I fit in a size 22 jean! Size 24 is still super comfortable in the waist, hips and ass, but 22 isn't uncomfortable and its "short/petite" leg length is actually short enough to not be trailing the ground when I walk or enveloping my feet when I go upstairs barefoot.

OP: Let's talk clothes and fashion...

Whoops. Meant this to go into the accomplishments thread. Consider it a general clothing thread now. Squee, gripes, whatever you got.

Gripe: I wish there were more men's-inspired women's clothes made for bigger people.

Were you replying to me, or someone else? Haha, either way congrats on the weight loss!

Man, clothing sizes are the worst. I recently went clothing shopping for the first time in a long, long while and felt like ten different size types had been invented. Maybe they've always been around and I just haven't noticed, but fuck if it isn't confusing. I didn't know what any of the letters meant.

Unfortunately, I bought petite jeans and they're STILL a bit too long, so...I'll have to do something about that eventually. Either that or buy shoes with big heels.

Oh, and it sucks being 'petite'. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places (probably not; I haven't had a chance to go to too many different stores yet) but it's hard finding petite clothing. Sometimes I buy whatever fits and just live with the slightly too long sleeves.

I'm at a frustrating size, too. There's typically plenty of clothes in the sizes I used to wear, and a fair amount of the stuff smaller than me as well, but the sizes I fit in are often missing.

I thought when I lost weight clothes shopping would be fun...it is not.

lol i hate shopping for clothes

because i'm petite and short (i know, i know, first world problems!)
but jeans never fit properly. i always have to take up pants at the hem. and now i've lost some weight, so i'm sort of in this weird "between" sizes and i can never find anything in that size - it's either too big or too small.

don't even get me started on shoe shopping. i have really narrow ankles so i can never find a pair of shoes that's comfortable and won't give me blisters.

URGH

I love clothing and fashion but I can never find clothes that fit me or are comfortable, or I don't like them for some reason or another. And usually they are always sold out of my size the time I do find something. I'm too stubborn to buy ugly and uncomfortable clothes, so I'm coming pretty close to having nothing to wear as more and more of my old clothes get too worn out. :X I'm gonna see about doing some online clothes shopping if I can find some place with prices I can afford right now.

The thing that drives me absolutely insane is that I don't like the cap sleeves that they put on all girl's t shirts. men's t shirts usually don't flatter me, but the cap sleeves on girls shirts don't fit me right and they are uncomfortable. Where does a person have to go to find shirts targeted for a female audience that actually have a sleeve more than a half inch long???

Ugh, I hate those sleeves so, SO much. Loathe them.

I mean, okay, not on other people, but I don't want to show off my arms, and those sleeves feel too tight and uncomfortable. If the sleeves are too short I won't wear the shirt unless I wear something with longer sleeves over it. (Which sucks right now because when it's about 90 degrees outside you shouldn't have to wear a damn jacket or cardigan or whatever.)

They are TOO TIGHT! I am uncomfortable showing off my arms sometimes, but even more than that, even though I am super skinny no matter how big of a shirt I get, if it has those cap sleeves it's too tight across my chest and shoulder! I can't imagine how other people can be comfortable wearing something like that, especially people any bigger than me. Of course I don't care what other people want to wear, but for me I just hate it so much.

I cant believe there's really not enough demand for shirts not styled like that, that no companies seem to make them anymore. I've found some on foreign shopping websites but I sure can't afford to pay for that right now.

Oh got those little sleeves I hate them I hate things touching my skin too tightly and they always do.

I also hate ankle socks because they always slide down into my shoes. It seems to be all they sell anymore unless I want to buy men's trouser socks.
