Has anyone noticed it's the same size chart for every brand?  So misleading.  Some brands run smaller (Isaac Mizrahi) or larger (Susan Graver) than others.

@FranandZoe.  Are you aware of what we call the "click here" measurements?  Go to the item description and at the end of the text it directs you to click for specific measurements.  These are for the garment you are considering.  The measurements to which you refer are very general and pretty much useless for a good fit.  Measure a well-fitting garment from your closet and match those to the new garment.

I was NOT aware of this - thank you so much for this game changer!

Like Kachina I always go to the "click here" to see each individual garment's measurements and they do vary.  It's one of the things that I really like a lot about the Q.  Most other sites only offer generic size charts not specific to each garment.

You should also pay attention to the cut of the garment.

Thank you, @lolakimono.

ive learned to look carefully at the details of the garment on the models, where it hits the models, how loose it is around the torso, the width if the sleeves, how big the armhole is for sleeveless. You have to shop carefully because returns are costly and disappointing.
