Sure are! If I could only slim down to size 2! There are some wonderful leftovers in the smallest and biggest sizes. The industry's taking care of this problem, though, making the clothes bigger and bigger every year. I usually wear size 6 (been 4 for a while, but can't keep it now sitting all day) and lately have even gained a little weight. I few days ago some size 4 skirt was falling off me! Maybe in another 5 years I'll become a 2 without losing any weight at all! They want us to feel good and buy more!

Thank you for saying that! I was afraid I was paranoid about the sizes being different lately...Whew. I can rest easy again!
Well, this news won't make most women happy, but that's the way it is...
I don't get wrapped up in my size, I just noticed things fitting diffrently lately...all of a sudden I think I'm getting shorter because the pants all need to be hemmed about a flippin foot and I am 5'6", that is not that short The manufacturers just make things longer these days...the temr "these days" is a red flag for "I'm getting old"

I know. It's like they all got the memo the average woman became a supermodel with 5-feet legs all of a sudden.
I'm catching myself using "these days" more often, too - bad, bad; sad, sad...

This may relate also:
Besides a possible marketing scheme I'm unaware of, the industry standard on much of the clothing manufactured overseas has an error margin of +/- 10%. Are your findings consistently that clothing by size is running larger?
I got a direct message to a post about someone I was looking for last year. I've been stewing on it all day because it was someone I thought was dead. I just sent off a response. I hope I was wrong.
This would be so nice...his whole family were great people.
