Size Zero? - Comments

Now there is also a size 00 and a size -1. Yes. They are sizes in women's clothing.
It's scary that it's come to that.

Eh, sizes are different everywhere. I wear a size zero (my mother hates me for it, she really does) but it's not "Holy crap, make that girl eat a cheeseburger!" skinny; it's just petite.

UK and US sizes are 4 numbers different.
So, size 4 in UK is size 0 in US.
I've seen size 0 clothes and they look small...But not that small...

Size 0 is a size, yes. But it's not for babies. You're right in thinking it's petiteness.

And I hardly think it's that big of a deal that it's for infants in New Zealand. Everywhere has different sizes. And they mean nothing, except to those who are vain.

I wear a size 3. Only a few sizes bigger than a zero. Does that mean that something's screaming at you that I'm anorexic or something to that extent? Because I'd like to clear that up right now if that's what you think- I'm not. Not at all.

It's a matter of height and waist size. Sure, some people will strive to fit a size 0, but that has nothing to do with what it's labelled. If the smallest size labelled here were a say... 14, people would still strive to fit that, no matter what number it's categorized as. Just has to do with that person's own personal problems or feelings.

It's a size.
I'm in the UK, and the smallest size we generally sell is a six, which I think is pretty equal to a zero...
Although, everyone's all "OMG, zero is disgusting". Not really. If you're small boned, it's not a particularly tiny size. Thin, yes, but on someone of, like, 5'2" with a small frame, you wouldn't think "ew, walking skeleton".
Someone said to me that size zero jeans were for a 23" waist, which is about equivalent to a six over here. But obviously "size zero" has a lot of impact.

A UK size 10 used to be made for a 22" waist, so sizes are getting bigger. My mum was a US 5-7 30 years ago, but when she went there a few years ago, she discovered that she's a 2.
