Sizing for real people
90% of people are 12 and above you promote far to many brands that do not even go over 12 - 14 that can crush self confidence and when arrives is never the size it says. Sizing charts need to be accurate.
Stop excusing brands for people too small we are woman not children.

Maybe the styles that go to a certain size may not suit the larger build. Not body shaming just being truthful. Dress to your size, it always looks much more stylish.

Seconded! But yes, please do not stock less of the smaller sizes, or I can’t purchase from here either.
We just need more larger sizes and a wider range of models. Possibly a model for different bands of sizing? So there would still be a size ~8 model, but then there could also be a size 14 model that appears when you've selected a larger size, etc. This would go along well with another suggestion that automatically picks the right size based on the measurements you've added to your profile, 'cause then each product can default to the most similar model.
Also, I'm not a child just because I'm under that size range... What kind of hateful logic is that?

They do show 2 different sized models on some products, just not often enough.

I’m tiny but I agree this is critical. Please do not stock less small sizes though or I can’t purchase from here.

Very few products available for women 5 foot and below.

Disagree. I am not in the slim category but to call women sized 10 and below as 'children' is extremely offensive and disdainful- it's also body shaming. And 90% is a gross exaggeration- I see plenty of very slim tall ectomorphic body types and they've just as much right to wear amazing clothes as the rest of us.
Crush self-confidence? Plenty of options these days in larger sizes and I've been in the same predicament but managed to find lots of items I'm very pleased with. Of course I'd love to be able to wear everything but everybody has a different shape.
No need to hate on thin people and brands. Just ask for more options extending beyond 12.

Agreed Melanie, this is the 21st century is it not, and social inclusivity is a standard of our times, anything other than inclusivity is archaic and out of touch with reality. The models themselves should be a broad depiction of reality instead of only ultraslim 5'10". There is nothing wrong with including slim 5'10" as long as other body types, appearances etc are also included, in clothing sizes and models!
