Ultimate Clothing Measurement Overview Guide

The benefits of having clothing measurements in your online listings are tremendous. For women especially, across the board sizes such as 6 or 12 just don’t cut it for a comfortable fit, as each brand has their own sizing standards — and every one of those standards can chaotically vary across brands. Realistically, most people can’t even go into an actual retail store in person and buy a piece of clothing without trying it on first, so overcoming this fear online can be exponentially more challenging. Every single body is different, and by offering your potential buyers easy measuring tools to utilize, you’ll generate not only more business for your brand, but you’ll also decrease total returns by upwards of 50%.

So, how does Sizely work and how can you put it to use for your business?

For an online retail seller, Sizely allows you to generate measurement templates across 120+ clothing types. This means potential buyers have it easier than ever when shopping for the right “fit”.

By just showing the exact measurement in a clear and easy to understand visual, online businesses and sellers on marketplaces such as eBay, Postmark, and Etsy see increased sales by up to 26%, as well as an increase in the overall buyer confidence by up to a whopping 70% when using the Sizely templates. Whether your shoppers need a template showcasing just a handful of common measurement areas, or something a little more exclusive, you can create a measuring guide with Sizely that makes the entire shopping experience seamless, quick, and enjoyable.

Sizely gives the seller the power to create ultra-specific and precise templates, covering all possible options from units of measurement in centimeters or inches, down to even the particular brand the clothing is attributed to.

What platforms are supported?

The short answer is all, this includes marketplaces such es eBay, Etsy, Tradesy, Poshmark Mercari as well as more larger platforms such as Amazon.

So, what are the clothing categories?

Whether you’re looking for a template for a simple pair of sunglasses, or a slew of fancy bridesmaids dresses, Sizely covers any and everything under the sun when it comes to clothing. Whereas other online retailers can stress buyers out with the limited options available when it comes to size charts, Sizely invites the most specificity to make sure every clothing need and want is covered. Now, let’s dive in to just how expansive Sizely’s templates really are!
