Am I size Junior, Plus, Misses, Petite, Tall, etc.?
This one of the most common questions I receive at WiseSize.
Five years ago, I didn't know the meaning of Rise, Hip or even what an Inseam was. Now, after hundreds of emails, many customer questions, and thousands of measurements; I have pretty much become a Qualified Size Professional QSP!
Because only 6% of the U.S. population is considered “average”, there are so many more sizes to consider. Every gal has her own special individual unique size and knowing your size is wise, especially when you buy online. Here is a general guideline in USA women's sizing, understand that sizes vary by brand name:
To get your correct measurements, have someone measure you with a seamstress measuring tape while you are standing straight and tall.
Odd numbers are for Junior Sizing, which are a bit narrower in the hips than Misses Sizes:
5/7 = junior small
9/11 = junior medium
13/15 = junior large
17 = junior XL
Even numbers are for Misses sizing; average bust, waist and hips:
2/4 extra small 32" to 33" bust 23" to 25" waist 33" to 34" hip
6/8 small 34" to 36" bust 25" to 27" waist 35" to 37" hip
10/12 medium 36" to 38" bust 27" to 29" waist 38" to 40" hip
14/16 large 39" to 41" bust 30" to 33" waist 40" to 43" hip
18 XL 42" to 44" bust 34" to 36" waist 44" to 46" hip
Sizes followed with “W” are Women's Sizing; a bit wider in the hips and waist and here enters the “X” sizing as well:
16w-18w = 1X
20w-22w = 2X
24w-26w = 3X
28w-30w = 4X
32w-34w = 5X
36w-38w = 6X
40w-42w = 7X
Sizes followed by a “P” petite are us women 5'4” and shorter. Leg inseam for petite will be 28” to 30”.
Sizes followed by a “T” are for us taller girls. Leg inseam for a tall will be 33” to 35”. Beyond that, you would be considered Ultra Tall.
WiseSize.com has all of the sizes listed above (and more) and we are happy to help you find that perfect size you need for the special shape that is uniquely you!

Useful to know! I'm surprised at that statistic, no wonder why it's so hard for everyone to find jeans that fit right!

When I'm shopping for petite clothes, I see S/P, PS, 6P tags. There's one tag I don't understand. What does "T/P" mean?
