Not exactly metric — but somewhat interesting.
More interesting — some of the stores catering to uh, full-sized women, play around with sizes as well. So, a woman who would be a 16 size in a typical store magically turns into a size 8.

Sort of like the Nutri-System TV commercial?
That has already happened from 40 years ago. My wedding dress was a size 12 in 1967. Our youngest daughter wore it at her wedding in 1997 and was a size 2. It was tight on her. So that size 12 is now not even a size 2. Good Lord! How that sounds! LOL A size 2 is what a toddler wears - not a grown woman.
