[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a size 6/8 and that's M so I've been told I'm midsized.  Literally medium[/quote]

The naming conventions are so strange. I wore sz4/S bottoms my whole life and was called “tiny” by everyone, could refer to model photos to figure out how most things would look on me (although this might be more about build and proportion). After kids I seem to have settled into a sz6/28 ie Medium, but I don’t really feel “mid-sized”. I just feel small-ish. I have a friend who wears 29s (in the segment of NYC that cares), but it surprises everyone and she is fit and looks small. I think it’s a combination of vanity sizing (I keep hearing about how “Well Marilyn Monroe was a sz 12!” but like…look at her? That’s not a sz 12 of today) and the fact that language evolves, so illusory truths become truth if enough people participate (“chaise lounge” etc)[/quote]

Marilyn Monroe was only 5’5” tall and she was a size 6 in today’s standards which is pretty curvy.

Now, if she were 511 with the same body shape, she would bea size 10/12[/quote]

Yeah, her waist was like 24". She was curvy, but also tiny. [/quote]
