The clothing is definitly bigger. My daughter has lots of friends wearing zise 0 or 2/3. I never knew anyone that small. I'm now wearing a smaller size at 145 lbs (9/10) than I did 30 years ago when I weighed 121 (11/12). I went straight to a size 11 in Jr. High when my hips appeared. They sure haven't gotten smaller over the years!

I also think that we are smaller at any given weight with LC than with the carbs. When I got down to this weight 15 years ago (for a few weeks!) I was in 13/14s with a much bigger belly.

What ever the reason, it sure is nice buying the smaller sizes
