why does a size “S” fit me differently than my friend how to shop for fit not size?
By Gazal Jain, Founder ·
You and your friend both grab a size S. She looks effortless but it’s ill-fitted for you around the bust or waist , Sound similar no? Most women find themselves in this same situation
Nothing’s wrong with you. Sizes are loose suggestions, not measurements. Every brand cuts from its own fit model, and a small in one store can be a medium somewhere else and in bust, hips, torso length and shoulder width and two people in the same size can have completely different body proportions
Look for details that adjust, like a waist buckle or wrap closure or a corset. The Monday Blue dress, with its adjustable waist buckle, lets you cinch for structure or loosen after lunch. The Burgundy Bloom kurti with its corset like details on both sides gives you an easy, comfortable shape that still looks put together.
