Cato Fashions Size Chart
Measuring Guide
Please use the size chart to determine the best fit for you. If your measurements fall between sizes, order the next size up.
For best results, take measurements over your undergarments. If possible, have someone else measure you, as it is much more accurate.
Bust
Measure the fullest part of your bust, with your arms relaxed at your sides. Keep the tape level across your shoulder blades.
Natural Waist
Measure around your waist (bend sideways- the crease is it).
Hips
Stand with your feet slightly apart. Measure around the fullest part of your hips (approx. 7" to 9" below your natural waist).
Inseam
Place your favorite pair of pants on a flat surface and measure inside pant leg seam from crotch to hem.
Junior / Misses
Junior/Misses sizes 2-18 and XS-XL are designed to fit the average frame and proportions.
