How do I determine the correct size for women’s clothing?
Learning how to accurately measure yourself for women’s clothing is more reliable than relying on your usual numerical size. Sizing varies by garment and fit, so measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare those measurements with the appropriate size chart. When shopping for women's clothes, also consider whether a garment is designed to fit closely, skim the body, or offer a relaxed silhouette.
