Madewell sizing — common questions

Is Madewell true to size?

Madewell fit varies by piece rather than following one rule — the per-piece notes below are the honest read. The only honest answer for your body is a size built from your measurements against Madewell's real chart — that's what CHECK does, free.

Does Madewell run small or large?

It depends on the piece — Madewell doesn't follow a single rule. Check the specific garment's fit notes, or build your size on your own measurements to be sure.

What size am I in Madewell?

There's no universal answer — it depends on your height, weight and how you like things to fit. CHECK reads Madewell's real size chart and builds a recommended size from your measurements in a few seconds, then shows the piece on your own photo. No account needed for the first few each month.

Do Madewell trousers and skirts fit true to size?

Madewell trousers and skirts are covered in the fit notes above, piece by piece. Where we have the brand's chart, CHECK pins an actual letter to your build; where we don't yet, you'll get a directional read and we'll say so plainly.

How can I see how Madewell looks on me before buying?

Open any Madewell piece on CHECK, drop in one photo of yourself, and we'll show it on your body — an honest visualization, not a model. You also get a size built from your measurements. Try it at checklook.me/sizing/madewell.
