A Case of the Human Condition: A Half Century Later I’m Still a Size 10 (or 12)

1950s-plaid-pendleton-skirt-vanity-sizing

My size 10 virgin wool Pendleton skirt from Pendleton Woolen Mills, Portland, Oregon, circa 1958 -- and my 21st century Charter Club low-waist jeans from Macy's, size 10 petite.

The jeans are 97 percent cotton, 3 percent spandex; the skirt is 100 percent virgin wool. The jeans fit just below the waist; the skirt has a genuine waistband — 23 1/2 inches.
