How to Measure Clothing Size?
The key to determine correct clothing size, is taking correct measurements. It is important to know exactly how to measure your body, and to do it carefully. See the following information below for our guidance.

Bust: Use a flexible measuring tape and measure circumference around body over the fullest part of the bust, while wearing a correct fitting bra. Make sure the measuring tape is parallel with the floor all the way around.
Waist: Measure circumference around body at your natural waistline. Your waistline is the narrowest/slimmest part of torso (see illustration above). Note: Waist measurement is a reference measurement. So, make sure to measure at the point where torso is slimmest, and NOT where i.e., you want your pants to sit (this is a usual mistake). Still not sure where your waistline is? Stand in front of a mirror, and bend to one side. Your waistline is simply where you can see a natural indentation in torso on this side.
Hips (Seat): Measure circumference of seat at fullest part of your hips.
Women's US Plus Clothing Size Chart (Inches):
Our US General Plus Size Chart works with most of our clothing brands and manufacturers, but maybe not all. All measurements in inches.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size (but you may try both sizes on if possible).
