Why are UK sizes smaller than USA sizes?

Question

in jeans?

like how a size 0 in USA is a 4 or 6 in the UK

aha is it because in the USA were all fat?

Answer 1

naw, they just run differently

uk4-us0

uk6-us2

uk8-us4

etc.etc

though i think everyone would be happy if the wourld switched to austrailian sizing, its obviously the easiest to use and doesnt spur comments like " WTF. zero isnt even a size, wheres a 12!?!?!" whilst shopping in gap, from middle aged woman

Answer 2

since americans are so obese they need bigger sizes, and british people know how to control their eating.

Answer 3

You hit it right on the nail - British women are generally smaller than American women.

The original sizing was a American Zero = UK Zero, but now it's an American Zero = UK Four.

Hence why, if you have British friends and you tell them you're a zero, they'll be stunned =]

Answer 4

I don't think that is the reason, they just have different sizes. Not all countries have the same size values.  

Answer 5

no:S wow your lame:S
