Natural Activewear

Thrifty Shopping
Think you’ve got a big clothing budget? On average, households in the U.S. currently spend about 3.8% of their income on clothes. That’s spare change compared to how it was in 1950, when households spent a whopping 11% on new threads.

 

Sizing Up
A Size 8 isn’t always a Size 8. In fact, women’s clothing sizes have actually increased their measurements over the years. A Size 8 dress in 1967 has the same dimensions as a Size 0 outfit by today’s standards.
