Women's Size Guide

How to use this guide. These are general body measurements in inches. Because we work with multiple manufacturers, fit varies by style — always check the measurement table on the individual product page first. Where a product lists its own measurements, those take priority over this chart.

How to Measure

  • Bust — measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and parallel to the floor.
  • Waist — measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, usually just above the belly button.
  • Hip — measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, roughly 8 inches below the waist.
  • Inseam — measure from the top of the inner thigh down to the ankle.

Keep the tape snug but not tight, and measure over bare skin or thin clothing.

Fit Notes

  • Between sizes? Size up for woven and non-stretch fabrics; stay true to size for anything with elastane or spandex.
  • Bodycon and fitted styles run closer to the body. If you prefer a looser fit, size up.
  • Oversized, loose, and relaxed styles are cut with extra room already. Ordering your usual size is usually right.
  • Stretch amount is listed on some product pages — that number tells you how far the waistband gives beyond the flat measurement.
