Unfortunately in the world of fashion, size six is considered "large" in many folks' minds (my mother worked as a designer and illustrator in the 60s and 70s and it still hasn't changed much.
Something that really pisses me off: A friend of mine is my height, my size (4'11", size 4) and is a recovered anorexic like me (we both used to weigh around 82 pounds). She was clothes shopping with her mother one day, and the mother made a comment that she had gotten "fat" (because, see, she was no longer dangerously skeletal). Yeah, this woman decided that a size four is fat. Gods, I want to punch people like that so hard.
