    I am a size 4, I borrowed a pair of jeans from a friend they are a size 4, I went shopping I am a size 4. i measured myself and looked at the sizing chart I am a size 4. i dropped 26 pounds to go from a 10 to a 4. So i am a size 4 and proud because I earned that. yes, everyday in my life with everything I wear.

    I think a lot of girls wear whatever brand they need to in order to claim they are a size 0.

    (this, by the way men, is why we are all neurotic about our weight… don’t blame us, don’t even blame supermodels in the media. No, blame our ridiculous clothing sizes and our apparently mathematically challenged designers.)

    thank you for clearing that up for me :)

    I'm a size zero

    Zero being the degree to which I care, and also the degree to which clothing size actually matters

    I LOVE THIS!!! Size Schmize. I have shirts ranging from xxs-large as well... pants size 2-8... It's all crap! I have one pair of jeans that I have had for years and I base how my body is changing on those since I feel my best when I can wear them.

    This post was awesome and so are you :)

    Ditto for me... and yep, you are both awesome. ;-)

    I went to Old Navy yesterday. I walked out with 2 shirts in size small and 1 in size large. In their jeans I am a size 2, but in other brands I am closer to a 6. I am 5'4" and weigh 132 pounds.

    Women clothing sizing is maddening. I'd love to see pants standardized to waist, hip, and inseam measurements.

    Okay, now your a size 1, how do you look? I give up.

    Torrid is a plus size clothing store. They don't do 1x, 2x... they do 1, 2...
    It was meant to be ironic.

    A lot of people talk about this, and I certainly believe it. There wouldn't be so many distressed females if this weren't the case. However, my sizes have always been uniform across the board. When I weighed 182 lbs. I was a size 12 in jeans, a size 12 in dresses, and a size XL in shirts, no matter where I shopped. Now that I weigh 139 lbs, I'm a size 4 in jeans and dresses, and a size small in tops. Maybe my body is strange... I'm sorry I can't sympathize. I'm probably one of those small girls that bothers you so much for being proud of the fact that I dropped a bunch of sizes. :/

    Ummm....all my jeans/dresses/skirts are 8-10. All brands, all cuts, from all stores.

    Having started at a size 22-24.....yeah, I'm a little giddy about that. Sorry if that offends, but.....I'm proud of what I've accomplished.

    I think women will always find some justification to make themselves feel badly about their bodies.

    How about we stop caring what size everybody else is and just worry about whether our own butts can fit into those super kawaii goal jeans we have nailed above our bed like an corporeal symbol of triumph?

    Old Navy jeans sizes run different per jean. I may wear an 18 and it will fit fine then another pair same size -18 (still Old navy brand) and it will be baggy. ????? I love their jeans other than that. It just depends but I will be honest and admit that yes I am in double digits-no need to lie here. Ill be happy to drop to the next size down. hopefully soon....

    :love: I love you OP. Sooo true. I bet the girls that are a "size 2" also cry when they go to try on a size 2 that's too small and need a size 4, thinking they just gained all that weight. A lot of education with some of these girls. Clothing size will vary to whomever made it, and the material!

    Maybe people shouldn't brag about how much weight they've lost on here either 0_0

    Sorry but if I ever get down to a UK size 10 (US 6) I'm gonna stand on my work roof with a tannoy announcing to the world and offering to tattoo the fact onto peoples foreheads.

    Of course people are gonna brag about there "NSV's" it's half the motivation for not getting to eat deep fried cheese anymore

    Yes, Ma'am! The day I slip into jeans with a size that is in the single digits, everyone I come into contact with is going to know.

    And while we're at it........Why do designers seem to think my hips and waist are suppose to be the same size? I've met no woman ever who's hips weren't a bit (if not a lot) larger than her waist.

    Also, Petite is suppose to mean short not tiny........or elderly! I'm 5'3" and buying pants is painful cause I have to search for the petite lengths so I don't trip over the legs. If the average woman inseam 32inches, then why are average pants 34inch inseam?

    That's It! I'm joining a nudest colony!! :)

    It is well known that sizes have inflated since several years ago. Marylin Monroe used to be a size fourteen, and she'd more likely be a size 7 or 8 these days. I would like it a lot more if they just went to a different system across the board. Like, punch in your measurements at a kiosk, and it punches out all the clothes that will fit you and where to find them in the store. Would that really be so hard?

    I remember a few years ago a brand, I think Levi's, had something like this. You'd get measured and they'd find the right jeans for you. At the time I thought it was a cool idea but never got around to it and I have no idea if it still exists.
