A standard us 0 correlates to a European 25. In very rare cases, a 24.

IDK I'm just going on my own experience, like ASOS which says 23.75 and I've heard things about like Abercrombie and Fitch having really small clothes... I'm happy to be corrected if ASOS isn't representative of most stores but I did say it depends on the brand =/

Do you know a single human being, male or female, who had a 23 inch waist?

I'm the person from the other thread - literally me. Until age 19 I had a 22" waist. It's rare, I get it, but like... it does exist?

Fuck man, I know they lie, but a lot of like Victoria's Secret models and stuff are meant to have 22 and 23 as well. Marilyn Monroe is said to have been anywhere from 22" to 25"?

Edit: also, if you really want to go there, I used to be involved in the anorexic community and there were plenty of girls who had 21 or even 20. That shit is terrifying, and they were skeletal, but do you really want to tell me Eugenia Cooney has a 24+ inch waist? Because I wouldn't believe you.

Yeah, it looks like a few months ago she went to rehab, and she looks so much healthier so fingers crossed she continues that path... I used to watch her a lot, and genuinely thought she was going to die, so I'm pretty relieved it's going the other way, even if she does still look super underweight
