I do not know why anyone cares about sizes; they are not consistent. One place a size two, yet another place that same actual size will be a 4, yet another place it will be a zero.

A few companies do sizes like men's, Guess is one of them, cannot recall others right now.

Even those are not consistent...my daughter says in some brands that size like that (Miss Me, True Religion, etc) she wears a 25 and others a 28.

Yea, I should have added that in there. I know even with men's clothes (I am a guy for clarification), I have different sizes depending on the brand. Even among the same brand, I can have different sizes.

Same with my wife, even the same brand will have a different size standard for their clothes; a pair of zero in one style of pants, could be the same size as 00 or a 2 in another style of pants.

It doesn'tmatter what size is on the label. Women of all sizes are trained to freak out about it. Some women buy poorly fitting clothing just because it js the wrong "number." There are women who are busty who think getting a bra above D or DD cups automatically means tyey are fat, or slutty, or a porn star when getting a proper fitting bra would be more comfortable and more flattering.

Therare other women who refuse to believe they have changed sizes since age 12 and keep getting tge one they bought, and it looks terrible and causes muffin top and lumps when the right size would look great.

Other people think anything over a certain size is code word for "fat." And that number can range from 6 to anything else.

I think it's pretty silly because at the end of the day no matter if one buys a size x or size radiant, when she goes home, her ass is still the same size.

Besides, this is just a cereal commercial and no one is sizing their clothes like this that I am aware of.
