Canadian Size Guide
Canadian sizing note: Women’s clothing and footwear in Canada commonly use the same numbered sizing system as the U.S. The chart below is labeled for Canadian shoppers and includes both centimetres and inches.
This is a general Canadian body measurement guide for products that do not include supplier garment measurements. It is not a guarantee that every style will fit identically. When a product page provides garment specific measurements, use those first.
How to measure
- Bust: measure around the fullest part of your bust while keeping the tape level.
- Waist: measure around your natural waist, usually the narrowest point.
- Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. If you fall between sizes, consider the fabric and intended fit. For close fitting or non stretch pieces, the larger size is usually the safer choice.
