I've bought plenty of pieces. Other vendors sell my size.

Period. 1351441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, please tell me that you told them how disappointed you were! &nbsp;They know you and you put a very personal (and charming) face to the result of their decision. &nbsp;You aren't a large person and you should be able to go into a store you shop at often and at least know your&nbsp;size was ordered (even if it sold out). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351434 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 20:55:13 +0000 Classically Casual 1351434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to believe that as 3-D printers really get mainstream, that all kinds of goods will open up for everyone for affordable prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351388 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 19:42:05 +0000 Laurinda 1351388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Consider the plight of&nbsp;the average US Woman with a waist size of 37.5" (and&nbsp;50% of us&nbsp;are larger than that). &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Even J Crew stops at size 16 = 34.5" waist or maybe size&nbsp;18 = 36" waist. Instead of adding size 000, they could have reached a huge market in the US by including sizes 20-28.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351288 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:29:12 +0000 Diana 1351288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, that sucks.&nbsp; I'm sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351282 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:21:10 +0000 Janet 1351282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, don't get me started. I hate walking into a boutique and flipping through the sizes of an intriguing item...00, 0, 2, 4...and then nothing. W.T.F. And higher end brands are the worst. I was seriously bummed when I visited the IRO store in NYC and discovered that they completely reworked their sizing. My cobalt IRO jacket is a size 2 (yeah, their sizing was weird before) and fits perfectly. They went to a european sizing scale and I could barely get my arms into the sleeves, even sized up from whatever my usual size 6-8 translated to in their european sizing. I commented to the SA about it and mentioned that they've lost a customer now. I mean, come on, I know my arms are not small, but really? </p> <p>Oh well, more money in the bank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351271 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:07:28 +0000 Thistle 1351271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry&nbsp; :(</p> <p>Yep, you saved your dollars, and you can spend them at a store that caters to you.&nbsp; </p> <p>I sometimes feel like retailers forget that there are a lot of people not a super&nbsp;small size that have fashion dollars to spend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351268 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:03:14 +0000 Irene 1351268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My theory is that they believe that sizing out people will make them shrink (it's another form of manipulation with the purpose of creating a 'perfect world'). Also, I guess they want to save on fabric?<br />I don't know, makes absolutely no sense to me. Consider yourself lucky for not living in Spain (although they do have really nice weather). If you don't fit within the 32-42 range you just have to dress plus size, and plus size options are expensive, or unfashionable, or both. Bear in mind I am an AM 2/4, a British 8/10 and a Spanish 38/M-L. So not only are they narrow-minded, but their idea of Small size is very, very small.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351245 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:41:35 +0000 Parsley 1351245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is frustrating as can be!<br />I find it infuriating when designers or stores decide that everyone should be a tiny size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351244 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:40:48 +0000 annagybe 1351244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Acne Studios jackets do come in my size. But Totokaelo is not stocking that size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351241 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:38:04 +0000 Laura 1351241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a bit stunned as well that Acne Studio jackets don't come in your size. Well, if they are going to be that limited with sizes, then a more deserving brand should get your hard earned dollars :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351234 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:35:10 +0000 AviaMariah 1351234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's crazy and doesn't make any sense to me. &nbsp;I guess they lost out on a sale. &nbsp;You'll find something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1351223 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:27:47 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1351223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's just mental. Someone my size being sized out, annoying but not a shock. Someone your size, ludicrous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1350886 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 05:41:30 +0000 jennifer 1350886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Extremely annoying . I understand completely. I'm plus sized so I generally can't find much at most retail shops. Some plus retailers are trying to get more of the smaller plus bracket and have double or tripled the orders for the 14-20s , leaving those who are 22-28 with only one or two of a item to the others four to six. If it's running small!?!?!?....<br /> Oh my.<br /> It would almost be nicer if there were shops committed to one size range ONLY. And they'd offer great quality ,consistent sizing,and great styles.and I'm probably dreaming .. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1350882 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 05:08:59 +0000 Lucy 1350882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it interesting that so many retailers are struggling in the current economic climate, yet refuse to stock a decent range of sizes!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1350876 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 05:00:57 +0000 Marley 1350876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's disgusting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1350864 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 04:03:24 +0000 thimblelina 1350864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find this very frustrating too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1350860 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 03:55:35 +0000 Adelfa 1350860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know. I was sized out of Angie's A-line denim skirt, which brought back such memories and which would have really worked for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1350851 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 03:45:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1350851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is crazy. &nbsp;Unless I am mistaken, a 40 is an 8 or 10 which is far from a large size. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sized-out-ugh#post-1350838 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 03:37:50 +0000 annagybe 1350838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So tonight I had time to kill before my event. I decided to browse Totokaelo as it was nearby. I just wanted to see what they had in stock, see if there was anything worth breaking my shopping moratorium. There was very, very little in my size. And the way they set up their website, it was never in stock in my size. They had lots of gorgeous Acne Studios jackets, the largest size was a 38, I'm a 40 in that brand.<br />I'm know I'm at the top end in a lot of designer stuff, but really?!?! I guess I did save my hard earned dollars. </p>
