a) in the last 10 years, vanity sizing has become a huge thing, and women's clothes sizes have no set standard at all. and b) when I was heavier, I was probably dressing in clothes that didn't really fit the whole time, because I was insecure and clueless.

Vanity sizing - a real pain in my estimation... I have patterns from the late
50's early 60's and the
smallest size is a
10 with a bust of 31, waist of 24, and hips of 33.
Sounds like a size 0 today...
Just go by your own measurements, especially if body composition is changing.
