...hmmm, I don't think it just specifically sizing though, I think also different styles/fits of clothing as well and it wasn't that many decades ago when it was just being learned to cut clothes cheaply for high street fashion...I have fascinating books of designs form my late father in law on 'new age' cuts/designs for trousers/jackets../male fashion...and that's something that constantly evolves and updates to make things affordable to everyone...plus I also think that 'shape' change through decades as well and someone might still be a size 8 but a slightly different shaped size 8 so things from back in the day won't necessarily fit anymore...a natural 'Marilyn' shape is quite rare now, I think...ladies are more toned though....
..one day Liv...I want to see your collection because it always sounds so fabulous..
