No but the article states that a size 6 is now considered a plus size. I am betting that some of the models we grew up with were a 4 or 6.

What they have done with sizes is utterly ridiculous. I have been a size 10 for more than 30 years. Last spring I was buying a new outfit, something I hadn’t done in a number of years. According to the particular line of clothing in this store - I am a 4 or 6. Never in my life have I ever worn that size.

I went to art and design school in the 60s, which had a thriving fashion department. Then, in Vogue magazine and the like, "a perfect size 10" was considered the ideal for models.
