Search Results: comparing sizes

I know U. As. Sizes are seemingly 00 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ... but this is not accurate based on world scale sizing. It only works in U. S. Which is basically useless when comparing it to the rest of the world sizing - still basically beginnng at 6 or 4 equivalent to the old U. S. numbering system. The u. s. does not start with the same size but at smaller numbers- People just got heavier. If you compare European sizes now, to the way the u. s. used to be, Size 6 is still relatively early on in the numbers.. Probably equivalent to a u. s. 2?



When size 6 was small in the u. s. what size woujd it be today?

If 6 was small... why did they begin at 6.. why not zero? Or 1 or 2- to leave rio for extra small.

what wouid a 00 in the U. S. be in Europe? Or in1950 in the U. S.

Its difficult enough funding clothing that is the sane size between different labels. But add n different labels and different countries and it’s impossible!

i like shooping at vintage shops , or I like vintage clothing while I hate shopping. I certainly don’t want to have to try on ten different syzesxjist to find one size.. The clothing is from all over the place and different companies many no longer exist. It is impossible to go by the size that is written and know what I’m ending up with based on the current 00 - 16 common sizes , sizing system. It wouid be great to look at a number and think ok I know what that actually is.

What does it all mean

why not just do inches like in men’s clothing. Why do we need to be a size that encompasses many sizes and varies country to country, label to label?
