sizing guidelines
There are no uniform sizing standards in the apparel
industry. Sizes, shapes and fits will vary from brand to brand. Therefore, we
suggest you use our size charts below as a general guide only and not as a
definitive size listing for any one item. We provide measurements for many items
in our product descriptions. When a bust or waist measurement is listed for one
size, you can determine the measurements for other sizes by adding 2 inches per
size to the number listed. For example, if a bust measures 38" on a size 1x, the
2x will be 40" and the 3x will be 42". Lengths are generally consistent across a
size range. If a size 14 item has a length of 31", it is likely that the size 26
will also have a 31" length. The size chart is a general guideline and not a
definitive measurement for all the items listed on alight.com. We are always
available to discuss an item's fit with you. We can be reached via email or
phone at 516 367 1095. We are open Monday-Friday from 9:30AM to 6PM EST.
If your measurements fall between the numbers listed please order the next
larger size. When in doubt, order a size up.
WHERE TO MEASURE
BUST
Measure under your arms at the fullest part of your
bust.
NATURAL WAIST
Measure around your natural waistline,
keeping tape comfortably loose.
HIPS
Stand with your
feet together and measure around the fullest part of your
hips.
This chart is a general plus size chart. Items on the site may vary from the
measurements listed.
