How do I find my size at Universal Standard?

We recommend measuring yourself for the best fit. Measure around your bust at the fullest point, your waist at the narrowest part, and your hips at the fullest part. Compare your measurements to our size chart to find your perfect fit. Our sizes range from 00-40 (4XS to 4XL). If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Visit our Find My Size page at universalstandard.com/pages/find-my-size for detailed guidance.

What is Universal Sizing?

We thought conventional sizing seemed skewed, so we shifted the spotlight to reflect the real bell curve. If the average woman wears a size 18, then that should be called a Medium, right? Our sample size is an 18, and we engineer every single size from there to ensure the perfect fit for all of US. Our sizes range from 00-40 (4XS to 4XL in Universal Standard sizing).

How do Universal Standard clothes fit?

Our fits vary by style. Skimming fit is designed for a comfortable fit that lays closer to the body without clinging.

Our model information typically shows the size worn and the model's measurements for reference.

What materials does Universal Standard use?

We use premium, carefully selected fabrics for comfort and durability. Each product page displays the specific fabric composition and care instructions under the Fabric & Care section. Our materials are chosen to maintain their quality wash after wash. Common fabrics include our signature Moro Ponte, premium cotton blends, and luxurious liquid jersey.

My favorite ponte skirt

"Polished fitted waist with great swish and volume. Wonderful with vintage looks without being costume like."

— Katherine S. (5/5)

Love love love

"This skirt drapes so beautifully and is very slimming. It is instantly one of my favorite pieces and I know I’ll wear it for years to come."

— Aubrey C. (5/5)

a perfect fall/winter skirt

"The fabric is heavy, high quality, dense, warm, but still moves well. The pleating gives the skirt plenty of body and movement without bulk at the waist. Pockets are well sized and the depth of the pockets is good. Length is great on me, might be a bit long on some people. I would buy this in a blue if it existed (hint hint)."

— Hanne B. (5/5)

Comfy and cute

"Comes in handy for the summer with short sleeved sweaters and should be fun in winter with tights."
