Current Size Chart for Women’s Apparel
Here is the current women’s apparel size chart that can be found on many women’s apparel product pages. As you likely know, each size is represented from Small (6/8) to 3X (26/28) with measurements for the Bust, Waist and Hips. The new size chart includes measurements such as Sweep & Length. In addition, each new size chart provides measurement instructions to help you find your personal measurements at home.
What Details Are Included In the New Size Charts?
The new details will be specific to the garment you’ve selected. For example, new measurements for many Coats & Sweaters and Dresses & Skirts include Sweep and Length for the top, as well as detailed waist, rise, hip and inseam measurements for the pants. The terms are defined under the garment measurements, and include some basic instructions to help you figure out your personal garment measurements at home.

Not trying to sound dumb but on the new measurements what is the sweep?
Hi Devon,
Thanks for your question! Sweep is the circumference of the bottom hem of the garment. It’s measured by laying the garment flat, measuring the bottom hem from edge to edge, and then doubling that number.
