabbed large and my husband said they were going to be too long. Well the mediums fit perfect!

For context, I post outfits on social media and Im not a big account but this is like the 3rd time I've seen my pics getting posted on an ed platform as thinspo. And everybody is accusing me of body checking and saying that I have ED. Its so frustrating but I'm honestly scared to address anything directly. The comments are either saying I have ED or that my body looks terrible and i look like Im gonna die soon. They also brought up my response from a while ago where I said my body is genetics and are calling it bs and are claiming no one can be that skinny w/o ED. I've been visibly underweight all my life and my whole family is too. Its also pretty upsetting that nobody says anything to my brother, who is as skinny as me, but so many people feel like they need to comment on my body (and usually negatively lol).

They said I'm body checking but all I did was exist in shorts and a tank top. It is summer but apparently if I wear summer clothes I'm body checking lol. I'm not sure if anyone remembers but I also made a post here few months ago where someone asked whether I wear baggy clothes to hide how skinny I am at work. Like what am I even supposed to do???? No matter what I wear my body is noticed and I feel so helpless sometimes. I try to be unbothered but I can't help but feel insecure about my body at times. Everybody talks about body positivity until its about skinny people. "I wish I was as skinny as you" is NOT a compliment btw. Can't people just quit talking about other people's weight?

I’m just looking for advice on what to say to people that call my normal body unhealthy. all comments are about my body and how skinny i am. i had a family party where every single person in the room commented about how skinny i am when i was saying hi to them. hugging them and hearing things like “i could break you” is really disheartening because i am fine and don’t have an eating disorder or any health problems, and i just don’t even know what to say. i’ve been skinny my whole entire life, its not like i can turn it around on them because i think they’re just insecure but idk.

weird to post here, but i am in no way shape or form xxs, however, ive been fitting into xxs lately, and i dont think i should at all. I’m 137 5’8, and while im skinny, im relatively bulky due to muscle. i’d say if sizing was proper, id be a small or medium. but for some reason, brands like brandy or walmart or anything that’s labeled as small has been way to big. sometimes even sizing down to an xs is too big. like im usually a size 7 in old vintage jeans, but for some reason 0s are big on me. has it always been like this?? why is stuff being made so big or is it just america

Are they changing the sizes of shoes without people knowing? I know they do this with clothing like shirts as a S now is more like a M/L and its very annoying to find clothes that fit so i just wear baggy. But ive noticed with shoes that ive gone down a whole size. The even more annoying thing most shoes dont go below a 5 so its incredibly hard to find shoes.

Hi petite girlies,

Im trying to downsize, and as part of that im trying to resell my nicer pieces to be a part of the circular economy. Im having trouble tbough, because of vanity sizing.

This gorgeous dark fantasy dress is a Vintage size 4. It would fit a 24inch (61cm) waist, up to a 25 inches MAX. That is very much not what a size 4 is today. How do I list this? I have it as a size 4 right now, since thats what it is, but any moder size 4s who see it will absolutely not fit it (I also have flat measurements to avoid suprising anyone)

Has anyone found a good way to deal with this??

as a short girl where do you guys get ur scrubs, im 4’11 and js about a 100lbs and can not for the life of me find small enough scrubs they all are to big! does anyone have any recommendations?

i’m 5’3 and the length was a tiny bit short which is why i’m selling. they are 13.5 inches across laying flat and 6.5 rise. i have 31.5 inch hips and they fit me there perfectly.

they’re listed for $52 on my depop but i can make an unboosted listing w them for $46. private message me if interested, and ill tell you my depop (i dont want to put it on a public reddit post lol).

Hey everyone. first off, i am not even extra extra small. I am about 5’3, 115 pounds but I still sometimes struggle with finding clothes that fit me, either too big, too long or both.

I’m going to Japan at the end of August so it’s going to be HOT. I’ve been on Japan travel planning pages and people are saying that they recommend wearing linen. Do you have any recommendations for where to buy linen pants?

I stumbled across this AU brand that I had never heard of before. I looked at their size charts and it seems promising for xxs sizing.

Does anyone have any experience to whether their sizing is TTS or vanity sized? I really want to give it a shot. So far, only Lululemon's xxxs/0 is the best fit for me right now.

