Doydie, Sizes are made bigger today, but that's still stretching it. Long ago, she'd wear a size 16 to 20, depending how tall
When I modeled, many many years ago

, the perfect model size was 12 (todays is a 6) and I weighed 128 5' 6" .. In the prehistoric days, you didn't have to be as skinny as a bone, though.
I think the fashion industry changed the sizes, because the 2nd generation is bigger, and they didn't want to insult everyone..lol
