Why is it impossible to shop in the Womens Dept?

Question

I am 5 ft, 112 lbs. A cup, measurements 34" 27" 30", in juniours I wear a size 5 pants, and a medium shirt, ( I have broad shoulders). I am 25 yrs old though, and mother of two, and sometimes I would like to dress like an adult. So in the Womens/Misses section it is practically impossible to find anything smaller then 6, and if I can find a sz 4, and its too loose, they Never have sz 2. Even the smallest blouse usually doesnt fit quite right. And is it just me, but it feels like if I shop in juniours I look like a whore, and if I shop in Womens/misses I feel like an old lady. I mostly shop at stores like Sears, Kohls , Ross. I always look through the petite section, but find the same ugly styles, and barely any sizes under 6. Yuck, all those pleated pants w/elastic waist bands. Am I shopping at the wrong places? I'd love to hear other opinions.........

Answer 1

Try a better store! Your run-of-the-mill department stores won't have a great selection. You might have to pay a bit more but it's worth it for nicer clothes, right? ^_~ AS for specific stores...H&M is the first one I thought of, really nice stuff there but not too expensive...Also TJ Maxx is great and the prices are really low. And remember that you can get things tailored. Again, more expensive but worth it for nice clothes that will fit you well and last.

Answer 2

my sister in law is a little bit taller than you and 29. She's a size 0 or 2 at most. Her favorite stres to shop at are Banana Republic, Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft. All three stores make great petite clothes. They are still fashionable yet young looking. The loft is great for casual wear. And BR and Ann Taylor are great for more work clothes/suits and dressy styles.

Answer 3

You should check out the men's department. They have clothes that fit to measurements, not by size like women's. I am a woman too, and I have really long legs, so women's pants are always too short - men's fit fine. They also don't bag in the front like women's pants do. You can get some rather "generic" shirts there too that should fit your shoulders better than women's. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

I know what you mean. I am too old for Junior style clothes and too young for Misses. Why do they seem to make Misses clothes so OLD LADYISH!? Yuck! We need some new designers out there !!!!

Answer 5

try the mall. Some stuff might be expensive though, but yet I don't know how much money you make. And if you have a Goody's, they might have something.
