Sizing Help - Womenswear

When buying fashion via mail order it's important to choose the right size, so we recommend double checking your measurements and referring to the size charts below.

Size and fit can vary from brand-to-brand and depending on the cut, fabric and styling of the garment. The size charts below are as a guide only but should help you to order the correct size.

Scroll down for sizing charts for the following brands: Alice Collins, Anise, Basler, Betty Barclay, Chesca, Frank Lyman, Frank Usher, Gardeur, Gelco, Gerry Weber, Gina Bacconi, Gray & Osbourn, Joseph Ribkoff and Michèle.

Womenswear measurement guide The charts on these pages show metric and imperial measurements and how you can convert either to ensure you order the correct size code.
A. Bust Take measurement across fullest part of the bust and across shoulder blades.
B. Waist Measure around the natural waistline.
C. Hips Measure 8" (20cm) below waistline at fullest part. It is easier if you stand with your feet together, to get a more accurate measurement.
D. Inside Leg Measure from the top of the inside leg to where the trousers are normally worn on the shoes.
