    You've probably noted my small size woes in other threads... the last time I bought undies (I wanted everyday ones and my preference is for cotton low cut briefs with very flat elastic) I had to go to the kids section for them.... brands like Hanes/ Fruit of the Loom etc are now a bit too large even in the XS size, which is rarely ever carried in the stores anyway..... I ended up buying kids, 2 different brands, even in those the sizing was way different so one pack was 12s and the other 14s. Interestingly I find that kids tend to not only be more the right size, they fit they way I want them to... I like underwear that is low cut enough to not stick out of my jeans, but that still has enough fabric over the butt to go all the way around... I hate undies that cut across my butt cheeks. In womens "briefs" tend to be HUGE and come up way high - granny panties, but hipsters, hi-cuts or bikinis don't properly cover my bum. Kids briefs do the job right for me.

    So it wasn't just me when I bought a trio of underpants recently...xs was too big for me and these were lower cut cotton briefs. It didn't used to be like that.

    Pam, the dept. store lingerie sections did have the underwear ..but I was looking for a simple camiole slip-dress for sleeping. The more "conversative" dept. stores didn't even have that. Just slips clearly for wearing under dresses. And flannel wear which I find binds around me.

    The LLS by me is owned by 2 young women. Maybe 30? No old ladies there.
    I think their parents bankrolled this venture and it is very successful.
    Based on your comments, I am glad my azz is big in proportion to the rest of me. I wear Hanky Panky one size fits all thongs, but they do have hipsters, too. And Le Mystere thongs. I hate underwear in general, and my main ocncern is that it doesn't show through my clothing.

    The only place I've shopped fro bras and undies for probably 15 years or so is Victoria Secret. Mostly because for me the are more comfortable than the other brands.

    Shootingstar, not sure if they're your type of stores, but I love the cami slip-dresses from Gap body. They have really nice soft fabric but they have some pretty simple designs available, less lingerie-design and more loungewear. Another option is the gilligan by gilligan o'malley line at Target.

    I don't know about Canada, but in the US sleepwear and lingerie would be two different things. I would not look in the lingerie area for what you are describing. It would be normal to find slips for wearing under dresses in lingerie.
