Complete Etsy Size Chart Guide for Handmade Sellers

Why Etsy Sellers Need Size Charts

Handmade clothing on Etsy often has unique sizing that doesn't match standard retail sizes. A clear size chart is essential because:

• Unique sizing: Your handmade items may not fit standard sizes
• No returns on custom items: Getting the size right the first time is critical
• Build buyer confidence: Clear sizing info increases conversions
• Reduce messages: Answer sizing questions before they're asked

Where to Add Size Charts on Etsy

1. Listing Photos (Most Important)

Add your size chart as one of your listing images:

• Position 2-4 recommended (after main product photo)
• Use high contrast, easy-to-read design
• Include measurement diagram

2. Listing Description

Include detailed sizing info in your description:
