This is exactly what I was talking about yesterday. It’s become a joke in other countries, where they say that Americans can’t handle how overweight they are so we need vanity sizing to make ourselves feel better. I think it’s silly to change a number to make it seem like a person is smaller, when in reality, everyone can see what size that person actually is. And since everyone knows that a US Large is a XL in most of the world (except China and other parts of Asia), what’s the point?
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Thursday! The kids are back at school and it’s really cold, so I guess it’s a good day for cleaning up. I hope you all have a good day!

That just sounds confusing.

Cathy is not a 4 (or 6 or 8) by any measurements. She is closer to a 10 or 12, but not overweight or obese.

This is also what makes it impossible to know what size to order when shopping online. :(

Hey—if it makes buyers feel better, why not?
And as an added bonus for companies, consumers might purchase more stuff as a result …
