Sizes varying between stores can really throw you off, but Spain is working to change this and more. Madrid and Milan banned ultra-thin models from their fashion week runways late last year. Now the country that has always boasted healthy beauty, has started replacing window-display mannequins so that none is smaller than size 38 (size 6 in the U.S.).

There has been a steady increase in the number of eating disorders among young Spanish women. The program is aimed at changing the perception that only super-skinny women are fashionable.
