If I had a bit of money to invest and a more business-oriented brain (I'm couldn't be farther away from that mindset), I'd love to start my own clothing line.
My clothing line would cater towards smaller and shorter women and men. Short and small women and men have a very difficult time finding clothes that fit them right. They swim in all of the excess fabric. Petite women are stepping all over their pants bottoms. And god forbid if you're a small size, too -- you've been sized out of most stores. I know that pain -- as a small, petite woman, I've been sized out of many stores by now.
I've been sized out of the Limited, Express, and Old Navy, when they got rid of their XXS size. I remember when their size 1 was way too tiny for me once I got my adolescent growth spurt. That was at the turn of the century, 1999-2000. It's 2007, and not only is their size 1 gigantic in the waist, but their 0 now is, too! Since 2000, I have gained two inches and roughly fifteen pounds. It makes no sense.
