Try, try, on those clothes before buying. Size standards have gone out the window. Actually covid rules still apply and most dressing rooms are not open right now.The bathrooms are but they frown on you trying clothes there!lol. |

Size zero or size 0 is a women's clothing size in the US catalog sizes system. Size 0 and 00 were invented due to the changing of clothing sizes over time (referred to as vanity sizing or size inflation), which has caused the adoption of lower numbers. For example, a 2011 size 0 is equivalent to a 2001 size 2, and is larger than a 1970 size 6 or 1958 size 8. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_zero#:~:text=Size%20zero%20or%20size%200%20is%20a%20women%27s,a%201970%20size%206%20or%201958%20size%208. |

U.S. standard clothing sizes for women were originally developed from statistical data in the 1940s and 1950s. At that time, they were similar in concept to the EN 13402 European clothing size standard, although individual manufacturers have always deviated from them, sometimes significantly. However, as a result of various cultural pressures, most notably vanity sizing, North American clothing sizes have drifted substantially away from this standard over time, and now have very little connection to it. Instead, they now follow the more loosely defined standards known as U.S. catalog sizes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_catalog_sizesAll sizes charted at link. |

When prêt-à-porter became a thing people were much smaller and thinner. They have adjusted the sizes to accommodate the average woman, who is quite large now. One can say they were the same size they wore in high school, but in actuality they really don't.
