Yeah. In the decades I was seriously underweight (5'9", 110-115 lbs), almost nothing fit. (I did have good luck with Villager clothes in the late 60s - except for the pants, which were never long enough. Oh, and the prices, which I couldn't afford except on sale, or found second-hand. That's mostly the "why I learned to sew" when I was a teenager.

During the oh, 15 years or so when I was happy with my size (same height, about 135 to 145 lbs., size 10 then, almost certainly a smaller number now) - nothing fit. See above, sewing, and some things could be fairly easily altered.

Now, the last decade or so, with the medication-caused weight gain (same height, add 50 pounds) - still, NOTHING FITS. And with the fibro & chronic daily migraine, I don't really have the "spoons" to do any sewing.

No matter what size a woman is, I swear to ghod, there are no clothes out there that will actually fit comfortably.

I hate shopping for clothing. Hate, hate, hate.
