Sizes

And what it takes to make them

It’s not just you. Sizes are hard.

Like… what size am I? In some brands I am a 12, in some I am an 8, I have even been—get this— a size 2.

But it’s not simply a matter of “Vanity Sizing.” Sizing is actually an incredibly complex art. And it relies on fit models, like Brit and Zac, who try on all your clothes before you do.

She Was the World’s First Test-Tube Baby in 1978 — Here’s What She Looks Like Now

16 Jun 2026 #LouiseBrown #IVF #TestTubeBaby
She was the first human being ever conceived outside the body — and today she lives a quiet, ordinary life in Bristol. This is the incredible true story of Louise Joy Brown, the world’s first test-tube baby, born in northern England in July 1978, and the doctors who refused to accept the word “”impossible.””

Before Louise, there was Lesley Brown, a working-class woman who spent nine heartbreaking years longing for a child she was told she could never have. Then two pioneers — gynecologist Patrick Steptoe and scientist Robert Edwards — changed medical history forever with a breakthrough called in vitro fertilization, or IVF. After 64 failed attempts, one July night changed everything.

Discover what Louise looks like now, the family she built, and how her single birth made roughly 12 million lives possible around the world today.
