Writes a reader: "What is UP with stores—Steven Alan and APC so far, I'm assuming this trend doesn't stop there—now only putting sizes S and XS out on the floor? Really? Is this a space issue? Vanity sizing? Did their target demographic shrink? Do I really have to ask for help if I want something that will fit my giant, medium-sized ass? WTF?" We haven't seen this disturbing trend anywhere else, but it does remind us of American Apparel's bizarro sizing, in which a medium skirt fits a size two and an extra-small skirt fits around your forearm.
