J.Crew is being called out on "vanity sizing". The store with already unrealistic sizes, has done it again by launching a size 000. Some are saying its may just be a old tailor trick, where they put a smaller size on the tag to appeal more to the consumer. Others say this is out -right madness.
Defenders argue that this is a great thing for petite women, but J.Crew already has a petites line that offers a size 00.They go on to say "The triple-zero size fits anyone with a 23-inch waist". Boyishly built Victoria (Posh Spice) Beckham, who boasts she has to have all her clothes altered to fit her particularly petite frame. I just cant belive that. Yes, Mrs. Victoria si very petite But i dont belive she needs to alter anything. Have you ever brought a pair of J.Crew jeans?, their a joke.
A 23-inch waist Is 11 inches smaller than that of the average American woman — is about the same circumference as a basketball.
J. Crew has denied that its new XXXS triple-zero line has anything to do with vanity sizing. The retailer noted its XXXS clothes account for the smallest percentage of its overall sizing assortment and are only available on JCrew.com and in its Hong Kong store.
I mean I belive this is just to get people talking about J.Crew, Because come on, J.Crew is not a Brand that people go around talking about.

If you love this post–or just agree that vanity sizing is a symptom of a retail-world gone mad–Facebook it, Tweet it or share it. I belive this is going to hurt our the way our chilldren think. "I am a grown woman, there is no way I would want to be a size 0, even more a Triple zero.
