Button-down shirts can pull at the bust or chest even when the waist fits, so check garment chest width when available.

Garment chest width is measured flat across the shirt. Double it to compare with body chest or bust circumference.

How to measure before choosing a size

Measure over light clothing or underwear and keep the tape parallel to the floor.
For tops, jackets, and dresses, start with bust or chest, then check waist and hips.
For pants and jeans, prioritize waist, hips, rise, and inseam instead of the label alone.
If you are between sizes, choose by garment fit: size up for structured pieces and compare stretch for knit items.

FAQ

What measurements do I need for a shirt?

Use chest or bust for casual shirts; use neck and sleeve too for button-down or dress shirts.

How should a shirt fit at the chest?

It should button or lie flat without pulling, while still allowing comfortable arm movement.

Are unisex shirts men sizes?

Many unisex shirts are closer to men chest sizing, so women may prefer sizing down for a fitted look.
