Frustrated at H&M. Only size Large?

I went in to buy a tube top.  I wear them all freaking summer long and they're like 6 bucks.  They had white, pink pattern, blue stripe, and black.  At least 50 tops on the rack.  ALL of them, aside from one, which was a medium, were size Large.

Seriously? 

Now I know that the stores get the inventory in that is the appropriate size given the demographic, but Annapolis is not a place with all Large.  

So, if anyone goes to an H&M, finds a tube top in a small, in black, I'll pay you for it, and the shipping. Heck, maybe an XS.  I don't even know because I couldn't even try them on. 

Bah.

Re: Frustrated at H&M. Only size Large?

  • You're skinny.  We get it. 

    please honey- do get over yourself. lol 

  • Have you tried F21 for their tube tops? I got one there a few years ago, the price was similar. I haven't checked to see if they have any for this season, but maybe you'll have better luck with the sizing?
  • Has it occurred to you that there were other sizes, but because of the Annapolis "skinny demographic," they were already sold out of those sizes? Surely, you were not there the very day they were delivered and put on the rack.

     Also, come on.  It's a tube top. You can get them anywhere. This does seem a little self-ingratiating a post.

  • Well... they're tube tops. I'm assuming the smaller sizes in such a garment tend to go more quickly... 
  • It's H&M.  They have like ten stores in the US.  People from all over are shopping there, not just Annapolis.  (Which, btw, I remember as being kinda large anyway.)

    And ditto MsBlake.  People aren't looking for a tube top to fit loosely.  The same thing happens in every store.  The sweaters that are left over are inevitably the smalls and extra-smalls, b/c people generally like sweaters to fit a little bigger.

  • Skinny people run to the store faster.

    As a skinny person, you should know this.

  • I feel bad for the XL people.

    They should know better than to be shopping for tube tops.
