Your Dress Size: Do You Secretly Lie About It?

nicole_miller_pleated_lbd_blueflys_blog_flypaper.jpgOver the past few years, celebrities have come under the fire for not being the "ideal" dress size. (You may recall Tyra's swimsuit rant and Jessica Simpson's recent belly bulge drama.) It's also been noted that many stars lie about their dress size, their fave number being two -- as in, a size two. Curvy stars like J-Lo and Kim Kardashian have both been quoted stating that they are a size two -- crazy yes -- but the real crazy part is that many women and teen girls are dying to be this size. Many more of us lie about our true dress size, even to ourselves.

I'm 5'4, 110 lbs, and a size 2. No way J-Lo is the same size as me.

I don't lie about my dress size... in case anyone ever wants to buy one for me, I want to make sure it fits! I've got curves and I am ultimately happy with my size 8 frame (I'm 5'7" and 155 lbs... though losing a few couldn't hurt).

I think those who "adjust" their size are body-conscious and perhaps lack a little confidence in embracing what they have. Not everyone was made to be the same size, or only one size would exist!

i hate how kim kardashian says she's a size 2, yet she also claims her measurements are 34-26-39. the average hip measurement for a size 2 is 35! i'm 5'3 [.5 inch taller than kim] 115 pounds and usually a size 4. my measurements are 38-25-36. i'm not posting a picture, but i am a lot tinier than kim kardashian or jennifer lopez. i'm also small boned. now how the heck is kim kardashian a smaller size than me !?!

I have the same measurements as Kim, 34-26-39 and am a dress size 2, so of course I believe her!!

“Well, I, uh - I read in The New York Times this week that I'm an ice queen, I'm the Sun King, I'm an alien fleeing from District 9 and I'm a dominatrix. So I reckon that makes me a lukewarm royalty with a whip from outer space.”
