Finding clothes that fit.


Question Posted Tuesday April 6 2010, 5:02 am

I have trouble finding clothes that fit, or look flattering because I'm just too skinny! D: I'm underweight for my age/height, I think. I'm 15/f, standing at about 5'4" tall and weigh somewhere between 95-100 pounds. I usually like to shop at places like Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, American Eagle Forever 21, and other places.... But whenever I try on most clothes, I just feel plain stupid. Most of the clothes are just big or loose fitting on me. Luckily, the stores I like to shop at carry smaller sizes too, that I can fit into. Does this happen to anyone else though? Whenever I try on clothes that are too big, I feel stupid, and what also adds to that is that I'm flat chested. I feel like a 12 year old boy. -__- I also feel like a fool sometimes when shirts are extremely long on me, or certain shirts/tanks are low near the chest area since I can't fill it out. The only shirts that could possibly look flattering on me right now, are basic/graphic tees. I'd like to start wearing those flowy type tank tops and other varieties of shirts, but they just give me this box-y figure, and make me feel like a little kid. I see other petite and skinny people like models, celebrities, or even peers that can pull things like that off. And they may smaller chested and skinny. Maybe I'm over-exaggerating it, because of course you would probably do that when criticizing yourself... Does anyone have any advice, or suggestions for clothing ideas? Bottoms I am fine with, it's just mainly shirts I'm having trouble with.

try going to the stores employees and ask for help. they are specialized to help people out like you and they'll know what to do. just simply go up to them and ask them that you don't know what size is appropriate for you. some of them will take measurements and tell you the size, others will just find clothes and tell you that its your size.

you could also have someone tailor your clothes. look for seamstresses or tailors around and they'll make the clothes fit for your body size.

as for filling out breasts, you could try buying a water bra or push up bra to make the illusion of bigger breasts. just 1 tip, don't put any tissue in them.. bad experience.. haha

good luck!
