That's so annoying and frustrating. And then the "curves are great!" advocates say "Oh, Marilyn Monroe was a size 12!" when really she was probably closer to today's size 6. Vanity sizing certainly isn't helping people learn healtheir habits, like portion control. People would be surprised how much less they could live with, and they wouldn't have to hit the gym like madwomen all the time for it, either. I wish they'd standardize women's sizes like men's, so you buy a size 34 shirt if you have a size 34 bustline or something.
