Whether or not you call it vanity sizing, clothes sizes definitely change in measurement across the decades and brands. An example of this is a size 12 skirt I bought 15 years ago from Next is closer to a modern day size 14. But is this vanity sizing or just manufacturers using measurement statistics to apportion sizes? Changes in sizes are not just affecting clothes. Shoes are also changing in their size, becoming wider, but again…is this vanity sizing? It appears some manufacturers and brands are increasing the width of their shoes whilst others are including wider fittings into their range.
