Re: 1987 Sizing

Do you think DG has medical (stomach) issues? Her problem area appears to be in the abdominal region -- and so does mine! (I'm not kidding)

 

This came to mind because in the 70's women had still been wearing girdles so waist bands were tiny (sizing issue).

I found this online in an article about vintage clothing sizes. I thought it was interesting -- a size chart from 1955.

 

For those who may be curious, the following is a list - copied directly from the pages of a 1955 Sears catalog - that details the measurements, in inches, for the brand's Misses size range:

 Size 10: 32.5 bust, 24.5 waist, 34 hips

Size 12: 34 bust, 25.5 waist, 36 hips

Size 14: 35.5 bust, 27 waist, 38 hips

Size 16: 37 bust, 28.5 waist, 40 hips

Size 18: 39 bust, 30.5 waist, 42 hips

Size 20: 41 bust, 32.5 waist, 44 hips
