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 thinThe 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.
Painfully thin: Allie has attracted attention in the past over her weight while she was on American show The CityOne 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.'
