Standard size charts
The charts below show standard body sizes (not finished garment sizes), and are meant to be a general guide only. You will need to add extra ease when planning your garment; just how much ease to allow will depend on the particular garment, and whether you prefer a loose or a tighter fit. All measurements are in inches.
