size zero
Tiniest dress measurement
Size zero is the smallest standard women's clothing size in American retail, designed to fit very slim figures.
The term often carries connotations beyond mere measurement, evoking fashion industry beauty standards and debates about unhealthy thinness: The modeling agency only hired size zeros.
As an adjective, it describes this aesthetic or its pursuit: size-zero culture, size-zero models.
