How to use body and garment measurements, leave movement room, and check seasonal return limits before ordering.
Quick answer
Chest, waist, hip, inseam, height, and torso length can matter in different costumes. Do not convert from everyday clothing size unless the exact product chart tells you to.
Sitting, stairs, dancing, outerwear, and underlayers change the fit. A close visual silhouette may still need practical room at the shoulders, seat, and knees.
Seasonal, intimate, opened, altered, makeup, wig, and special-order items can have different return rules. Confirm the exact product's current terms before checkout.
