Banana Republic began offering its "00" duds on its Website in the Spring. Next Fall Nicole Miller, a designer for Banana Republic, will introduce a size tentatively called "Subzero" for women with 23 l/.2 inch waists and 35 inch hips. The less than zeros arrive as Americans are getting bigger. According to standard size measurements, the average 155 lb woman should be wearing a size 16, but thanks to ' vanity' sizing she's probably wearing a size 10 or 12. Women want to believe they are a size 6 because the label says so.
Are you the new "thin" "subzero," or do you prefer the more curvy look. (Paris Hilton buddy, Nicole Ritchie would probably fit into the new "subzero" category, but looks emaciated, even though she's only about 5'4")
