"erm.. so whats a size 0 in britain? a size -3? :)"

I have never seen a size 0 in the UK. Actually I've never seen anything less than a size 6 here (and that's only in those posh shops where if you're more than a size 12, they look at you as if you're a whale and watch you like a hawk in case your fat cells jump onto them and cause them to gain half an ounce on their left eyelash.) Most shops don't sell anything below an 8. Even the online Petite specialists generally don't go below 6 (well, I couldn't find any.) Some places are apparently looking to stock size 4s, but they are generally aimed at children and genuinely petite women (i.e. under 5 feet tall) rather than skinny tall women.

Interesting article about it here:
