Frequently Asked Questions
What is vanity sizing in women's clothing?
Vanity sizing is when brands label clothes with smaller size numbers than actual measurements. A size 8 today might equal a size 12 from decades ago. Always check actual measurements.
How do I convert US women's sizes to UK sizes?
Add 4 to the US size: US 4 = UK 8, US 6 = UK 10, US 8 = UK 12, US 10 = UK 14.
What measurements do I need for women's clothing?
Three key measurements: bust (fullest part), waist (narrowest part), and hip (fullest part). For pants, also measure inseam.
Why do women's sizes vary between brands?
No universal standard exists. Each brand creates their own specifications. Fast fashion runs smaller; luxury brands often run larger.
What is the difference between Misses and Women's sizes?
Misses (0-18) are for average proportions. Women's (14W-28W) have more room in bust, waist, hips, and longer torsos.
How do I know if I'm petite, regular, or tall?
Petite: under 5'4". Regular: 5'4" to 5'7". Tall: 5'8" and above. These affect length, not width.
