ALWAYS CHECK THE ITEM MEASUREMENTS -
MANUFACTURER SIZES DO VARY.
Sizes like 1X, XL 14, 12 ..... are a guideline but not a set measurment.
(We have seen 1X range from 32 - 50 inches)
Unfortuately Ebay does not yet have a JUNIOR PLUS category and many of the more trendy and sexy styles maybe in this category as they may be form fitting or lower cut. These items often run smaller and may have tag sizes as XL / 1XL / 2XL .... or odd number sizing 13/15/17...
Most Sellers list measurements in Inches in Every Listing

We Measure our items by Lying them on a Flat Surface, non stretched. If you are not sure or the seller does not indicate you should always ask before placing a bid on an item. Some sellers use their distributors measuements wich are very liberal. ( I usually find the clothing to measure smaller. If they were worn to maximum stretch then we would all look like a stuffed sausage! )
-
I like my clothing form fitting, some people do not. If you like the way a particular item in your wardrobe fits you measure it and compare the bust waist and hem/hips to the listed item.
-
Your Bra Size is not necissarily the bust size. You need to take into account your cup size as well. Most Clothing Manufacturers base their sizing on the average cup size which is a B / C / D depending on the Market (Junior, Junior Plus, Misses, Plus).
-
Take into account the items material and amount of stretch (ie Satin/Rayon/Polyester..). If an item is Pull Over/On you want to make sure that the item will stretch enough over your shoulder or hips without tearing at the seams.
We hope these tips help you get a better fit and shopping experience. Please don't hestate to ask for more information. Thank you.
