Or are they making clothes bigger, but claiming they are the same size as previous years? I am a naturally thin person, but because of my long limbs, I can usually fit into a large shirt and not look like a child pretending to be an adult. Now, I have to drop to a medium yet I have actually put on weight, just not around my gut. Wtf?

Oh, old navy is totally the worst at sizing. I haven't shopped there in years, but even back then I was shocked at what size i could fit into.

I'm not sure if you're serious.. Either way, vintage sizes are about 4 sizes smaller than today's sizes.. So that size 10 would be like today's size 5-6... Vanity sizing.

Edit: Apparently Ms. Monroe wore a size 14, which is about a size 8 today. Today's size 14 would've been like a size 20 in the '50s.

I have found Rock Revivals to be true to size and they fit me the best. Rather than having 20 pair of jeans that i can't fit...I just have 4 pair of the rock revivals and my closet is less cluttered because of it.

I was just kidding. And wow to the 14 being a 20. That's crazy!
