According to BBC News ‘Spain is to standardise its clothing sizes for women as part of a government drive to ease pressure on young girls over their body size.
Clothes currently on sale in Spain often vary in size from shop to shop, despite carrying the same size label.  The move follows Spain’s ban of ultra-thin models on the catwalk during Madrid fashion week last September.’ Under the new sizing regulations there will be criteria amongst manufacturers to comply to size parity between brands.
