Find your just-right fit
Most Cotton Postcards pieces use a relaxed, unisex fit designed for everyday wear. If you like a closer women’s fit, consider sizing down one. For an intentionally oversized look, size up 1–2.
How to measure (quick + foolproof)
- Grab a favorite tee/sweatshirt that fits how you like.
- Lay it flat on a table.
- Measure:
- Chest width: armpit seam to armpit seam.
- Body length: highest shoulder point to bottom hem.
- Sleeve length (sweatshirts/hoodies): shoulder seam to cuff.
Compare your numbers to the chart below. Measurements shown are garment measurements, not body measurements.
Fit tips
- 100% cotton may tighten slightly after the first wash; heathers/tri-blends drape a bit more.
- Garment dye and handmade production can vary by ~½–1".
- Between sizes? Choose the larger size for a looser, comfier drape.
