The Fitting Room / Conversion Charts for Clothing
Welcome to the fitting room. These links can help you select your size before you go to the store.
Apparel Search unfortunately does NOT guarantee the accuracy of information in this section. All bodies are different. Therefore, making garments fit well is a difficult task. On these pages you will find clothing size reference guides that should be utilized at your own risk. The standards may have been updated after we posted this page. Also, their are many different size standards floating around in publication. It is really hard to determine which guides are most accurate for modern times. Unfortunately, body types and sizes are continuously changing. Again, this is just for reference only. Don't blame us if your garments do not fit properly. Good luck with your sewing projects.
