Size zero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Size 0 is a women's clothing size in the US catalog sizes system, believed to be equivalent to a UK size 4,[1] a European size 32,[1] Italian size 36,[2] an Australian size 4, or a men's size 21.[citation needed] Size 0 and 00 were invented due to the changing of clothing sizes over time (referred to as vanity sizing or size inflation), which has caused the adoption of lower numbers. Modern size 0 clothing, depending on brand and style, will fit measurements of anywhere from 30-22-32 inches (76-56-81 cm) to 33-25-35 inches (84-64-89 cm).

"Size 0" is often used to refer to extremely thin individuals (especially women), or trends associated with them. This usage does not always relate to the clothing size - the "size 0 ban" at the Madrid Fashion Week had body mass index (BMI) as its criterion, not body measurements.
