Dress sizes

A comment seen in a fashion article about the unreliability of dress sizes: "A size 12 for a 25 year old is not the same as a size 12 for a 55 year old."
At first sight this seems nonsensical, but, on reflection, perhaps it is merely observing that we change shape as we age? Instead of being 36-26-38 is it possible that the average woman becomes 26-36-38?
