KarenG. 0 Posted November 3, 2007 I was in the Gap today and decided to try on some size 16 pants just to see how far I had to go. Well, they closed and I wasn't in pain! They didn't look good but the last time I came close to fitting into that size I was about 18 -20 lbs lighter and that was 6+ years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
musicalmomma 1 Posted November 3, 2007 Yeah...some bigger sizes are now getting "vanity" sizes (one to two sizes smaller). I don't mind tho :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenG. 0 Posted November 3, 2007 not complaining either in 10lbs i will fit easily into most "regular" size stores! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted November 3, 2007 Oh, they have. Last time I was this weight, no way was I in a size 14 Australian, bordering on a 12. I was a good 16. of course, I run lots now and am smaller at the same weight because of that, but I still think sizes are bigger now than they were. All I care about is that I never have to go into a plus size store again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernurse12 0 Posted November 4, 2007 I don't recall there ever being a size 0 or 1 when i was younger,seems like size 5 was the smallest. I think they have adjusted the sizes over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcgreen 0 Posted November 4, 2007 thank god they have- I now can shop places other than lane giant! (agreed about the change- no way could I fit into size 14/16's at this weight 15 years ago) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
