• Bust/Chest — around the fullest part, tape level under the arms
• Waist — around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel
• Hip — around the fullest part of your seat, feet together
• Inseam — from the crotch seam down to where you want the hem to fall
• Sleeve — from the center back of your neck, over the shoulder, to the wrist
Fitting notes • All measurements are body measurements in inches. 1 in = 2.54 cm.
• Between two sizes? Size up for a relaxed fit, size down for a slim fit.
• Allow approx. ±0.5" tolerance on all garment specs — fabric stretch and cut vary by style.
• This chart is a general guide. Each product page lists the model's height and the size they're wearing — that's the most reliable reference we can give you.
