Most women struggle with sizing not because the clothes are wrong, but because the size chart is read incorrectly. Understanding the chart saves you time, money, and disappointment.

How to Measure Correctly

Bust:

Measure around the fullest part of your bust without pulling the tape tight.

Match this with the brand’s bust measurement. Allow ease if the fabric stretches.

Waist:

Measure the narrowest part of your torso.

For fitted garments, match closely; for relaxed pieces, a little room helps.

Hips:

Measure the widest part of your hips.

Crucial for trousers, skirts, and bodycon fits.

Length:

Check dress and top lengths especially if you are petite or tall.

Fabric Behaviour:

Stretch fabric = flexible sizing

Structured fabric = more precise sizing needed

A size chart is your simplest tool for choosing the right fit—once you know how to read it, shopping becomes far easier.
