Measurements for Plus Size Clothing

As a seller of plus size clothing and occasional buyer of plus size clothing, I can say that probably one of the most frustrating things for me is to look at a listing and not see any measurements at all in the listing.

We as eBay sellers must realize that are buyers do not have the luxury of trying the article of clothing on. They only have the description, picture and title to decide whether or not they should purchase the particular item of clothing. Most people do not envy having to return clothes that do not fit and will avoid buying items that they do not think will fit them. 

At a minimum I have found that when listing clothing use these measurements as a minimum

Shirts/Blouses ..........chest/bust-hips-length

Pants.......................waist-inseam-hips-rise 

Shorts......................waist-hips-rise-length

Blazers....................chest/bust-hips-length

This is a minimum that should be included...some buyers, if interested may email you and ask for other specific measurements, but as a general rule the above measurements are a great starting point
