Measurements

PLEASE DON'T GO BY THE SIZE LABELS - REFER TO MY MEASUREMENTS.

Size labels sewn into the garments by manufacturers are notoriously inaccurate. Often, the size difference is so off-base that I wonder if they weren't sewn-in by a disgruntled employee somewhere.  Additionally, there's the issue of whether a sweater labeled "Large" might be a child's or teenager's size large as opposed to a adult's.

Thus, I measure every sweater - new and old - and those measurements appear in the pop-up size chart on each sweater's page.  

If you receive a sweater that appears to be the wrong size, due to the size label, please try it on. Sometimes I forget to cut out the inaccurate size labels. 

 Here's how I measure sweaters...

All measurements are made with the sweaters lying flat.

For an accurate comparison, I recommend you take a one of your sweaters that fits well and measure it lying accordingly and compare with measurements taken from the sweater you're considering.

Note: When measuring the chest, I measure across the front, then double that measurement.
