A size 6 is now plus size in the fashion world

A size 6 is not what it used to be. I buy vintage and I know. If you fit a size 6 that was manufactured in 1970, the size 6 made today is going to be very, very big on you.

I was just shopping the other day, trying to find a petite size zero or even a 2; girls size 12 are similar, but who wants to walk around wearing glitter, lollipops and unicorns? :(

My wife has the same problem. Despite being 30-years old and having borne me two sons, she remains very small. About 5'1" and 95 lbs. Nothing "adult" fits her at all. We either have to look in the very limited petite section or the age-innapropriate juniors' or children's section for clothes that fit her. Yes, she has t-shirts with glitter and butterflies. But, at least they fit!

WTF is with the "size" thing anyway. They have started making these damn droopy blue jeans for men that are "Relaxed Fit" so they droop off your butt and balloon around the thighs. Try riding your horse in those bloomers, they'll chafe you to death.

Since everything is made in China, maybe we ought to straighten them out about the shape of the occidental human. My research lab over to the Wal-Mart lot has also convinced me that many Americans should not be allowed to leave their homes. Why the hell are we all dressing like ragamuffins?
