Chico's have "branded" themselves to appeal to Baby Boomers. I recently went into their store and had no idea what their sizes were. I found it ridiculous and kind of an insult to my intelligence to tell me I am a size 00. Everything was cut ridiculously big and reminded me of QVC's vanity sizing.

This Baby Boomer will be passing on their clothing.

I went to one of their stores once and hated their sizing thing, too.

And much of it struck me as "And then there's Maude".

LOL, Kitty! We are both on the same page....

Owie I think the sizing is nutty but I do have a number of their tops -- none are long and flowing.

She's beautiful, she's been at the center of their ads for a while now but she looks older than 40. She's the "Chico woman", smart enough to figure out their sizing system...it doesn't take a rocket scientist....lol

I would never think of you as Maude, tansy!

Nobody stated it takes a rocket scientist to figure out their sizing but your assumption of what was posted.

I just don't like someone pandering to my ego when it comes to sizing.

I think she is beautiful and I love her hair. But I also thought she was quite a bit older than 40.

Me too. I thought she was 50-ish.

Why do you think she looks 50? I thought the same but couldn't quite pinpoint why???

She just looks older than a model who is not yet 40.

...because all those size 18's who wear the Chico's size 3.....feel really, really good about that number on the tag....lol Ya hoo! I haven't lost a pound but I'm down to a size 3! Please...give women some credit!

That model is likely too thin to fit into their vanity sizing. She doesn't represent their image. They should show size 10, 12, 14 models and not some skinny 40 yr. old dancing in high stilettos.

I do give women some credit and hopefully they aren't taken in by some gimmicky sizing.
