How to determine your dress size?

I never understood when someone says, oh shes a size 8, or shes a size 0. What does that mean and how do you determine it?
Pictures of celebrities as examples of sizes would be great also.

Thanks.

I do believe when someone says that generally they are referring to pants...
XS S M L XL
Size 0 0-2 4-6 8-10 12-14
Waist (inches) 23-24 25-26 27-28 30-32 33-35
for shirts...
XXS XS S M L XL 2XL
Size 00 0 0-2 4-6 8-10 12-14 16-18
Chest (inches) 26-28 28-30 30-32 32-34 36-38 40-42 44-46
Waist (inches) 20-22 23-24 25-26 27-28 30-32 33-35 36-38
and for dresses..
XS S M L XL
Size 0 0-2 4-6 8-10 12-14
Chest (inches) 28-30 30-32 32-34 36-38 40-42
Waist (inches) 23-24 25-26 27-28 30-32 33-35

sorry they aren't directly above/below but the forum wouldn't let me do that...
so in pants I'm a 3, shirts a 4/6, and dresses a 1/2.

look at any size chart at any websites. most of them are quite 'standard'.
try AE for example..
