I don't understand sizes anymore. There's a size zero, which I didn't even know that they had. It must stand for. 'Oooohhhh my God, you're thin!'

    Hi, size zero came along when all the other measurements became more generous. It used to be a size 2 twenty years ago. I sell vintage clothing on ebay, and all the sizes are off. For instance, as a teenager I wore a size 13 jeans, and that's now an 11, or even a 9 for some manufacturers. It's supposed to make us feel skinnier.

    By the same standard, if you hear about Marilyn Monroe or the old beauties wearing a size 8/10/12/14, in today's sizes that's like a 4/6/8/10 lalala.
