vanity sizing ??? 👀
I'm a size zero,
called me fat
in the 90s.
vanity sizing is so freaking crazy.
I want you
which skirt is the bigger size.
This one or this one?
You'd say this one, right?
Wrong!
For reference,
I have a 24.5 inch waist.
I'm normally size 0.
This is a today size 2.
It's clearly very big on me.
Right?
Waist is quite large.
versus the skirt.
it fits my waist pretty perfect, right?
This is my mom's skirt from the 90's.
This was a size 4.
Like I said,
I'm a size zero today.
It's like a teeny bit big,
but like, it fits.
I would not have survived the 90s
skinny craze.
And I'm skinny!
vanity sizing is a good thing.
What do y'all think?
