A good clothing size chart template turns a pile of tape-measure numbers into a table that customers, pattern cutters and buyers can actually read. This page offers 12 free, editable size chart templates covering apparel, gloves, kids’ clothing, shoes, rings, belts, diamonds, jeans, shirts and two full body measurement charts, plus six extra reference images you can study for layout ideas. Whether you sell dresses online, run a small sewing studio or just want to keep your own measurements on one printable sheet, start with the layout closest to your product and change the numbers.
When to Use a Clothing Size Chart
Use a size chart when you sell, buy or sew clothing and need to convert measurements into a size: online shops, tailors, school uniform suppliers, costume makers and anyone ordering for someone else. A printed chart on a fitting-room wall or product page cuts returns and guesswork.
What Is Included in These Templates
- Size columns: XS to XXL or numeric sizes for men, women and children.
- Measurement rows: chest or bust, waist, hip, inseam and height in inches and centimeters.
- Conversion help: notes for US, UK and EU sizes where the sample includes them.
- Blank versions: editable tables you can fill with your own brand measurements.
How to Fill Out a Clothing Size Chart
- Open the chart that matches your garment type: tops, trousers, dresses, kids or uniforms.
- Measure a real garment or a person, using a soft tape held snug, not tight.
- Type your measurements into each size column, using the same unit throughout.
- Add a short how-to-measure note under the table, for example “measure at the fullest part of the chest”.
- Save as PDF or image and place it on your product page, label or fitting room.
Key Points to Check
- Units: show inches and centimeters side by side to avoid confusion.
- Brand differences: sizes vary between brands, so use your own measurements.
- Body versus garment: say whether the figures are body or finished garment sizes.
- Rounding: use consistent increments such as 2 cm or 1 inch.
Tips
- Measure three samples of each size to catch production variation.
- Offer a fit note, such as “relaxed” or “slim”.
- Update the chart whenever a supplier changes the pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Clothing Size Charts
How do I find my size using a size chart?
Measure your bust or chest, waist and hips with a soft tape, then match each number to the columns. If the numbers land in different sizes, follow the seller’s advice, which is often to choose the size for your largest measurement.
What is the difference between US, UK and EU sizes?
Each region numbers sizes differently, and the gap varies by brand. A women’s US size 8 often corresponds to a UK 12 and an EU 40, but always check the specific brand’s own chart.
Should I list body measurements or garment measurements?
Body measurements are easier for shoppers to compare with their own numbers. Garment measurements help when the fit is very fitted or oversized. Say clearly which one your chart shows.
How do I make a size chart for my online clothing store?
Pick a template, replace the sample figures with your pattern’s real measurements, show inches and centimetres, and export it as an image or PDF. Link it beside the size selector on each product page.
Which chart should I use for children’s clothing?
Use an age-based chart that also lists height, chest and waist. Children of the same age vary a lot, so height is usually the more dependable guide.
How do I measure ring or belt size for a chart?
For a ring, measure the inner diameter or circumference of a ring that already fits. For a belt, measure the length from the buckle end to the hole that is used most, not the total length of the strap.
Can I edit these templates and print them?
Yes. They are free downloads meant to be customized. Print at 100% scale so the printed measurements stay accurate.
How often should I update my size chart?
Review it whenever you change a supplier, pattern or fabric, and after a spike in size-related returns, which can signal that the chart no longer matches the product.
