article from business insider states women under 5’4″ are 50% of the female population. It is pathetic we are ignored.
I gained weight, so lg feel a bit tight, Purchased xl tops and freaked they were huge on me.
couldnt figure it out so went back to size charts. OMG From xs thru lg each size increases by 2 inches , then, at xl increases to 3″ larger, & some increase then by 4″. They . Cater to tall thin women. Interestingly tho average size for American women is 16-18. sooo, I am now searching for the few designers whose sizes are ok for me to purchase.

susy thought we lil gals were a larger percentage, so googled it. 40% of the population. of women are 5’3″ & under!! Sadly we must pay a premium at specialty to get clothing that fits.
Once again, as I posted years ago, we must begin compalining. There is strength in numbers. I am seeing that this community isnt used much anymore. I think the way to go would be on chats when they are presenting.. Simply ask why no petites?

kindred spirits lol. Two huge boxes I made mistake of looking thru-some with tags still attached, now sitting in family room. Need to do more attitude adjusting prior to being able to put them in vehicle.!!!

Thanks for information. Did not know there was a difference in thickness of fabric. Will stick with virtual, but wish she would embellish some of them, although I am careful to not purchase any with glued on embellishments, as they come off in wash. I miss the quality of years ago when she used grommets to apply rhinestones.
I am laughing so hard, as you made me realize it is probably time to get rid of my hoard of DG2 jeans in boxes in the basement. they begin in size 10-I am now 16 or 18P. I am 73 & its time to stop fooling myself. Thanks for making me think!! lol

JaDiva I like your sense of humor! Interestingly I must go for colonoscopy as well-soon as I can find a driver. guess I just felt she was using scare tactics – said will -not living will. Probably irked moreso because I think she is arrogant, talks about giving health consultations-not realizing the workout attire she lives in is highly toxic. Also mentioned a car accident stating she wasnt hurt because she was driving an expensive car.

oh, yes, thanks for the laugh, and especially amy with “and again” she once said it 4 times in a minute!
