Aritzia Effortless Pant vs Madewell The Perfect Vintage Jean

“I’m 5ft3. Everything has always been big on me so I used to alter everything but with time I’ve found some brands that actually fit. - Levi’s for Jeans since they have so many waist, length, and cut options. Their sizing is different between cuts I feel so it’s worth just trying them all on in store to figure out what combos work for you. - Aritzia carries XXS and 00 for many items. The effortless pant has a shortened length option. I 100% recommend getting them second hand to save $$. - Princess Polly, Pacsun and Brandy for shorts, skirts and dresses. I would size up on Princess Polly. Brandy pants are usually too long though. - Zara is hit or miss really depends on the item. Some fit great, some too small, some wayyyy too big. - A bit bougie but for a nice dress or pant Zadig & Voltaire and Zimmerman fit amazing and have so many sizes. I assume since they’re French and Australian they size for smaller bodies. Though they’re not all the best brands to support, they’re the only ones I can trust that fit me, but I do my best to buy second hand when available :)”

“Honestly I go for Madewell and avoid their curvy styles, and stick to their Perfect Vintage line. I have the same proportional issue on my lower half and am around the same size and height. Their “curvy” styles have reduced in quality because they use a good amount of polyester/elastane and increased it, but their perfect vintage has remained the same in my experience!”
