Sizing has changed since then?
Yes, to preserve the egos of an increasingly heavy costumer base. In addition, sizes are not consistent in the fashion industry; I have a closet full of clothes from size 6 to 10.
Anyone who sews clothing is very aware of the size inflation. Patterns have used the same sizing standard for generations. So, while I purchases clothes of sizes 6 to 10, I have to make clothes of size 14 to fit.
“Sizing has changed since then?”
Oh, dear ... yes, it has. I was going through a box of old sewing patterns from the ‘60s and ‘70s the other day. The size said one thing; reality said another. They now live at the local thrift shop.
