<P> There is no mandatory clothing size or labeling standard in the U.S, though a series of voluntary standards have been in place since the 1930s . The U.S. government, however, did attempt to establish a system for women's clothing in 1958 when the National Bureau of Standards published "Body Measurements for the Sizing of Women's Patterns and Apparel ." The guidelines of the book was made a commercial standard and was even updated in 1970 . But the guide was eventually degraded to a voluntary standard until it was abolished altogether in 1983 . Private organization ASTM International started to release its own recommended size carts in the 1990s . </P> <P> Since then, the common US misses sizes have not had stable dimensions . Clothing brands and manufacturers size their products according to their preferences . For example, the dimensions of two size 10 dresses from different companies, or even from the same company, may have grossly different dimensions; and both are almost certainly larger than the size 10 dimensions described in the US standard . Vanity sizing may be partly responsible for this deviation (which began in earnest in the 1980s). </P> <Table> Women's dresses and suits <Tr> <Th> United States </Th> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td> 22 </Td> <Td> 24 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> UK </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td> 22 </Td> <Td> 24 </Td> <Td> 26 </Td> <Td> 28 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Germany </Th> <Td> 30 </Td> <Td> 32 </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> <Td> 36 </Td> <Td> 38 </Td> <Td> 40 </Td> <Td> 42 </Td> <Td> 44 </Td> <Td> 46 </Td> <Td> 48 </Td> <Td> 50 </Td> <Td> 52 </Td> <Td> 54 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> France </Th> <Td> 32 </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> <Td> 36 </Td> <Td> 38 </Td> <Td> 40 </Td> <Td> 42 </Td> <Td> 44 </Td> <Td> 46 </Td> <Td> 48 </Td> <Td> 50 </Td> <Td> 52 </Td> <Td> 54 </Td> <Td> 56 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Italy </Th> <Td> 36 </Td> <Td> 38 </Td> <Td> 40 </Td> <Td> 42 </Td> <Td> 44 </Td> <Td> 46 </Td> <Td> 48 </Td> <Td> 50 </Td> <Td> 52 </Td> <Td> 54 </Td> <Td> 56 </Td> <Td> 58 </Td> <Td> 60 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Korea </Th> <Td> 44 </Td> <Td> 44 </Td> <Td> 55 </Td> <Td> 55 </Td> <Td> 66 </Td> <Td> 66 </Td> <Td> 77 </Td> <Td> 77 </Td> <Td> 88 </Td> <Td> 88 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> United States </Th> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td> 22 </Td> <Td> 24 </Td> </Tr>
