I guess rather than being bitter about it, I find designers/stores/items that work and go with them. Nobody can wear everything out there. Oh well. Find what works and buy it. If you're teeny tiny, try vintage, which was designed for smaller bodies.

Excellent advice on finding what works, no matter what your figure issue is.
I am tall (5'9") and have very large hips/thighs and small-ish mammaries. My bottom often times pushes me into full-fashion, plus size, whatever. I pick and choose what I can tolerate from those lines (because trust, I loathe full elastic waists, high waists, tapering, all that isht)
MamaTrap is 5' tall and she has few issues. I do think, however, that department store petites are geared to mature women.
