I totally a...You're an inspiration, Michelle! <br /><br />I totally agree that sizes have changed over the years. I too have things in my closet that don't fit, yet they're the same 'size' as items I bought recently.Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-27740943148926562702011-03-16T12:11:00.146+00:002011-03-16T12:11:00.146+00:00Michelle, I am so impressed by your sticking at it...Michelle, I am so impressed by your sticking at it, most people abandon their new year's resolutions some time in January, it says immense amounts about your resolution that you're still hanging in. Respect! <br /><br />I know what you mean about sizes. Looking at some Vogue paper patterns my mum gave me for 'new look' dresses from the Fifties, the waists for a size twelve are about 20 inches. My mum has a dress from that time that has an 18 inch waist! How did they do that without pilates or shredding, I'd like to know.Marguerite Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886711566567879237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-42724021550580124922011-03-16T09:28:15.150+00:002011-03-16T09:28:15.150+00:00Thanks

Her measurements were 37 - 23 -36 (according to the studio) 35-22-35 (according to her dressmaker). She wore 36 D bra. (Isn't the internet wonderful for looking up useless facts?)<br />That would make her a size 4/6 US now. 8/10 UK. She was 5' 5 1/2".<br /><br />The sad part is once upon a time in my early 20s, my measurements were there on the studio side and I wasn't content. There was always 10 lbs more I could lose...Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-18500698210679336692011-03-16T09:17:40.126+00:002011-03-16T09:17:40.126+00:00You're doing so well! Keep on going.
I agree...You're doing so well! Keep on going.<br /><br />I agree, clothing sizes have definitely changed, in the US at least. I wear a smaller size in the US than I did when I was 18, and that is NOT because I'm smaller.Julie Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548233186449498920noreply@blogger.com
