US standard clothing sizes were developed from statistical data in the 1940s-1950s. They are similar in concept to the EN 13402 European clothing size standard.
However, as a result of various cultural pressures, most notably vanity sizing, North American clothing sizes have drifted substantially away from this standard over time, and now have very little connection to it.
Instead, they now follow the more loosely defined standards known as US catalog sizes.

Women's sizes are divided into various types, depending on the overall height and the relative heights of the bust and waistlines. Catalogs have departed from the US standard sizes since approximately the 1980s.
Companies now may provide the measurements for their sizes, which may vary even among different styles of the same type of garment
PLEASE NOTE: There are many different systems of clothing measurement around the world. In clothing, dress size refers to a set of standard dimensions for dresses and other women's garments such as tops, skirts, and trousers.
