ummm, your size has always been there, genius. It just used to be a 4 (you are a 4P) and then it became a 2 then a 0 then a 00 and now apparently a 000.

Yeah I'm smaller than 110 and your height. You aren't that tiny.

Ummm...yes she is.

Well I'm smaller and don't think I'm that tiny. I've always been able to wear jcrew just had to wear a 00 or 0. No 000 needed.

I don't get it. I feel like my clothes from 10 years ago and from now from Jcrew are cut about the same, but maybe I'm only buying limited pieces (mostly skirts actually). Waist measurement is the same on the size 8 from 9 years ago as the one I bought last year (I know because I have them clipped to the same skirt hanger)- both relatively same material- neither stretch jersey.

How did I know this thread would turn into a humblebrag competition?

We get it. So many of you are impossibly tiny.

I'm a 14 in current Ann Taylor sizes.

Not only a humble brag session but a chance to slam all of the fatties, too. DC is filled with such intelligent, supportive, women. Ugh!

Your remark is a proof we need vanity sizes. No one mentioned fatties, but you got offended anyways.

I don't know.... I'm 34, 5'7 around 125lb and wear size 2/small, European 36, pretty much consistently everywhere, since high school. I might wear size 4 in designer clothing. I really don't feel that the sizes changed all that much. My size 36 jeans from 20 years ago still fit me, although a bit tight but that's because I have 2 kids and my body is different.
