i totally hear you on this...and i just wanted to clarify because i didn't mean to make ANYONE feel bad or down about ANYTHING.....
there is a huge HUGE difference between someone who is naturally thin, and someone who feels they NEED to be HOLLYWOOD THIN & think it looks good. My cousin who is also my best friend is natually thin....eats literally whatever she wants, but is still a size one...and she HATES it(even though she's drop dead gorgous!) imo, I think being naturally thin is a total blessing! This thread was more or less started about the sizing issue on clothes in general, and also the BEAUTIFUL women in hollywood who once had beautiful bodies, but now starve themselves or coke themselves out to be what they feel they HAVE to be. When someone is naturally thin, they are beautiful & just as much woman as a curvey girl....it's when they literally starve themselves(i.e. victoria beckham who publicly announced that she will only eat salad and nothing else for meals - and wont higher a nanny who's skinnier than she is) and look entirely unhealthy/un-natural. so hugs to you - because i think you're beautiful just the way you are and u should be proud that at 27 u can still shop in the jr. dept!! If it does bother u, know that this is EXACTLY what we were all talking about....they've marked down the tags so much that it sends u into other sizes & messes with our heads. In the longrun, regardless of the sizing issue, what i'm saying is you can visually tell that u are naturally thin....and it's a beautiful thing....u dont look like u've starved urself to bones & look like u're going to keel over like half of the celebrities do... u're still ALL woman!![]()

Not meaning to offend anyone-but Jenn I agree that pants should be the size they are...period. I think making sizes smaller b/c of the 'insecurity' that woman have with their size being 'too big' is ridiculous! I have seen women who are a 4 or 6 or 8 and they are gorgeous. It really is all i how you carry yourself and how you feel about your body-not the size on your pants....no one knows what size pants you wear except for you![]()
BUT I was a 00 for years, and still was come wedding time. Now a 0 or a 1 depending on the cut-I am that poster girl for 'anorexic models' and always will be-5'7' and 100lbs is me. Its my genes, I cant help it-just about every bone in my body can be seen. So please dont bash anorexic girls b/c someone like me and I am sure others...cant help the fact that we cant gain weight and want to be a 2 or a 4 and we arent anorexic. Sadly I eat whatever I want b/c I hope that it will help me gain weight. I HATE going to to the store to buy pants b/c i hate having to go into the junior dept to buy them. 27 I should no longer be there. As much as it upsets you that they are making the size smaller for the response some woman will have...how do you think we feel? Not any better about the sizing issue then you![]()
