Clothes are getting bigger

So I'm noticing that manufacturers are making bigger and bigger clothes and labeling them the same size. This has been my experience for all the places I shop. I typically shop at express, banana republic, nordstroms, and white house black market. There are some items that I bought 1-2 years ago that is exactly the same style (some styles are staples and manufacturer's keep for a long time) and I will buy the same size and the new item will come significantly bigger at least an inch larger in all places even if its the same size. So now I'm stuck buying buying the smallest size that each of these manufacturer's have to offer and if I keep losing weight, I'm thinking I won't be able to buy in these places anymore unless I buy online and get 00 or have it tailored. Mind you I'm not scary skinny. I'm 5'4'' and 114 lbs. I'm at healthy weight so this is really frustrating. Has anyone noticed this besides me?
I know about vanity sizing but usually the comparison is from like 60's and 70's to sizing now but I'm talking about a much much shorter time frame.
