​OVERVIEW:  Madam Chino designs exhibit built-in adjustability and flexibility using drawstrings, elastic, stretchy-fibers.  Knits are relatively stretchy and where many Madam Chino Items are designed to hug the figure with built in give, other product items note the important measurements needed for suggested fit.  T-shirt fabrics are stretchy and will usually fit within 2" of the size indicated, so these sizes run on the smaller end for slimmer fit.  General adult sizes are listed for women's measurements below in terms of widths using Full Bust, Natural Waist, and Full Hip.  We label our sizes using measures that are closest to a standard Misses Petite.   

MEASUREMENTS:  Inspect the chart and your figure by measuring with a string and then setting it to a ruler if a tape measure isn't available. Please note that your measurements are consistent with the desired fit which is depicted in the actual product model photos.  Lengths are presented in specific detail for each item in the individual product notes, change with dresses from size to size by 1" total: 1/2" on top and 1/2" on the bottom.  Sizes are determined by widths shown in the listings below for between XS and CUSTOM.  For Dresses in the case that you fall into two different categories, purchase based on the top sizes and indicate the custom skirt size for no extra custom charge!
