Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 I understand some of the soze differences between US & Oz, but there comes a figure that in my mind belongs to the childrens department. AUST US 20 18 18 16 16 14 12 10 10 8 8 6 I've never seen an Australian size smaller than an 8 ( your 6) Fashion models are an 8. Yet I am reading about sizes 5 & 4 on some of these lists. What are they? Barbie sizes? or Baby sizes? Tania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 my ex-husband's sister was a size 2... she was 5'11 " tall. she coulda been a model if she had some looks. in the dressing room one time she had the nerve to say OUT LOUD " i swear i can't even keep this size 2 up, it's way too big " and you shoulda seen all the women look up over the tops of their dressing room doors to see just who had THAT problem!
