How do you size an Anthropologie dress?

Anthropologie dress sizes are cut for regular or petite frames and range from XXS to XL; petites are labeled from 00P to 14p; and standard (regular) dress sizes are labeled from 0 - 16. The sizing takes into account bust, waist, and hip measurements, and are differentiated by natural or drop waist. This sizing chart is for regular sizes, from smallest to largest:

  • Bust: XXS, 31- 32 inches; XS, 33 - 34 inches; S, 35 - 36 inches; M, 37 - 38 inches; L, 39.5 - 41 inches; XL, 42.5 inches
  • Natural waist: XXS, 23 - 24 inches; XS, 25 - 26 inches; S, 27 - 28 inches; M, 29 - 30 inches; L, 31.5 - 33 inches; XL, 34.5 inches
  • Drop waist: XXS, 25 - 26 inches; XS, 27 - 28 inches; S, 29 - 30 inches; M, 31 - 32 inches; L, 33 - 35 inches; XL, 36.5 inches
  • Hips: XXS, 34 inches; XS, 35 - 36 inches; S, 37 - 38 inches; M, 39 - 40 inches; L, 41.5 - 43 inches; XL, 44.5 inches

The measurements for petite dresses are roughly about an inch or two smaller. The general dress measurement guidelines are:

  • Bust - Making sure that the tape measure is even across the shoulder blades, measure across the fullest part of the bust.
  • Natural waist - Measure around where the waist naturally tapers, usually directly in line with the navel; don't pull the tape measure too tight.
  • Drop waist - Measure approximately 1 1.2 inches below the natural waist.
  • Hips - Stand straight, feet together, and measure around the widest area of the hips.
