J.Crew Defends Controversial 000 Size Addition

J.Crew raised a few eyebrows last week when it introduced a women's size 000. Shopping news site Racked noted the new size would be the equivalent to a size XXXS and referenced a commenter who said the physical product featured a 23" waist. A spokesperson for J.Crew defended the addition, telling Today.com, "We're simply addressing the demand coming from Asia for smaller sizes than what we carried. Our sizes typically run big and the Asia market tends to run small ... To further put into perspective, these sizes add up to the smallest possible percentage of our overall sizing assortment."
