[QUOTE="Shari, post: 339560, member: 1848"] I'm sure sizes have changed, actually. The fact that Marilyn Monroe was a 10 is supposed to make people feel good today, that you don't have to be a skinny minnie to look good, etc. Great. Except that a 10 back in her day was half the size it is today! lol Sewing pattern sizes haven't changed, that I'm aware of, and I'm like a 14 or 16 there, where I wear an 8 (give or take) in clothes off the shelf (pants - I've always had really big shoulders so shirts always have to be L unless they're like my turtleneck today and loose fitting to begin with). I tried on a pair od jeans that actually admitted to being "Vanity Sized". I wore 5's in those. Oh yeah...made me feel SO MUCH BETTER ABOUT MYSELF. (not) Its just really, really strange. And sort of pathetic. Are we really that driven by the number in our pants??? [/QUOTE]
