Ann Taylor Size Chart & Fit Guide

Size & Fit Guide

Ann Taylor Size Chart

Covers tops, dresses, bottoms, petite and tall fits, plus shoes — sized 00–18 and XXS–XXL. Charts show body measurements taken over your usual undergarments, not garment measurements.

Tops & Blouses 00 – 18

Body measurements taken over your usual undergarments, with arms relaxed at your sides. If you fall between two sizes, size up for woven styles with no stretch.

Fit character

Ann Taylor tailoring is polished and close to true to size; soft knits and blouses can run slightly generous, so many shoppers go down one size in relaxed styles.

Sleeve measuring

With a bent elbow, measure from the center back of your neck, across the shoulder, then from shoulder to elbow and elbow to wrist.

Dresses 00 – 18

Body measurements. Bust leads the fit for most dress styles — match your bust first, then check waist and hip for fitted sheaths.

Fabric tells you how it fits

Ponte knit and bi-stretch styles are forgiving — you can size down if between sizes. Non-stretch cotton, linen, crepe and tweed have no give, so buy your chart size.

Between two sizes?

Let the fabric be the tie-breaker: go down in stretchy knits, stay true to size or up in structured wovens — especially across the shoulders and bust.

Jeans, Pants & Skirts 00 – 18

Body measurements. Hips are measured about 8 in (20 cm) below your natural waist, standing with heels together. Fit your waist first — the cut relaxes slightly through the day.

Inseams by fit

Full-length jeans run about a 26 in inseam, petite about 24 in, and ankle styles start around 25 in. Tall styles add length for anyone 5′9″ and over.

Curvy fit

Curvy styles are fitted at the waist and fuller through the hip and thigh — designed to close the back waist gap if you are smaller-waisted and fuller-hipped.

Petite Tops 00P – 16P

Cut for 5′4″ (163 cm) and under — shorter sleeves, torso and shoulder width, not just a shorter hem. Body measurements.

Pointed toes run narrow

A pointed pump fits differently from the same size in a rounded flat or sandal — consider a half size up for pointed or strappy styles.

Measure late in the day

Feet swell slightly by afternoon. Trace your foot on paper and measure heel to longest toe, then fit the larger of your two feet.

How to Measure

Bust

With your arms at your sides, measure the fullest part of your chest keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Sleeve

Hold your arm with a bend at the elbow. Starting at the center of the back of your neck, measure across your shoulder, then from shoulder to elbow, and elbow to wrist.

Waist

Position the tape where your waist is smallest and measure all the way around — this is your natural waist. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

Hips

Stand with your heels together, then measure around your body about 8 in below your waist. For Petite fits, measure 7 in below the waist; for Tall fits, 9 in below.

Inseam

Measure your best-fitting pants from the seam at the crotch to the hem, to the nearest ½ in.

Classic 00 – 18

For you if most clothing fits without alterations. Hems and proportions follow the standard chart above.

Curvy 00 – 18

Fitted just right at the waist and fuller through the hip and thigh, to eliminate waist gapping. Also available in Petite.

Tall 0T – 18T

Extra length and updated proportions for anyone 5′9″ and above — longer sleeves, longer torso and inseam.

Care & Returns

Returns: unworn items with tags attached can be returned within the standard return window; keep your order confirmation for reference.
Fabric care: check the garment’s Fabric & Care panel — ponte and bi-stretch knits hold their shape best when hung to dry; wool suiting and tweed usually prefer dry cleaning.
Fit benchmark: note the size and fit of an Ann Taylor piece that fits you perfectly — it is the fastest shortcut for future orders in similar fabrics.

Conversions follow Ann Taylor’s published sizing. Measurements are approximate and provided for reference only.
