Have clothing sizes gotten bigger?

I had decided not to buy a new pair of jeans until I lost 20 pounds. Well, at the 18 pound mark I had to buy a new pair due to one pair blowing out from being worn out. I was so amazed at the size I could wear. The last time I tried on woman's jeans I wore a size 10 or 11/12 so I started with a size 11/12 and went to a size 9/10 when they were too big!! I couldn't believe it when the 9/10 was too big also and could fit into a size 7/8!!! I am still in disbelief. When I was at a lower weight 10 years ago, I couldn't wear a size 11/12, and so I am wondering if manufacturers are making sizes differently than they did 10 years ago. I realize styles have changed but not too much in the Wrangler jeans I wear, so I still can't believe I can wear this size. I am even tucking my shirts in again and have gotten compliments on how good I look. I got out some "summer" t-shirts and can wear the size medium shirts that were way too tight last summer. Sooooo even though I am not at the weight that I want to be at, I am trying to celebrate how I look and feel and not at that number on the scales!
