I'm sure sizes have shifted over the years - I suspect what is called "10" now in the US was probably a "12" when I was growing up. And there is the truism (I'm not going to research it) that Marilyn Monroe was a size 14. The idea that anyone could fit in a size "0" is logically ridiculous, a mathematical non-starter.

I have a lot of projects on hold till I finish a big project today. Sending my holiday cards, preparing to mail parcels, getting set to train one dog to the Invisible Fence - all needs doing, but it can wait till tomorrow. They have made so much noise in the basement on a building project that I'm taking today off. Yesterday we listened to jack hammers only a few yards from my desk, through one thin wall until we couldn't take it any more (ear plugs and head phones weren't enough) and today some kind of compound being put down before a concrete pour that will smell bad. All of the department adjacent to the work site has abandoned the office for other locations or taking the day off. I'll be over there later and may step in to get a few photos, but mostly it's just a day for my project.
