End Vanity Sizing. Standardize Women's Clothing Sizes. Manufacturers have been engaging in "vanity sizing" for the past couple of decades - "sizes" may be same, but the measurements have been growing (right along with our obesity problem) - a size 0-2 can now mean a 26 in. waist and 36 in. hips. Years ago, a 0-2 was generally a 23 in. waist and 32 in. hips. That's a significant "size" difference for a body whose height has not changed. Also, there is no standard across manufacturing lines. Measurements that constitute a size 8 in one clothing line might be an 10 in another. Enough already. Stop making us guess. Adopt measurements based on inches, as is done in menswear: 36/32 pants mean 36 in. waist, 32 in. inseam. This isn't rocket science.
