Size guide

One merged chart, built from 79 labels, plus a finder that points at the closest row.

Measure first

Stand relaxed and keep the tape level. Bust is the fullest point over a bra you actually wear. Waist is the narrowest part, usually an inch above the navel. Hip is the fullest point, usually seven to nine inches below the waist. Write the three numbers down once and you will never guess again.

Size finder

Enter one, two or three numbers. The finder scores every row in the merged chart and shows the closest.

How to read the merged chart

The Charts column counts how many product labels contributed to that row, so you can see which sizes are best evidenced. Bust, waist and hip are averages across those labels, and individual pieces vary by up to an inch either way. When the two disagree, the chart on the product page wins: it is the one printed for that exact garment.

The chart stops at 2X-Large on purpose. 3X-Large appears on 9 labels and 4X-Large appears on 1 label, which is too thin to average into anything you should trust. Those sizes exist, but read them from the chart on the product page instead.

Between two rows

Take the larger row on anything fitted: bodycon dresses, mesh evening pieces, the off the shoulder necklines that rely on elastic staying put. Take the smaller row on anything smocked, tiered or babydoll, because those styles add their own volume. Wide leg trousers and drawstring shorts forgive both directions.

Sizes by room

  • Everyday dresses of the 25 labels here, 1 stops at XL, 22 at 2XL and 2 at 3XL.
  • Occasion dresses of the 17 labels here, 14 stop at 2XL and 3 at 3XL.
  • Tops & knitwear all 18 labels stop at 2XL.
  • Pants & shorts of the 19 labels here, 15 stop at 2XL, 3 at 3XL and 1 at 4XL.

An X-Small row is printed on 35 of the 79 labels; on the rest the smallest row is Small. Nothing here is cut for a tall frame, so if you are over five foot nine, read the length column before the width ones.
