Say “NO” to size “0”! with Body Confidence!
According to my research, sizes 0 and 00 are vanity sizes, period.
Great News! The current size 0 is equivalent to a size 2 in 2001, and is LARGER than a size 6 in 1970, or a size 8 in 1958!
As with most fashion, the concept of a size 0 for runway models began in Europe as did the resistance to the ridiculous concept of applying a clothing size found in the crib to growing and adult women! In her article for the Daily Mail.co.uk online, Dawn Porter writes about her quest for a size 0 in 2007. She details the thrill she felt zipping up her “skinny” jeans, size 8, on her normally size 12 body. It was an aha! Moment for her as she reflects on the foolishness of reacting to an arbitrary number on a clothing label.
Fashion favorite and designer, Posh formerly of the Spice Girls, who wears a “0” has banned models who are that small from wearing her designs on the runway, citing the rise in anorexia among that profession. Even Milan and Paris refuse to hire models whose BMIs are dangerously low.
