There are sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18, and then half sizes 16 1/2, 18 1/2, 20 1/2, and 22 1/2.
I know that there's a difference between 14 vs. 14W and 16 vs. 16W but I've never seen half sizes before.

I believe you are right, Hil, but my brain almost remembers
I was figuring it was just an old way of marking the W sizes, but then I noticed the ad in the corner for the special catalog of half sizes AND women's sizes. Which would imply that there's a difference.
Could they be tall sizes?
ETA: I looked again and they have tall sizes. Maybe petites then?
They might have been plus sizes for teen not women's bodies.
My dinner was inspired by Hil. I haven't eaten very well today. so I just sauteed some yellow squash and onions with thyme, basil, salt , and pepper I sprinkled parmasan cheese on it.
Could they be tall sizes?
Nope, petite and tall sizes are also listed separately on that page.

Interesting.
I feel like I used to know what half sizes were all about, but I can't dredge it up.
