Where do you see all of these women who are smaller than a size 0?

I just don't see them anywhere.

-2?  -4?  Just wondering.  I'm 1X so I guess I'll never have to worry about it, but there are some darn skinny ladies walking around.

I sometimes have that problem.  I was a size 8/10 and started running 3 years ago.  I am now a 0 or 2 depending on the brand.  I bought some Gap shorts before summer in a size 0 and by the end of a day, they are way too big. 

I just try to wing it and find brands that size 0 is smaller than other brands.

I was very lucky to have my mom alter what we bought, and she made a lot of my clothes as well...Boy did I ever take my beautiful mother for granted back then...Alsowhen shopping, I  don't remember finding many clothes under a petite size 5 or 3 back in the 60's/70's...haven't seen too many out there today but then, I'm not looking for that size now!

I worked in a clothing store in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The junior sizes were 5-13, with occasionally a 3 or 15.

Misses sizes were 8-16, with an occasional 6. 4 didn't appear until the late 1970s.

I bet Kelly Ripa, and Susan Lucci and Kit Hoover are all a double 00 or less, I am quite sure they have their clothes made for them...Kit is on Access Hollywood and she is 5'1" and very very tiny.......

You stop shopping the vanity sizes at QVC and you find a real 0.

I don't like the turn this thread is taking with the snide comments about small women...

What do you do when a 3X no longer fits? Shall we now contemplate that mystery?

Yes, it's always OK to trash thin women on this board.

I had my six month check up with my Dr. this past Thurs. and with clothes and shoes on weighed in at 86.3 pounds.   As usual he said nothing since at five foot two I have always been little and with no health problems at 54.  I have been going to this office since I was 15.  It is so hard to find clothes but I do what I have to do and I enjoy exercising daily and eating.   Some family and friends used to think I had anorexia but after decades with not evidence they have now realized some women are just small.

Believe me I can and have packed it on.  I gained five pounds a few years ago when my Mom died since I was eating my grief and all the food given.  But I realized it did not fill the hole so I went back to my same old same day and back to my original weight. 

So size 0 women are out there but we get lots of grief.  I did try on clothes one time in the little girl dept. but I did not buy.  There was just something wrong about that.  So I alter new clothes.

Thank you.

The suggestions for a biscuit or to come over for a good meal are offensive.

My best friend is a tiny woman. With vanity sizing, some size 0 clothes are too big for her.  She recently gave me 2 pairs of WHBM shorts labeled size 0. They fit me fine and I am a large size 4 or small 6.  I've never been a 0 in my life.

She is healthy and fit. She's just small in stature.
