I was thinking about this today. I was wearing a size 12/14 in 1987 when I was 16 and I weighed 8st (a BMI of 17:eek:)
Today I wear a 14 and am nearer 13st. My clothes back then fitted so have sizes got bigger in the last 23 years? They must have.
Def they have. I wore an 8 in the 90s (they didn't do 6s then) & I was a 24 inch waist (I might have been 22 can't remember, a tailor (uniform fitting) did remark on how tiny it was).
Now 8s are like 12s were then.
I miss my skinny underweight figure:(0
