WOMENS SIZE GUIDE
Fashion Biz sizes are designed to fit average industry standards for the below body measurements. Please use this handy Body Measurement Guide to compare your own measurements and help you determine which size to order.
Fit Tips
If one of your measurements is on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.
Garment to Garment Comparison
An alternate method is to compare your own garment size to ours. You can do this by measuring the ½ chest of your garment (laid flat, measured 0.5in below the sleeve join, from side seam to side seam) and compare it to ours. Please refer to the individual garment measurements, shown on each style page, to determine your garment to garment size comparison.
Use these measurements as a guide when selecting the right size garment, but also take into consideration the garment fit.
