April 16; all of the size 0 to 4 summer dresses are sold out. Minirant

Wow; Angie, you're right... I didn't think it was going to be this bad! I went through the racks @ the mall today and pulled anything that was in my size and tried on about 50 things; and all the things I didn't want, other size 0 to 4 girls were falling over them with rabid passion.

The "perfect summer dress" in a size 0 to 4 is gone in mid-april. LOL. >__>

If it's any comfort to you, yesterday I went shopping at Banana Republic. They are having a 25% off sale and guess what--all the size 8s and 10s in any item I might want to try on--missing.

As the old saying goes: "She who hesitates is lost."

And this is a world wide phenomenon. I used to be a fashion buyer - I played my part in the phenomenon! There is one size 0 per store

I went to the Rack with a client on Thursday who is a size 6/8. We did *extremely* well. She bought 4 designer pieces - 70% off. KILLER.

Yes, I had similar luck at the Rack in Chicago recently. Super scores in size 10 jackets (DVF & Nanette Lepore, along with a Paige denim jacket in a size L)! I was surprised, since I usually find smaller sizes to be plentiful (2, 4, 6) but not 10/12s. But maybe it's a different ballgame with designer stuff?

If I lived near a Rack it would be a dangerous situation.

Lynn, I'll bet you'll find some good stuff, if you keep your eyes peeled!

Out your price range and geographic area but I was at Barney's in Seattle on Thursday and saw nothing I liked above a size 6. Felt huge there.

This is why I shop almost exclusively online. I love being in an actual store and touching fabrics, but I'm never there early enough to snag the lone 0 on the rack.

The brick and mortar places I've actually done well at are the outlets. Not the 'nice' outlets that look like regular stores but are in an outlet mall. No, I mean the warehouse looking things that are the repositories for the retail stores unsold items. They seem to be stocked with XS and XXS, 0-4s, and the prices are great.
