What's Up With These Crazy Sizes??

Brands Fashionista Sizing You are worth it

     Most of you should have received your Elizabeth Dean size card before Christmas.  If not, ask one of our employees for your free card and fill it out with your measurements and sizes to assist you in consignment shopping.  

     At times, you may run across items in our store and be unable to determine your size.  Elizabeth Dean Boutique does carry a few lines of clothing that have their own sizing systems.  We are frequently asked about European shoe sizes, Chico's sizing, and some jean sizing, so check the charts below to determine your fit for any of these.  Also, if you run across any Torrid brand items, be aware that their sizing is also not the norm.

Chico's Sizing Chart

Torrid Size Chart   

 

 

Last, but not least, I went back and added a sizing chart for jeans.  Frequently you will see women's jeans sized in inches, just like men's jeans. Take these sizes with a grain of salt-  I checked about 5 charts and NONE were the same!  These are the "averages" that I came across. Again, TRY ON THE CLOTHES to be sure they will fit, but this chart should give you a starting point on sizing.  

 

                                             size  0= 25 inch waist

                                             size  2= 26 inch waist

                                             size 4= 27 inch waist

                                             size 6= 28 inch waist

                                             size 8= 29 inch waist

                                            size 10=30 inch waist

                                            size 12=31 inch waist

                                            size 14=32 inch waist

                                            size 16=33 inch waist

                                            size 18=34 inch waist

 

These Banana Republic helps you out a little bit by giving you BOTH sizes on these jeans.  The tag shows that this pair is a size 30, which is equal to a size 10.  

 

                        

 

 

(Take note:  these waist sizes listed are only "size labels" and do not correctly line up with the measurements you would take with a tape measure.  Find your current size, for example size 14, and you would choose jeans labled in this manner in a size 32.)

 

Happy sizing, Ladies!
