📋 3 Steps to Find Your Size

1

Take Your Measurements

Use a flexible measuring tape. Measure your body at the key points: chest (fullest part), waist (narrowest part), hips (fullest part).

💡 Tip: Or measure a garment you own that fits well!

2

Find the Size Chart

Look for "Size Guide," "Size Chart," or "Sizing" link on the product page. It's usually near the size selector or in product details.

⚠️ Each brand's chart is different—always check!

3

Compare & Choose

Match your measurements to the chart. Find the row where your measurements fall. If between sizes, consider your fit preference.

🎯 Size up for comfort, down for fitted look

🔍 What to Look For in a Size Chart

  • Body vs Garment – Check if measurements are body or garment (flat lay)
  • Units – Inches or centimeters? Don't mix them up!
  • Fit Notes – "Runs small/large" or "Relaxed fit" guidance
  • Stretch Info – Stretch fabrics fit differently

What If I'm Between Sizes?

⬆️ Size UP if:
  • • You prefer relaxed fit
  • • Fabric has no stretch
  • • Between sizes on multiple measurements
⬇️ Size DOWN if:
  • • You prefer fitted look
  • • Fabric has good stretch
  • • Only borderline on one measurement
