Size Zero?

As a highly cliche Americanized New Zealand teenager, I hear all these phrases that are not often used here and one of them has bothered me for quite a while.

Size Zero. What does that mean? Is it a general idea of a petite body, or an actual size of woman's clothing?
If it is an actual range of size is it a common phrase, like if you looked at a clothing label it would say 'Size 0' on it?

We have size zero here, it's for babies of about 6-8 months. Is that saying something to you? It's sure screaming at me.
