Juniors, Teens Article

US standard clothing sizes were developed from statistical data in the 1940s-1950s. They are similar in concept to the EN 13402 European clothing size standard.

However, as a result of various cultural pressures, most notably vanity sizing, North American clothing sizes have drifted substantially away from this standard over time, and now have very little connection to it. Instead, they now following the more loosely defined standards known as US catalog sizes. These are on average 6 sizes larger than the original standard. So, for example, a size 12 on the old standard would today be described as a size 6, while a size 6 on the old scale would be what is today known as size zero.

In the UK, a deriviative of the US standard clothing sizes was developed and applied during the 1980s. These sizes are still in use today, although they too have drifted away from the original (though not by anywhere near as much). UK sizes are roughly 4 sizes out from the original standard (or 2 sizes different from the modern American one). Thus, a UK size 2 is equivalent to a US size zero, or an old size 6.
