I used to assume that clothing sizes were based on how ''big'' you were, not necessarily fat. As an example, a normal built 155 cm lady would wear an XS and a 180 cm lady would go for an L. I thought the sizes went up in proportion to height as well as weight.

I'm 170 cm, at 18 BMI. I always assumed that my size should be an M or maybe an S. But nope. Even XS is too baggy sometimes.

What on earth do smaller framed women wear if not XS?! What has vanity sizing come to? Blimey.
