I think they do this for the specific reason that they only want model skinny types in their clothing. They are kind of discriminating while at the same time marketing the brand only to slim teens. I think they just dont want to make their clothes bigger because they dont want big kids in their clothes. They are targeting a different segment of the market the skinny kids.

It's because they're big companies... promoting eating disorders. They get more money from skinny kids who buy all their stuff.

its the style. kids today want to be skinny. so clothes shops make clothes to fit them. i am of average size. good weight for my size. and usually i'd fit into a small or medium tshirt..in these places i have to get an xlarge just to have a comfy fit. it only perpetuates the idea that girls have to be super skinny. most of the jeans i cant fit into, because they are for really tall skrawny girls with no butts. slim they say.

I have no idea. I have many times wondered the same thing. This is why we have some teen girls (and boys) starving themselves just to fit into the "cool clothes".

they think only skiny ppl should wear their clothes. they think that bigger ppl will disgrace their clothes. their models are So skiny so they think their customers should be too. its so discrimiating. im not small and skinny so i cant fit into the clothes i like from them. (plus theyre too expensive.) so stick up for the non-skinny ppl and dont buy their clothes. peace.

they have tiny clothes becuase they are targeting rich kids who have the money to go to the gym and look good. and for small people like that they dont have many places to go to get clothes because most other places dont have thier size. you may think these stores are discriminating against bigger people but small people feel all the other store discriminate against them.

cause of the models that wear their clothes
11 :
they make them small so people will want to fit in the clothes, and not gain more weight, its an incentive to lose weight.

Because they are so dumb, and stuck on the fact that you have to be stick skinny to do ANYthing in this image obsessive world.

Truthfully, i think that most people are making clothes for obese people. All of these stores are really helping out the people who aren't obese. Im skinny and its really hard to find proper fitting clothes because now, the small is like a medium. But yes, they are promoting eating disorders. They need to be more considerate. By the way no offense whatsoever of obese people.

Because the clothes were originally made for migets! No Offense!
15 :
Because they are made for little junior high kids, not adults. The sizes are "junior" sizes, not regular.

Most stores are targeting the “average†sized people, in this case, teens, so these stores want to target the petite people most stores ignored all these years. I’m 5’4†and I weight 100 pounds. AND NO, I DO NOT HAVE EATING DISORDERS. I do eat four times a day (smaller meals) but fortunately, I’m blessed with a high metabolism. I also run so I have to eat a lot of carb. Frankly speaking, I had the hardest time finding clothes that fitted me until a few years ago when stores started to carry smaller clothes. Before you jump into a conclusion that these stores are promoting eating disorders, think about the people who are just short and slim. Regarding prices -- I personally think that their prices are pretty good, but then I’m used to spend a lot more on alterations.
