How do I find my size at Universal Standard?

We recommend measuring yourself for the best fit. Measure around your bust at the fullest point, your waist at the narrowest part, and your hips at the fullest part. Compare your measurements to our size chart to find your perfect fit. Our sizes range from 00-40 (4XS to 4XL). If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Visit our Find My Size page at universalstandard.com/pages/find-my-size for detailed guidance.

What is Universal Sizing?

We thought conventional sizing seemed skewed, so we shifted the spotlight to reflect the real bell curve. If the average woman wears a size 18, then that should be called a Medium, right? Our sample size is an 18, and we engineer every single size from there to ensure the perfect fit for all of US. Our sizes range from 00-40 (4XS to 4XL in Universal Standard sizing).

How do Universal Standard clothes fit?

Perfect for Florida weather

"So lightweight, great length (just above knees, I’m 5’7), very cute"

— Jessica M. (5/5)

Itchy

"The fabric is SO itchy. I haven't washed it yet but based on the other review which I foolishly did not heed, that doesn't help. Sadly the dress was final sale when I bought it so I'm stuck with it. It is flattering and I would love it otherwise but it's not even wearable."

Fabulous fit, light fabric

"The styling is great— this linen dress has tailoring that keeps it looking trim but with the casual summer fit I like. Not voluminous like some other linen options. The fabric is fairly thin though- I need to watch my undergarments so they don’t show through. I got the orchid color and love it. True to size, I recommend get your normal size so the bust and butt work out."

ITCHY

"So I share this because you would probably not know until washing, but this dress is ITCHY. I have a couple Rubicon dresses already in a stretchy cotton and they are fine (get wrinkly if you look at them) so I thought I would try this beautiful Acai colored dress. The color is beautiful. The new straps inside to roll up your sleeves annoy me because I will never use them, and I can feel them there. The fabric, once washed, is itchy as all heck. I'm hoping a couple subsequent washes will break it down enough that it doesn't annoy me to wear."
