Understanding "True to Size"

We feel your pain and wish as much as you do that there was a universal size chart all manufacturers adhered to. As women, we know firsthand that fit can vary from brand to brand and item to item. 

When we say an item runs "true to size," we’re referring to the size you’d typically try on first when shopping. For example, if you usually reach for a size Medium first, that’s what we consider your true size. We use different models and do our best to explain how each piece fits in our descriptions, ensuring you have all the info you need to choose the right size for you.

Using our Size Chart: A Starting Point

To make your shopping experience as smooth as possible, we include a link to our size chart in every product listing. This chart serves as a helpful starting point for finding your fit. Additionally, for certain items, we provide the manufacturer's size chart to give you even more guidance. By combining these resources with our detailed fit descriptions, we aim to ensure you feel confident in selecting the right size for your unique style.

Product Descriptions: Your Secret Weapon

Our product descriptions and photos will help you understand how each item may look and feel on you. We break down the fit into categories like relaxed, fitted, or oversized, so you know exactly what to expect. This way, whether you're going for a comfy, laid-back vibe or something more tailored, you can shop with confidence.

Decoding Denim Sizing

Navigating denim sizing can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to the difference between even and odd sizes. Even sizes are often used in women’s fashion, but the denim brands we carry (Judy Blue, Risen, Mica, Vervet and Lovervet) utilize odd sizes or waist measurements. We always list both numbers on our tags and listings.

When selecting denim, starting with a size down from your typical even size is usually the right choice. A bit of stretch is the key to comfortable denim so we always look for high-quality fabrics that include some Spandex, Lycra, Elastane, Rayon or Polyester. We find that our brands have great recovery, which means they hold their shape well. That said, stretch fabrics can wear out over time, especially with friction or if you dry your jeans with heat. We suggest purchasing the smallest size you can comfortably wear for the best fit long-term.
