Dress size NSV and a question

Yesterday I went shopping to for a new spring dress. I was super excited to pick up a size 10 and have it fit like it was tailor made for me. In January I was definitely a size 14 pushing 16. Total win!

My question is this: how do you count dress sizes? By that I mean is the difference between a women's size 14 and a women's size 10 2 sizes or 4? This is just one of the many reasons why I hate US clothing sizes.

    Since women's dress sizes run, 2,4,6,8,10,12, 14, etc. I would say it's two dress sizes. They say that every dress size is equal to about 10 pounds of weight, but I think that's subjective because we all carry our weight differently...

    Either way, you are rockin it! Good job!

    congrats

    track your measurements (cm/in) waist, hips, bust - clothes sizes depend on how you carry your weight and on the shop

    :happy:
