How to Find Your Perfect Size When Shopping Online

Online shopping is a modern miracle—endless options, no fitting room lines, and the ability to browse in your pajamas. But let’s be honest: nothing kills the excitement of a new arrival quite like realizing it doesn’t fit. The struggle is real, but don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to ensure your Never A Wallflower picks fit like a dream, every time.


1. Get to Know Your Measurements

Before you start clicking ‘add to cart,’ let’s talk numbers. Your usual “I’m a medium” may not always translate across different brands. That’s why knowing your bust, waist, and hip measurements is key. Grab a soft measuring tape and measure yourself (or recruit a friend—wine and measuring tape, anyone?).

  • Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.

  • Waist: Find your natural waistline, usually the narrowest part of your torso.

  • Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hips and booty.

Tip: Keep the tape snug but not tight—you still want to breathe.


2. Consult the Size Chart (We Made One Just for You!)

Every brand has its own sizing quirks, and Never A Wallflower is no exception. That’s why we created a size chart to help guide you (check it out above!). Once you’ve got your measurements, compare them to our chart to find your best fit.

Still unsure? If you’re between sizes, consider how you like your clothes to fit. Prefer a tailored look? Size down. Want a little extra movement? Go up.


3. Check the Fabric & Fit Details

Fabric matters! Stretchy fabrics like jersey or spandex blends offer a bit more flexibility, while structured pieces (hello, crisp cotton poplin) may have less give. Always check product descriptions for fit notes—if we say “runs large” or “fits snug,” we mean it.


4. Compare to Your Closet Favorites

If you already have a well-fitting piece at home, use it as a reference. Lay it flat and measure key areas, then compare those numbers to our size chart. This trick works especially well for staple items like blouses and dresses.
