What to Check Before Choosing a Two-Piece Set
A coordinated set can simplify choosing an outfit, but the top and bottom still need to fit independently. Read the listing’s number of pieces and included items first. Do not assume that shoes, jewelry or other styling accessories in a photograph are part of the set.Compare the measurements for both pieces. A size that works at the bust may differ from the size you prefer at the waist or hips. If the set is sold under one size selection, check whether both pieces use that selection; do not assume you...

Planning Layers Without Guessing the Fit
A layered outfit begins with the space between garments. Rather than choosing every layer in the same size label, compare the actual measurements of the items you plan to wear together.

A Practical Guide to Comparing Men’s Jeans
Choosing jeans online starts with the measurements you can compare. The waist label alone does not tell you the rise, inseam or shape through the leg.

Start with the product’s measured length and the measurement method, then compare it with a dress you already own.Names such as mini, midi and maxi describe a general style. They do not guarantee where the hem will fall on you. Check whether the listed length is measured from the shoulder or another point. If the method... Read more...
How to Read Clothing Measurements Before You Order
A familiar size label can be a useful starting point, but it is not a measurement. Two items marked medium can have different cuts, lengths and amounts of ease. Start with the chart for the exact product you are considering, rather than assuming that your size in one item will fit every other item.First, identify the units and what is being measured. A body measurement describes the person; a garment measurement describes the finished clothing. A flat width is not the same as a full circumference. If the listing does... Read more...
