Having worked in purchasing, I cannot figure out why xxs items sell out so often. The buyers must know that they have many shoppers who buy that size, but they seem not to react to the numbers by stocking more of the items.
The items often sell out before the colors are shown. Doesn't anyone pay attention to the 'sold out' numbers? Lost sales!!!

I've wondered about this. It makes me think they never really stocked the size to begin with.

reminds me of my shopping experience for most of the years I was working and most often needed to buy size 1X. If I saw something I liked, I learned I should buy it immediately because if any survived to be on a sale rack, there was a huge likelihood they'd be 2X or 3X.
I'm no longer wearing that size, but I see no indication that has changed. Whether I'm shopping locally or browsing here, 1X often sells out long before its larger counterparts.

Must be so tiring to pretend to be inclusive. I would guess that both ends are being slighted.

When I was a buyer you had to take packups which were done by the manufacturer.A certain number of each size included.This was a problem as sizes sold but others remained.

I'm still waiting for a medium plus. There are so many small variations: xxxs, xxs, xs, and small. In comparison there is often a big jump between medium and large. I've seen garments where the chest size jumps from 38" in the medium to 42" in the large.

I agree that the XXS are not available. I feel they just don't order many in that size. Also, QVC still needs to feature more petites. Some items cannot be easily altered and sometimes we just don't want to have to bother with taking it somewhere for an alteration and also adding more to the cost of a garment. When they do have petites, they seem to sell out very quickly. Need more XXS and petites.

I find plenty of XXS in the clearance section.
I've always wondered why

@Jasmine19 I agree that that statement. Often M is just a smidge too small for me, but L is too big. I am larger chested, so that part of the problem.

I don't know but when I watch late-night clearance shows or do an online search for clearance, small and extra small sizes are all they offer. I think they order too many of these sizes.