Sick of having to buy children’s clothes. Sick of being served portions meant for 3 people. I’m 5’5”, 105lbs, no EDs, 50 and been this way all my life. Why am I the minority?? This is not normal.

I normally wear a size XS and have a 26-27 inch waist. I tried on an XS pair of jeans and they were wayyy too big so I tried on an XXS and this is how they fit me. I feel bad for girlies with the 23-24 inch waists because how tf are yall supposed to find clothes 😭

Alright guys, not sure how many times this has been asked but I want a wide leg pair of jeans with the smallest rise ever. Please help, I'm guessing vintage? probably a 24, but I'd be fine with 23 or 25 if nothing else, mostly looking for brands 😢😢 I liked the lucky brand ones but they were still a bit odd fitting, and honestly I would like something with a lower rise. Everything "low rise" now seems to be mid rise at best. Thank you!!!

I'm sorry but I'm so annoyed by the constant comments here about "shein being the only thing that fits you" and I'm here to de-influence you. Shein does not exist in China. They sell to an exclusively international market. Their target market is westerners. Their sizing is not Asian sizing. It's just stretchy shit. It fits you well because it is stretch polyester. It is not the only clothing that fits very small people. Just get honestly any knit material made undersized so it stretches to fit you, and it will have the same fit. But it won't be the quality of literal trash. If you want to find something with Asian sizing, do some research into brands actually sold in Asia.

People call Shein "Asian sizing" because they often list the measurements of the clothes that are meant to stretch when they are unstretched. However they are meant to fit anyone from that size up to a significantly larger size that the clothing stretches to. So they see deceptively small measurements listed and assume it's because of Asian sizing. It's not. Also because they think it's actually an Asian brand lol. It's not. Or rather, it's not sold to Chinese people, nor is it targeted towards Asia as a market

I am XXS and I feel like the more trend led something is the harder it is to make it work on a smaller frame.

Oversized shirts look effortless on other people but can swallow me. Wide leg trousers can feel like too much fabric. Dresses that are meant to be relaxed sometimes just look like I bought the wrong size. So I end up playing it safe with basics even when I want my wardrobe to feel a bit more grown up.

I used to buy more from Zara and H&M because it was easy but lately im trying to be more intentional so better fabrics, cleaner cuts, pieces I can actually repeat instead of random cute things that dont fit right. I’ve been looking at like Palome, Massimo dutti and Cos for that more polished staple kind of look but sizing is always the thing that makes me hesitate.

For other XXS women what pieces or brands have actually worked for you when you want to look put together without feeling drowned in fabric? Especially linen tops, dresses, denim, trousers or simple summer pieces.

Hey everybody!

I just bought one of these scales who give you % stats on your body fat, muscle mass, water and bones. Of course, those are not completely accurate and only estimates. But now I learned that those are completely wrong and basically useless when you’re a very skinny woman?

I basically just wanted to track how much water retention I have, because I’m taking creatine to gain weight. And I’m also taking a lot of salt for my medical condition.

Anyhow, now it gave me some stats that tell me absolutely nothing personally, but when I googled and asked AI, it basically told me that “In the case of a 28-year-old woman with low muscle mass and a measured body fat percentage of 5%, it is difficult to determine her body water percentage with precision from a purely biological standpoint, since a true body fat percentage of 5% in a woman is medically incompatible with life. The essential body fat that women absolutely need for survival, hormone production, organ protection, and the menstrual cycle is at least 10% to 13%. Even female bodybuilders in peak competitive condition rarely fall below 12%.”

So it basically told me that my the stats that the scale gave me are “incompatible with life” lmao🫠😭

And then it went on to explain why this happens for skinny people with low muscle mass and those types of scales - basically it’s useless for us other than reading our weight lol.

Did you guys know this? I’m a bit bummed that I can’t find out my stats now. Or are there any better products that also give accurate estimates for skinny girls? I just want to track my water percentage to make sure I’m gaining weight but not develop straight up edema😭 (disclaimer: water retention was the only way for me to gain any weight, fat and muscle mass never achieved the same results for me)
