    12 years ago I was a size 5/6 at about 130lbs. My goal this time is about 135. At the rate that the sizes are dropping I will be a size 4 at that weight. I remember being a super tight 10 at 155lbs back in 1994. I am a 10 now at 162 and it isn't even tight. My frame is still the same. When did vanity sizes start to come into play?

    ha ha ha ha
    this same thing happened to me.
    In 1985, I weighed about 125 and wore a size 9
    today, I weigh about 140 and wear a 2, sometimes a 4.

    Seriously, I don't know where people smaller than me are getting their clothes b/c I'm not that small.

    If you sew clothing it's easier to see the progression b/c my pattern size is the "real" size. :P
    here's a wiki article about vanity sizing in the US
