What happens if you are smaller than Size 0? - Page 6

Then you wont mind if we make some 'jokes' about your weight?

There are numerous places that sell juniors clothing. That should do the trick. Maybe just look at Sears and Penney's. The large department stores (like Nordstrom's, Macy's, etc.) do the vanity sizing...one size larger than other places...so you think you are smaller than you really are.

Until I discovered QVC 20 years ago, I had problems. The "stout" shops bugged the heck out of me, so did the plus sections of department stores. Mostly shapeless tents in dark colors, for more money. Even LL Bean charged (and still charges) 5.00 extra for anything larger than an XL. I think people are just joking around, I didn't read one truly nasty post.

Funny how you didn't mention any of this in your original post. You just asked about sizes under 0.

You said you "didn't have to worry about it".

So if the suggestions about getting a good meal, being in the hospital and having burgers every day aren't nasty and meant to demean thin women, I guess we could ask all the plus-sized ladies here to give us an accounting of what you ate for the week. We could then comment on your choices.

I considered throwing in some 'jokes' to perhaps give her, the OP, some perspective but I knew the post would be immediately yanked...

Sad it doesn't work that way for the thin girls...

@Andreatoo, yes, it's tempting , but better not to go there.

Either they'll "get it" or they won't. Spreading hurt is toxic no matter who is the target.

-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.

You simply disappear. Poof!

Some of these answers are unbelievable. And on the rude side. Although at this point in my life, I'm not smaller than size 0, I'd say with vanity sizing, I was there in my early 20's and some saleswomen did tell me to go to the children's department.

My answer to those who are adult women, but small, is to go shopping in bigger cities or find online sites that carry smaller sizes. I know in the SF area, there are a lot of Asian ladies who are small who need size 0's or very small sizes.
