Check Garment Measurements Before Ordering Online

Save the seller size chart for the exact item and the measurement instructions it uses. Record whether the numbers describe a body or the garment itself.

Start with your own situation

Save the seller size chart for the exact item and the measurement instructions it uses. Record whether the numbers describe a body or the garment itself.

Work through the record

Compare like measurements in the same units. Measure a garment you like using a stated method, and note differences in stretch, cut and your preferences rather than assuming a matching number ensures fit.

Your printable worksheet

Use one sheet per online garment measurement record. Fill these fields: Item / chart URL / date / body or garment / measurement method / unit / comparison / unknown. Leave missing information marked unknown; do not silently substitute an estimate.

Make the next decision

Resolve unclear chart definitions with the seller before deciding. Keep the applicable return policy beside the comparison because measurements are information, not a fit guarantee.
