Women's Clothing
Women's Clothing is a guide for comparing tops, blouses, dresses, skirts, trousers, jackets, coats and similar garments by body measurements, fit and fabric. A labelled size alone does not fully describe how a garment will fit.
Use this page to compare bust, waist, hip, inseam, garment length, fit, fabric and care when choosing women's clothing.

ContinueWomen's Body Measurements
Measure bust around the fullest point, waist at the narrowest point and hip around the fullest point. Inseam is also useful for trousers and other long-leg garments. Compare your measurements with the specific product size chart.
Tops, Blouses and Jackets
In addition to bust measurement, shoulder width, sleeve length and garment length can affect fit. Jackets may also need allowance for layering, while oversized and fitted garments follow different intended silhouettes.
Dresses and Skirts
Dresses may need bust, waist and hip measurements to be considered together. For skirts, compare waist and hip, garment length, rise position and fabric stretch.
Trousers and Jeans
Compare waist, hip, inseam, rise and leg shape. Jeans may use separate waist and inseam measurements in inches; always use the product-specific chart.
Fabric and Stretch
Cotton, viscose, linen, wool, polyester and blended fabrics differ in drape, stretch and care. Elastic fibres can change how closely a garment follows the body.
Care and Shape Retention
Washing, drying and ironing requirements depend on fabric and construction. Follow the care label to help preserve shape and finish.
