Audrey Hepburn Pants

I am dismayed that Gap's fall line features images of itty bitty little Ms. Audrey Hepburn in her classic black outfit. Erm, am I the only American who realizes that the Audrey pant only works for petite anorexic women? Audrey Hepburn would have worn today's equivalent of a -2, dammit. Chic may be skinny, but I live in Philadelphia where most of us have a BMI in the fat or obese range. I wish Gap would have produced a pant that more women would feel comfortable wearing. That, or use a healthy-sized model to advertise their skinny black pant. At least then we normal people would have realistic expectations of ourselves when we look in a mirror.
