indeed size creep is crazy these days. Ann Taylor (which I like and often fits me) is down to a 00 for the smallest sizes... what's next? I'm only 5 feet tall and relatively thin as well, so I'm almost always on the lowest edge of fitting into anything, even petites (I'm already relegated to kids jeans, not even Gap fits me anymore and hardly anyone else goes even close to small enough). If sizes creep much more I won't be able to find anything that fits. The funny thing is that Ann Taylor goes out of their way to talk about how if a size fits you in the spring line, the same one will fit in the fall line... ummm yeah right, that's why stuff I have from a few years ago, the smallest size was a 2?
