Find your Chico's size
Measure your body (not a garment) with a soft tape, snug but not tight.
Enter your measurements to see your Chico's size.
Fit tip: Chico's uses its own 0 to 4 sizing that runs large (a 0 is roughly a US 4 to 6), so size down for a snug fit.
How to measure
- Chest / bust: around the fullest part, keeping the tape level.
- Waist: around the narrowest part, usually at the belly button.
- Hips: around the widest part of your seat.
- Foot length: stand on paper, mark from heel to longest toe, then measure the line.
Use a soft tape over light clothing, snug but not tight.

- For jeans, your measured waist matters more than the size number; cross-check with the women’s jeans size chart.
- Measure over thin clothing with a soft tape: bust at the fullest point, waist at the narrowest, hips at the widest.
