The subreddit for people (all genders) who wear size XXS, 00, or are generally just very tiny.

Welcome to the subreddit for people (all genders) who wear size XXS, 00, 000 or are generally just very tiny! This a place to discuss fashion, body acceptance and to support one another.

WHO IS SIZE XXS?

  • Anyone who considers themselves to be XXS is XXS! Easy as that. This subreddit is for all genders. A good way to know if you are size XXS is if either A) you own clothing that is that size or B) your relatives constantly tell you to eat more.

WHAT IS SIZE XXS?

  • XXS is a clothing size that stands for extra-extra-small. It is different from the size Petite, which is for people 5'4" and under. The size XXS refers to weight rather than height. A person can be 5'7" and wear size XXS (or 00 or 000) jeans. Or a person can be 5'1" and wear size XXS! Basically, a person who wears XXS or 00/000 is very thin.
  • See J. Crew's clothing size charts & measurements for more information.

Advice for where to shop for very small comfy pants?

Hello Everyone-

I’m posting here as I’d like to buy my grandmother a pair of comfortable pants. She is very small- about 4’10” and while it’s hard to remember her waist size I’d put it at maybe 22”. She is getting very old and has lost a lot of weight becoming frail, so I’d honestly not be surprised if even that’s a bit big.

I’d like to send a pair of comfy pants- preferably ones that look good for going out but are super comfy- to her, but I live far away. Looking on Amazon most pants start at a 27” waist minimum.

Does anyone have any links or recommendations to something like that?

how do you guys stay warm?

I know being cold isn't unique to being small, but I feel like we usually have it worse!! What do you guys do to keep yourselves warm during the winter? Especially if you have to walk outside often like I do. Is the secret just... layers? If so, what do you guys recommend? I hate wearing too many layers because then I feel bulky and ugh. Not comfortable. I have a boyfriend who doesn't love to keep it super warm in his apartment and so I've resorted to having a blanket wrapped around me the entire time I'm there.

xxs but long(ish) leg friendly pants ??

i’m 5’1 (not tall) BUT i have pretty long legs for my height so i wear a 30 inch inseam…. yall know how hard it is to find jeans/pants that are a) actually a 25 waist and not vanity sizing b) fit not super high rise AND c) actually long enough???

i would buy kids pants because the rise and waist would fit but of course they’re too short because im a whole full grown adult (eh im eighteen but i have gone through puberty lmaoo) so i do have child proportions???? im short but with tall proportions…. if anyone has this same problem or recommendations of brands that actually fit pleaseeeee lmk you’d save my life

Help?

(F 5ft2) My waist is about 24 ½ but my body is an inverted triangle (with pear elements) but i'm just focusing on the broad shoulders for now since that's where the issues come in. When it comes to clothes/according to my waist I should be fitting into (when my stomach isn't bloated or pudgy) XS-XXS but because of my body shape it makes clothes uncomfortable to wear my size, so I've always just worn M-S. Sometimes XS depending on the brand. what do I do because clothes end up looking baggy or weird on me.

Workout clothes

Looking for a brand that carries more masculine styled workout clothes that would fit me (5’7, not very curvy, 25 inch waist) Most brands that carry my size in workout clothes are very feminine and Im not really comfortable wearing them. Im mainly looking for tight compression tops and looser sweatpants.

Western-style belts or belts with large, ornate buckles?

I've been re-wearing the same one or two belts for a long time and haven't bought a new one in a while, and was wondering if you guys had any recs for stores or sellers that sell western-style belts, or belts with large, ornate buckles for petite + XXS women? Preferably in black?

(Examples here and here).

How does being xxs/nothing fitting you properly affect your mental health?

I’m wondering if anyone else feels like this has a huge negative impact on your mental health. I love fashion but the fact that I can’t wear what I want because nothing fits me/looks good on me makes me truly depressed. Also the time I waste on ordering and returning clothes because I so desperately need something that looks good on me plus the negative environmental effects make me feel terrible..

Anyone else who feels that way?

Help! I'm looking for a graduation dress and I can't find any store with clothing that's small enough for me

Here are my measurements: Height: 4' 9" Bust: 28 Waist: 21 Hips: 27 I have a straight/slim body type. I'm based in the US.

I've tried every store in the mall (Macy's, Aritzia, Nordstrom, Target, Abercrombie, etc). There wasn't a single store with clothes that were small enough to fit me.

Children's clothing unfortunately doesn't work since they're not made with women's proportions in mind.

Does anyone have any suggestions for brands that cater towards extremely petite people?

Jeans for a 21inch waist?

I'm just about to give up on jeans and live in unflattering jogging bottoms for the rest of my life. I cannot find jeans that actually fit a 21inch waist and 34 inch hips! All the "21inch waist" jeans I buy are way too big. Does anyone know of any brands that sell jeans with a true 21inch waist? It would be much appreciated! (UK) :)

Affordable warm wool coat recs

Hi, broke med student here needing very warm new wool coats.

Most sites within my budget (max 150) have all XXS sold out so I'm exhausted from searching. I don't mind thrifting online at this point. My preference is either black or tan and it needs to be extremely warm.

I've been looking at some loft coats but I've never purchased one before so idk how warm they are. Banana Republic which I wanted the most because of their 60% off sold out in both XXS and XS. It's frustrating.

For reference, I'm bottom-heavy. I have a XX bust, XX bands (unsure of bra size, I just wear sports bras) waist of XX, and hips of XX. Thanks.

You don't need to gain weight, you just need clothes that fit!

Hi, soo...if any of you remember me, I was the girl who posted a week ago venting about my bra size and how demoralizing it felt to measure myself. Basically one of the Google searches equated my size to "common for a 13-year-old girl." I was feeling pretty insecure and heightened emotions from going through an overall tough time, plus body trauma stuff coming up, BUT...someone introduced me to The Little Bra company. I was shocked and happy that they actually carried a bra for my measurements for adult women. I nervously placed an order and waited.

Well...I got the two bras I ordered tonight. I tried them on and I cried.

But this time, it was a good cry of happy tears. THEY ACTUALLY FIT. Guys, if you haven't tried this company yet already let me tell you...the way I felt when I could actually use the FIRST clasp instead of pulling all the way to the last, the way I felt when I pulled the straps up and realized it actually fit snugly, the way I actually got cleavage and NO empty space between skin and fabric when breathing -- not to be dramatic but it's unreal.

Never in my life have I actually had a properly fitted bra and it's honestly changed some of my feelings about my size. I knew it to a certain extent, but I didn't realize just how negatively impactful it is to always be wearing ill-fitted clothing. Of course we may feel unsexy in these cases!

So it made me realize even more, beyond bras. I'm sure you all know as well but I just want to reiterate for anyone who's also been like me, obsessing over weight gain, making it a life goal, wanting it to feel more womanly or sexy...that may not be the case. We just need to find, wherever we can get it, clothes that properly fit. It's a game changer.

It is unfair to compare or feel bad about the size of our bodies when they aren't even being properly represented or dressed ❤️

Not even small but need cheap jeans

Any suggestions of brands that fit a waist around 27-28? Length around 32. Not more than $30 per pair. . .

My old pants that fit have apparently been redesigned larger and don't work at all or come in a smaller size.

I ordered some random things to try but not holding out hope and the stores seem to carry size 6 and up so can't try anything on.

I feel like an imposter asking here cause I'm not really small at all. . . it is just that the clothes keep growing.
