Quiksilver started its women line called Roxy in 1990. Roxy is dedicated to active living and the board short lifestyle. I have alot of people asking about Roxy sizing. Is it a womens size or a junior size? This guide is to try and make this a bit more clear for you...

 The Roxy brand has 3 different lines. Roxy , which is junior/womens clothing ; Roxy Girl , which is for the younger girl; and Teenie Wahine which is for toddlers. Roxy is considered junior size by all large department stores and would be found in the juniors departments. Junior clothing sizes are odd numbers 00,0,1,3,5,7,9,11,13. Junior clothing is a bit more narrow than a womens sizes.  Therefore , I always let people know that Roxy runs a bit small! Womens sizes are even numbers 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18. In many Ebay listings (including mine) they are written as womens in title because of search. (more people would put in women than juniors). Since I mainly sell Roxy below is a chart for Roxy that may help in determining your size:

• Junior sizing         XS(0)          S(1-3)          M(5-7)          L(9-11)          XL(13)
• Bust                      30-31"          32-34"         35-37"           38-40"           41-43"
• Sleeve                   28-29"          30-31"         32-33"           33-34"           34-36"
• Waist                     22-24"          24-26"        26-28"          28-30"           30-32"
• Hip                        33-34"          34-36"         36-38"          38-40"           40-42"
• Inseam                   26-27"          28-29"         30-31"          31-32"           32-33"

Of course this chart will help but the best way to know if an article will fit you is to lay an old item you have flat on the floor and for a..

 T shirt or tops- measure armpit to armpit ,armpit to bottom

Shorts or pants-measure for Waist measure across top. Inseam measure from inside crotch down. Rise measure from top of waist to crotch.

Roxy bikinis run small. I always recommend buying the next size up.

Roxy has many different labels depending on where you purchase them. Roxy, Roxy paradise, etc. They are all authentic Roxy but I have found that they can all run a bit differently in size. For instance, Roxy Snow (their snowboard line) in hoodies runs a bit wider than some other Roxy hoodies. Roxy tees with Roxy paradise label inside run slightly wider than ones that just have the Roxy label inside. That is why I carefully measure all my items so you can compare at home.

I hope this guide was helpful any other questions ,just email me.
