the zero jeans in department stores are huge, i can never find any that fit me.
well i know certain brands have their own size charts and stuff.. but overall i think the sizes are just getting bigger.

They are getting bigger. I saw a report on the news. They are making sizes bigger so that "bigger" people will not feel bad, and so that they can fit into smaller sizes. I am serous about this. I really saw that on the news.

Definitely. 20 plus years ago, there was nothing smaller than a size 5 and people were skinnier back then. The size 5 was the equivalent to a modern size 0. I´m sure due to the obesity crisis in the US they´ve had to make sizes bigger.

There was actually a report on Good morning america
the other day saying that designers are making clothes bigger but with a smaller size on the tag so that an average size 6 can wear a size 2, and feel good about their self. So you are now a size00. You go girl.

they are just going back to normal. But it still depends on which store you frequent. I have always bought my jeans from the Gap, and I have always worn the same size (always meaning since I stopped growing). I think the size changes are becoming more noticable in smaller sizes than larger sizes though.

yes i totally agree....in america i believe designers are catering to the fact that more and more americans are overweight....when people(especially girls) realize that "hey im a size 5-6 now instead of a 7-8" they are more likely to buy the pair of jeans or whatever item it is.....sneaky designers

i imagine that they ought to cause them to smaller so as that we do not motivate weight problems. no longer saying that you're fat or something yet those who placed on length 17 might want to truly attempt to lose some weight or flow to the girls human beings's area. I frequently placed on length a million, 3, or 5 so it is all diverse. merely try them on formerly you get them.

Not all americans are over weight, and not all of them are over weight by eating, grow up people.
And No they are not getting bigger, its just knowing the right place to shop.
