vintage sizing is just like that modern sizing is called vanity sizing as brands started labeling clothes as smaller as a marketing strategy; size 8 is literally the vintage equivalent of a 00 or 000

Please also keep in mind it was much more common in the past to have your clothing tailored to fit. So many women bought a larger size, then had it taken in, making the size label inaccurate.

they make sizes larger to add more smaller sizing (00,000) so that people buy more

That looks like a current size 8 here in Australia - we don’t have size 0s 🤔

Ready-to-wear sizing for the public was produced after the Great Depression and WWII, and big portions of the population were undernourished. While people were smaller 70 years ago, it's a fallacy to assume they were healthier.

Size 0 back then was insanely small. I have some vintage size 0 I only could fit into as a teen.

In certain countries the smallest size is labeled 4 and equivalent to a Us 0. I think that applies for the uk for example
