Size 0 is a women's clothing size in the US catalog sizes system, roughly equivalent to a UK size 4. Size 0 and 00 were invented due to the changing of clothing sizes over time (referred to as vanity sizing or size inflation), which has caused the adoption of lower numbers. Modern size 0 clothing, depending on brand and style, will fit measurements of chest-stomach-hips from 30-22-32 inches (76-56-81 cm) to 33-25-35 inches (84-64-89 cm).
Context
"Size zero" is often used to refer to extremely thin individuals (especially women), or trends associated with them. For example, Louise Redknapp dieted to fit into a size zero dress to explore the effects for a documentary television program. However, this usage does not always relate directly to the clothing size - the "size zero ban" at the Madrid Fashion Week prevented models from participating if they had a body mass index (BMI) of 18 or below. As a result, five models were banned from taking part.
