The average American woman is 5'4", weighs 140 lbs, and wears a size 14 dress.


This seems off to me. At that height and weight I'd expect a size 10, maybe a 12 depending on the fit of the item in question.

Although since there's no standardization of sizing, I guess it's possible someone of that body type would be in a 14. I just wouldn't expect that to be the average size of what's in their closet.
