I am 5 foot 1 and 114 lbs, muscular. Apparently now take size zero in a surprising number of brands. Definitely vanity sizing. Size 2 was my go to for years...and still is, in certain brands.
I'm 5'1", about 116-117, and wear a 4 or 6 (petite). I have wide shoulders/back and hips but even so no way I could squeeze into a zero or even 2 (except like Loft pants maybe). I usually can't even zip the back on size 4 dresses! I'm also muscular (though not a body builder) but am much bigger than the number on the scale might suggest.
PP here and this reminds me I generally avoid Petites for tops because my shoulders, chest, ribcage are too big...it is like I am short but with taller person proportions? I am medium framed, not small boned. I generally wear a small in tops because of this but again, at JCrew and similar, the smalls are huge on me these days. And I think I am only a zero in pants due to my very narrow hips. My measurement are like 35-26-34 or some bizarre like that...
