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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wikipedia makes it look like it's a variation on petite. [link]

That third one down in Beth's link, the "Young Contemporary Fashion" -- was this soon after Fiddler on the Roof opened? Because I can see no other way that could be "contemporary."

from my mom

12 1/2, 14 1/2, 161/2 up to 22 1/2 or 24 1/2. I think they were sizes beyond the normal misses 8-16. they were the one that are now called women's

but it wasn't a size she did

3rd one down - may I bring up Little house on the prairie? That was a big fashion influence

Right! I'd forgotten that Little House was that period, too. Though the scarf tied under the chin still seems more Anatevka than Walnut Grove to me.
