[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wedding dress was a size 6 in 1998. I wear a size 4 today in 2014. I weigh about 20 more pounds. Its definitely strange. [/quote] Wedding dresses (especially designer ones) generally run on "couture" sizing, even now. So most people wear about 2 sizes larger in most brands of wedding dresses and some brands of bridesmaid dresses than they do in street clothes. Which is crazy because if you think of high fashion models, they have to be a size 0-2 in couture, not in mall clothes. So then I think about how tiny they must actually be, because a woman who's 5'10" and a size 2 in regular brands is pretty small anyway, and my mind is immediately blown. And yes, rather than J. Crew just fixing their vanity sizing issues, they just decided to make a size 000. I guess they think that we're all fooled into thinking we're all really size 6's when 25 years ago we would have been size 10's.[/quote]
