The City star Allie Crandell has been banned from a popular American fashion retailer after readers complained about her skinny frame.

Revolve clothing featured Crandell on their online boutique looking painfully thin as she models a collection by BCBG Max Azria.
One image in particular showing her tiny waist and arms sparked outrage among shoppers.

 Weighty issue: Allie Crandell models a black leather dress by BCBG on the Revolve website, but has been banned after readers complained she was too thin


One shopper wrote: 'As a normal, healthy woman with a healthy body type. How can I possibly imagine what this dress would look like on me when it is shown on an emaciated frame?'

Revolve have promised not to feature Crandell on their site until she puts on weight.
The spokesperson said: 'We are working closely with both the model and her agent to get her to a healthier size


'She won't be appearing in any of our new product batches or in any of our fashion editorial photos moving forward until the issue is adequately addressed.

'We have been attempting to respect the privacy of the model in question while dealing with the issue on our end.'

In 2008, Crandell became a part of the MTV reality show The City.
In one episode, fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone accused her of being too thin before the model goes on to defend herself by insisting she eats healthily.

Although she played a major role in the first season, she has only appeared twice in the second half.
She also starred in Shayne Ward's 2006 No Promises video.

Crandell confirmed via her personal Twitter account that she will no longer be appearing on the show, stating, 'I'm done with the City forever.'

I thought that first picture was photoshopped of a girl to look like a Bratz doll. You know, a huge creepy head and a tiny body?

THIS SO FUCKING MUCH! I stared for the longest time before determining that that was actually a human being. Bitch needs to eat something.

She's very doll faced/baby faced though.

MTE.

Then I realized it couldn't be a photoshopped image and just went D:

I thought it was a photoshopped Leighton Meester photo.

chrisgold 24th-Dec-2010 08:55 am (UTC)
I was just scrolling down and thought someone was being mean to a Leighton Meister picture. I have no idea how anyone can find being that thin attractive.
deranged_queen 24th-Dec-2010 08:57 am (UTC)
I thought it was an ugly wax version of Leighton Meester. :|
bluekrinkle 24th-Dec-2010 11:46 am (UTC)
I thought it was an alien looking Barbie doll. :/
lovely_tunes 24th-Dec-2010 12:18 pm (UTC)
there was the same reaction on The Fashion Spot. noone believed that she really looked like that.
xscars_ 24th-Dec-2010 12:19 pm (UTC)
Same. I thought it was some type of Barbie.

She is still all over the site, looking deathly:

Ew.
bewitchedxsoul 24th-Dec-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
Wow. I have to agree with the first shopper quoted in the article, but I do hope that this woman gets the helps these pictures suggest she needs.
xvivaemily 24th-Dec-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
she looks like an alien
mclachlan 24th-Dec-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
Something's wrong with those photos. They seem to be missing THE OTHER HALF OF THE MODEL JESUS FUCK HOW IS SHE ALIVE?
lilgoala 24th-Dec-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
That first photo can't be real.
lovaajn 24th-Dec-2010 05:51 am (UTC)
love that puss!
sinfulroad 24th-Dec-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
She looks like a doll in that first pic.
barakat_anon 24th-Dec-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
She really does look too thin, but I don't understand the complaints because that doesn't stop me from liking and wanting the black dress in question.
_xxtom 24th-Dec-2010 05:10 am (UTC)
The comments on the site were probably like a lot of the comments on here. The people on the site saw that people were more focused on how gross she looked instead of the product, therefore they took it down.
cabernet 24th-Dec-2010 05:44 am (UTC)
Right? I seriously want it.
vaegue 24th-Dec-2010 05:53 am (UTC)
The complaints are worded weirdly, but I understand to an extent. I follow models and fashion, and there are models (I'm ashamed to admit) that I find too big for high fashion. But this girl is seriously way too skinny. She's en par with Freja in last years Chanel FW show. That was scary.
bluesforgotten 24th-Dec-2010 06:01 am (UTC)
IA with you. There is a right size for high fashion. Some women are too big, and some are too small - like this chick. It's scary skinny.
overandonewith 24th-Dec-2010 07:40 am (UTC)
now im morbidly curious as to how freja looked in that show
metatrix 24th-Dec-2010 03:57 pm (UTC)
It might not stop people liking the dress, but it might stop people from buying it, because they think they're too fat for it.

I often see stuff on super skinny/flat-chested models and think 'no way will that look good on me'. But when I saw celebs like the Kardashians, etc, wearing the bandage dresses and saw how flattering they were on an hour-glass frame, I went out and bought one.
hunnichild 24th-Dec-2010 05:08 am (UTC)
I'm pretty sure Kate said "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". And that girl looks like every alien I've ever seen in a movie/tv show.
kaattee 24th-Dec-2010 03:01 pm (UTC)
came here to say this exact thing. pretty sure i will anyway. A+.
oasisfan 24th-Dec-2010 05:46 pm (UTC)
It's an old weight watchers saying. kate didn't' come up with it.
hunnichild 24th-Dec-2010 11:04 pm (UTC)
I know she didn't come it up with it. The OP was referring to an interview she did where she said it and an uproar ensued.
bcain1992 24th-Dec-2010 05:08 am (UTC)
wow, she's like a lollipop.
numbedtoe 24th-Dec-2010 05:08 am (UTC)
jebus no way does she not have an eating disorder. Sad.
numbereleven 24th-Dec-2010 05:08 am (UTC)
I'm about to eat some frito chilli pie.
voltronii 24th-Dec-2010 05:12 am (UTC)
I'm about to eat some more pizza and cinammon sticks. And I won't even feel bad, because pizza > being skinny.
numbereleven 24th-Dec-2010 05:14 am (UTC)
Dude, there is a whole hell of a lot of things that taste better than skinny feels.
mcwicca 24th-Dec-2010 05:20 am (UTC)
I have a container or cinnastix frosting in my purse right now, just in case.
richbrowneyes 24th-Dec-2010 05:20 am (UTC)
When I was a kid whenever we'd go to Sonic I would eat a Frito Chili Pie and a Cherry Slushie. I was in my teens before I tried anything else.
