This is why some clothing stores (especially those that sell to women) are now stocking size 0 clothing. Size 0. A non-existant number. Because size 5 is now really a size 7, size 3 is really a size 5, and they need something for the people who used to be a size 2. People are stupid. Everything should be based on actual measurements. If you measure a particular size, that's what size you are. You can't kid yourself.
