How to Measure for Women’s Clothing

Sizing can vary between brands, so knowing your body measurements is one of the best ways to choose clothing that fits and feels right. Use this guide alongside the size chart and fit notes on each product page.

Why Measurements Matter

One brand’s size 12 may fit more like another brand’s 14, and the designer’s intended silhouette can also change how a garment sits. Compare your measurements with the brand guide, then look at the model, garment shape, shoulder and arm fit, leg width and finished length.

How to Take Your Measurements

Use a soft tape measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing. Stand naturally and keep the tape level without pulling it tight.

• Bust: Measure around your back, under your arms and across the fullest part of your chest.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, usually above the belly button. Breathe normally and do not pull the tape tight.
• Hips: Stand with your feet close together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat. Use a mirror to check that the tape is level.
• Inseam: Measure from the top of the inner thigh down to the ankle, or to where you want the trousers to finish, allowing for your preferred footwear.

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

• Check the brand size chart and compare it with your measurements.
• Read the product description and fit notes for guidance such as relaxed, slim, oversized or true to size.
• Consider how you prefer to wear the garment, particularly when a style is intentionally oversized.
• Save your measurements in your phone so they are easy to check while shopping.

At RAPT ONLINE, we want your clothes to fit you, not the other way around.

RAPT Standard Size Guide

We add RAPT size recommendations and fit notes to selected garments as information becomes available. Some generous-fit styles may suit sizes 24 or 26, while smaller-fit garments may suit a size 6. Because the intended fit and your preferred fit can differ, use the recommendation together with Anj’s fit notes and the individual product details.

Model Sizing Information

We include model details from our brands where available to help show how a garment fits. Many supplier models are around 5 ft 8 in to 5 ft 11 in and wear approximately a size 8, so Anj also models selected pieces to provide another useful point of reference.

Use model information as a guide alongside your own measurements, the product size chart and fit notes. If you need help choosing, contact us.
