Old Navy is just made of fail. I'm 5'4" and built totally solid-healthy-average from the waist down, and I am too skinny to fit into their size 4, which is the smallest thing they carry. I used to, about three years ago, without having gained or lost any significant weight. I don't think they actually make clothes for people. They just make them to look pretty on clothes hangers.

I very much agree with your point on retro beauty, too. Except back then they built clothes that made that extra curviness look better - not worse - clothes that made girls wish they were curvier because they'd look hotter, and they DID, and I don't understand why that mentality can't come back because clothing design could use more of that and less of the styles that only look good on starving models.
