well, the sizes were less generous in the 1970s. So while today , at over 70 , I wear a size two jeans (I'm pretty
short) , then I would have needed an 8 or even a 10 .

If 5'2" and 110 lbs was a 7, what were a 5 and a 3?? I know people were smaller then, but were that many women under 5 feet and 100 pounds?
I was 5'5 and 100 lbs, lots of my friends were around the same.

At the moment, they're the same. They've gone up and down in intervening years, but right now, I'm 42, and in the same pants size I wore as a college freshman. I'm a pear shaped build...weight gain and loss tends to occur in my hips, butt, and thighs. My shirt size has never noticeably changed, but my pants size has gone up and down over the years. At the moment, I'm at the same pants size as I was at 18, though. Back down from back-to-back pregnancies, where it went up a couple of sizes.
Sizes today are so different from what they were 45 years ago when I was 18 -- plus my weight has always yo-yo'ed to some degree. But FWIW --
In high school, my weight ranged from 106 to 117 (5'4"), and I was a size 7, which is a size 1, today, I think.
However, as a senior, my least weight was 114 and a size 2, and my biggest weight was 162 and a size 12, although I never actually bought that size. When my 10's started bulging at the seams about ten years ago, I immediately went on a diet and lost 48 pounds in nine months. However, now at age 65, although I am about 145 lbs. and usually a size 8, give or take one size. I feel fine, btw, and my blood pressure is 111/68. (I am on a low carb diet and still walk quite a lot and do quite a bit of lifting of heavy boxes at my part-time job.)
