Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style

What is size 0X?

Filed under: Clothing

caftan dressThink only supermodels can wear a size zero? There's actually a zero for plus sizes. I was browsing around the web looking for full-figure finds for this blog when I came across a curious size, 0X. For the uninitiated size 0X is basically the smallest plus size, essentially a 14-16W for garments that are along the 1X, 2X, 3X plus size continuum.

While the idea of being a zero anything has its charms, what was wrong with plain old 1X? It seemed to do the job well enough for many years. I have to wonder if this is yet another version of the vanity sizing phenomenon that has made no one sure what their actual size is anymore.

The Harari caftan dress shown here is available at Neiman Marcus only in the coveted 0X size. It looks a bit like something the Hollywood size zero such as Nicole Richie might be seen in (perfect with a pair of those monster sunglasses) and sells for $405.
