GET THE RIGHT SIZE WHEN SHOPPING ONLINE

Know your measurements, this will help you buy outfits from your measurements not just your size

first you need to find a tape measure, pen and paper, note down your chest, waist, hip and height measurements. Not too tight or too loose, you should be able to put your finger under the tape, so you can get the best fit for you.
Stand straight with tight clothing or in you underwear.
your bust size, measure under your pits and around the fullest part of your chest this is your bust circumference. (note your bust size is not your bra size)
your waist size, measure around smallest part of your waist just above your belly button this is your waist circumference.
your hip size, measure around the widest part of your hips/buttocks this is your hip circumference.
your height, this can tell you were the hemline will fall mini, knee, mid calf or full length. Measure from the hollow of your neck or top of your shoulders to the floor. Or waist to floor when you are looking at a skirt.
you may have a best fit outfit or simular type, style and fabric (stretch or non stretch) item in your warddrobe, to what you are planning to purchase then you can compare those measurements carefully.

Loose or form fitting silhouettes

Loose fitting tent, shift, and yoke dresses are much easier to eyeball size-wise than more form fitting blouson and sheath dress/skirts.

If you're looking at a form fitting it's crucial to get true measurements of your bust waist and hips to ensure that it fits comfortably all around.

Looking at layering active jackets

Layering can take you into the next size and each underneath additional layer can add 2-5 cm
