Sizing Instructions

We think the secret to a great look is a truly good fit. However, finding the "right size" is not always easy, especially when you don't have the luxury of a fitting room. Here is where the tape measure comes in. Follow the instructions, and compare your measurements to the charts below. If you are still unsure, give us the measurements and we will make sure you are choosing the right size for the garments you have selected.

Basic Measuring Instructions

Take measurements when the person is standing, if at all possible.
Measure around the fullest parts of the bust, waist and hips. For men, measure the chest and waist.
Keep the tape measure comfortably loose. Most exchanges occur when a garment is too small.
Inseam – Take a pair of pants that fit well. Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the pants (or to the bottom of the ankle bone if measuring a standing person). We hem to your inseam for free! Please note: If we hem to shorter than 28", the garment is non-returnable, so you may want to start with just one to make sure they fit before ordering several pair.
The sitting inseam – if the person being measured must remain seated, it may be difficult to locate the beginning of the crotch seam, in which case, add 2" to your measurement to allow for gathered fabric.

How to Find Your Size

Finding the perfect fit is essential for comfort and support. Use the guides below to measure for bras, panties, vests, undershirts, and clothing, ensuring you select the right size for your needs. If you're looking for unisex sweats, refer to the waist measurements provided. Expand each section below for detailed instructions, measurement tips, and size charts.

How To Measure for a Bra

Step 1: Find your band size

To get your band size, first measure around the underbust/diaphragm/ribcage directly under the bust. Make sure the measuring tape is snug and parallel to the ground. This measurement, in inches, is your band size. If the measurement is between sizes, round up. For example, if you measured 33, you would be most comfortable in a band size 34.

Step 2: Find your cup size

Next, measure around the fullest part of the bust with your bra on. If the fullest measurement is 2" more than your band measurement, your cup size would be a B – 3" more would be a C – 4" more would be a D – 5" more a DD, etc. So, if your underbust measurement is 34, and your fullest measurement is 36, the cup size would be a B. If the fullest measurement had been 37", your cup size would be a C, etc.

How To Determine an Inseam

Need help with inseams? Choosing an inseam is not easy unless you have the person or a pair of their existing pants to measure, but if all you know is their height, this chart may help. Keep in mind that some people have short legs and a long torso, and some have long legs and a short torso. Also, the majority of our pants are fairly long in the rise, which is the distance between the waistband and the crotch seam. Therefore, if they're on the borderline, you may want to choose the shorter of the two. If they are non-ambulatory, you can lean toward the longer side. It's not an exact science, but here you go!

Please note that we can always do a 27", 29" or 31" inseam upon request, just note it in the comment section of your order. Anything shorter than 26" will be non-returnable.

How To Measure an Inseam

Measuring an inseam is simple. All you need is a pair of well-fitting pants and a measuring tape.

These steps are especially helpful when measuring for adaptive pants for seniors, elderly individuals, or those with limited mobility. Whether you're buying for yourself or assisting a loved one, an accurate inseam ensures comfort and a better fit.

We hem all men's and women's pants at no extra charge. Most orders received before 10:00 A.M. Pacific Time requiring pants to be shortened ship the same day.

Click through the tabs below to follow each step. Each tab represents a step in the inseam measuring process, with simple instructions and visuals.

Start by laying a pair of well-fitting pants on a flat surface. Grab a flexible measuring tape to ensure an accurate inseam measurement.

Lift one pant leg slightly to ensure the inseam is fully extended and visible, then gently move it aside. This helps prepare for an accurate measurement.

Place the measuring tape at the crotch seam and extend it straight down along the inside of the pant leg until you reach the hem. Keep it taut for the most accurate measurement.

Hold the measuring tape at the crotch seam and extend it down the inside leg to the hem. Make sure the tape is straight, then note the final measurement.

You're all set! You've successfully measured the inseam. Now, you can use this measurement to find the perfect fit for your pants.
