How to pick your size
We have a new upper size chart starting for Spring 2022! Base on your body measurements to buy. If you are a returning customer and wear a 1X or higher, you will now be one size smaller.
While you're thinking about sizing, check out the weird history and see why all size charts are different.
*This size chart is a general guide on which size may fit you best based on your body measurements, this is not based on item measurements. As each body is different, order based on your fit preference and view the item page for additional fit remarks.
