A Note About T-shirt Sizes
A Note About T-shirt Sizes
I use a different system for specifying t-shirt sizes.
My sizes for t-shirts run from 1-4. Please look at the chart below
to find the actual size of the finished garment (plus or mins about 1-2 inches,
which is the common size deviation in custom t-shirts). Here’s how to use the chart:
- Measure your bust or hip—whichever measurement is largest on you.
- Decide how loosely you like your clothing to fit. This is called ease. A good
ease measurement for a slightly over-sized look is about 4 inches (10 cms).
Pick your own preferred ease and add that to your bust or hip measurement. - Look at the chart below and find the next larger size that gives you that ease
Here is an example:
I measure about 54 inches across the chest. I like very loose clothing. If I add 4 inches to 54, I get 58 inches.
The closest size to 58 inches for me is a size 4, which has an actual measurement of about 60 inches.
I would order a size 4 for myself.

Below is the manufacturer’s actual suggested for each size.
