Women clothing manufactures like to mess with their heads. My wife was a size 6 at Anne Taylor for years. We moved to Europe for a year and when we returned she was a size 4. We also noticed that a new size was added; size 00.
Our hypothesis was that as Americans continue to be Super-Sized they just changed the labels. That way when the woman who was a size 8 stays a size 8 in the next season instead of going up to a 10. she is happier and buys more clothes (while at the store).
Men on the other hand shop by inches. Your waist size is your waist size. But I noticed that my T-shirts have gotten smaller. I used to be a large, but now I am a medium (women's large for camis) and I think it is because the IN style is for extra baggy, loose fitting clothes.
