In the description of clothing items, where the 'Click Here' for the exact measurements are listed for that specific item, what does HPS mean?

I never did get a reply from Live Chat. So TIA

Here's an illustrated link that should answer all your questions and help you get the proper fit.  Personally, I find D & C jackets a little roomy.

Excellent!!  I knew HPS meant high point shoulder, but I assumed it was midway between the collar seam and the sleeve seam.  But it actually is the high point of the seam where it meets the collar or neckline.

I didn't see the QVC measurement which I often look at called "Across Back Shoulder, Seam to Seam."  If it's too big across the shoulders, it's not going to work.  Then I check the hips.  I've often ordered too big, but never too small for some reason.
