When was size 0 invented

I spend a great deal of time trying to tell my clients taht numbers don't matter - not the size on the label or the weight on the scale - it is health and body composition that matters. If there were no 0 or 00 sizes and they started at size 12, there would still be the issue of wearing a 22 instead of a 12 or a large instead of a small.

Sorry if I do not want to walk around looking like a child at the age of 22 at the time. I agree with the post up from mine about xxxxl.

There are people of all shapes and sizes, forgive me I am an 8 and yeah I have size 4 jeans, some of them size 1, different places have different sizes. Get over it and stop making it sound that people with smaller frames dont have a positive self image! It is hard to be a laaarger person growing up, but I can tell you first hand it was hard for me growing up being a very tiny girl! So, from my younger years!!!!

I do recall a bonus to shopping in the childrens section, I saved on the GST!! The number has no bearing. How else can I be a size 8 in one thing, a 12 in something else and my wedding dress was a No rhyme or reason to sizing. I have also found I am a medium in one store yet go to another and the XL does not fit. I do agree the size 0 is a ridiculous creation, meant to play on emotions more than anything.

I really could care less what number the tag says - but it sure makes it difficult to go into a changeroom with a bunch of articles of all different numbers because all are not created equal. I find it really distressing too, that you can go into any store in this city right now and find racks where the only size left of a certain thing is the smallest. That is where the person in charge of ordering needs to be a lot smarter.

I have a great friend who is a large woman, and the clothing designed for her looks like a moo-moo. So I understand that there are people out there of all shapes and sizes, that was not my intent to post on here to be criticsing anyone. Here is a fine example: My good friend and I as mentioned above walked into a well named store, she wanted to buy a gift for her daughter who is a small framed girl.

I was only there because I had nothing to do. The sales lady didn't even think to ask my friend if she needed help, only me! I am assuming because most of the clothing was based between size 0 - My friend is a wonderful woman, and her feelings were very hurt.

So all in all, I did not mean to offend anyone, just have a rant. So when buying clothing off the rack. Men sizes have the right idea. I go into the store and pick out a suit with a 48" chest, 35" sleeve. I try them on only to see if the cut hangs right.

Go to inches ladies. A lot easier. The Glamour office was fascinated by a story in The Hollywood Reporter about the rise of size 0 in clothing and the fact that it didn't even exist 15 years ago neither did size 2. The article pointed to designer Nicole Miller as the arbiter of the double zero, so I reached out to find out whether she remembers being the first. By Eliana Dockterman. I have always hated fitting rooms.

I hate that it feels like nothing fits. The rise of so-called vanity sizing has rendered most labels meaningless. Those numbers are even more confusing given that a pair of size-6 jeans can vary in the waistband by as much as 6 in. Clearly, modern fashion has a fit problem. When we get married or interview for a job or play professional sports or run for President of the United States, we encounter a whole set of standards and expectations.

The debate over sizing is an emotional one, especially right now, when so many shoppers are rejecting labels of all kinds, from sexual orientation to gender to, yes, size. For decades, major retailers have generally catered to one white, slim consumer even as America has gotten more diverse. Now shoppers are pushing back.

But underlying it all is the same maddening question: At a time when consumers are more vocal than ever about what they want and need, and retailers are losing money by sticking with the status quo, and tech companies have streamlined every other part of the shopping process, why is it still so hard to find clothes that fit?

And what, if anything, can be done about it? The second balloons around me. Hartman nods knowingly. This madness is partly our own fault. Studies have shown that shoppers prefer to buy clothing labeled with small sizes because it boosts our confidence. So as the weight of the average American woman rose, from lb.

Over time this created an arms race, and retailers went to extremes trying to one-up one another. By the late s, standard sizes had become so forgiving that designers introduced new ones 0, 00 to make up the difference.

Supporting educators who are trying to create that environment by helping fund their racial equity projects is a good place to start.

If you were unaware that not returning one's grocery cart to the store or the stall was a major source of controversy, welcome to the internet. Entire articles have been written about the psychology of putting your cart away in the parking lot, there's a " Shopping Cart Theory " that treats your cart-returning habits as a test of moral character, and people definitely have feelings about it.

Full disclosure: I abandoned my cart in the parking lot once. I was a new mom with a screaming baby in the car and the cart return felt like it was miles away and I was wickedly sleep-deprived. So sorry. Please don't flog me. People's intense opinions on grocery cart etiquette may be why this video on Reddit of a security guard pulling a fast one on a man who did not appear to have any other reasonable excuse for not walking a few extra steps to return his cart is so popular.

It feels like a bit of righteous justice being served as the bafflingly clueless man keeps being duped over and over again. People in the comments found it hilarious, though great debates were waged over whether or not the whole thing was staged.

Where did all those carts come from? Was there some sort of cart clown car we can't see? Why did the man never look around the other side of the car?

Did he really never notice the security guard or the carts in his side-rear-window? It's hard to believe someone could be that oblivious—except if the QAnon era has taught us anything, it's that more people are far more gullible than we could have possibly imagined. So perhaps it is plausible. Whether or not it's staged, it's downright delightful with the woman's laughter and "this is my kind of petty" running commentary.

And when the "mall cop" puts out his arm to shake the man's hand, and then the man sheepishly helps him move all the carts to the cart return? One thing's for certain: Neither that man nor anyone who watches this video will ever not return a cart to the stall or the store again.

Objectively, it actually is quite rude, knowing that someone else will eventually have to do it for you. Again, sorry. I was just so very tired. I've made up for it, I promise. There is nothing more pure in this world than the love between a child and a caring parent.

But even in the world of healthy attachments and strong family bonds, this viral video takes the cake. Twitter user TeesePeese shared a compilation of highlights showing her son's reaction at daycare pickup, and it's seriously the most precious thing ever. For his 5th bday yesterday I took my favorites and made a lil compilation, from infancy to just last week.

Some new parents may worry that sending their child to daycare will negatively affect their child's attachment to them, but according to psychologist Noam Shpancer Ph. D, that worry is unfounded as long as the family environment is healthy at home. Clearly this kiddo's parent-child attachment hasn't suffered from being in daycare.

Research also shows what common sense should also tell us—the quality of daycare matters. Unfortunately, quality daycare can be prohibitively expensive, which is why the proposed affordable childcare provisions in the Build Back Better plan are a huge deal. And the U.
