Clothes Sizing - Tumblr Posts

Okay I went to the mall today and I got these super cute yoga pants from off line by Ari (not my usual style but their so cute and soft <3)

After this I’m taking a bit about bodies and weight if you’re not in a place for that the TLDR is vanity sizing is out of control and it’s effecting me as someone who’s literally average build

—and that’s all fun UNTIL you learn that the pants that fit me best were EXTRA SMALL and that was THE SMALLEST SIZE they had in store

I’m not tiny or petite, I’m average height for a woman in the USA and my weight is close to the low number, but it’s still safe/heathy for someone my size

I shouldn’t be and extra small, in general because like I said I’m AVERAGE sized, but especially not in an athletic store

I’m average for the us but not on my sports team, on my team I’m both tall and heavy.

I know athletes come in all shapes and sizes

I saw the Olympics, even at that level there’s so much diversity I’m not saying that stores should make all their sizes smaller but we NEED a bigger size range

This store appeals to young athletes, and that demographic includes some of the smallest people I have ever met

I should not be the smallest size that they carry in store especially when most of the clothing is stretchy and will become loose over time
