Sometimes the 1x is used in the store. All clothing at our store is meant to fit an 18w or over unless otherwise specified. Some manufacturers make it impossible to fit the scale to an average. Please note: A 1x will fit the 18w person and occasionally the 20w person.
Individual variations always happen, bigger hips, smaller shoulders, short or long waisted, just let us know. (When the company gives us a 1x, 2x, 3x to fit up to the 3x = 24w woman, their scale has been used. We will try to make the notes more noticeable in the future.)

A & B = This is your bra size. Measure around the chest, just under the arms and above the breast. If it is an odd number, add 1". Double check your bra size by measuring around your ribs, just below your bust, and adding 3". For example, if you measure 39", your bra size is 42. If bra size is an odd number, round up to the next even number.
Cup size - Measure around the fullest point of bust, keeping the tape level without pulling tight. The difference between measurements A & B equals cup size.
Difference 1"= A, 2" = B, 3"= C, 4"= D, 5" = DD, 6" = DDD/E,7" = F, 8" = FF, 9" = G, 10" = H
B = To measure your bust size, measure under the arms, around the fullest part of chest.
C = Waist - measure around the natural waistline.

Rise = waist back to center.
Petite women’s sizes are shorter in the buttocks and stomach rise, shoulder area, and have a shorter bust to waist length. The rise is more important in considering the garment ordered. Some women can be short with an average proportion or tall with a petite proportion. We have certain manufacturers who are especially good for the taller women. Present customers include 6’4".
