Womens Apparel Size Charts
Bebe offers detailed women’s apparel size charts, including standard and plus sizes, to help you find your perfect fit with bust, waist, and hip measurements.
Bebe Standard Women’s Size Chart
Bebe’s standard women’s size chart is designed to provide a reliable guide for achieving the perfect fit. This chart correlates specific body measurements with Bebe clothing sizes, ensuring a comfortable and flattering silhouette. Understanding your measurements is key to a successful shopping experience.

Bust, Waist, and Hip Measurements
To determine your Bebe size, accurately measure your bust, waist, and hips. For bust measurements, measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure level. Waist measurement should be taken at the narrowest part of your natural waistline. Hip measurements are best taken around the fullest part of your hips, again ensuring the tape measure is level.
Here’s a general guideline based on available information:
- Size S: Bust 36-37 inches, Waist 28-29 inches, Hip 38-39 inches
- Size M: Bust 38-39 inches, Waist 30-31 inches, Hip 40-41 inches
Remember, these are approximate measurements, and slight variations may occur. Always refer to the specific product’s size chart for the most accurate information.
Accurate bust, waist, and hip measurements are fundamental to finding your ideal Bebe size. Begin with the bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, ensuring the tape measure remains level across your back. For the waist, measure at the narrowest point of your natural waistline – typically an inch or two above your belly button.
Hip measurement requires measuring around the fullest part of your hips and rear, again keeping the tape measure horizontal. It’s crucial to stand naturally and breathe normally during measurement.
Bebe sizes generally correspond as follows:
- Small (S): Bust 36-37”, Waist 28-29”, Hip 38-39”
- Medium (M): Bust 38-39”, Waist 30-31”, Hip 40-41”
These are guidelines; always consult the individual garment’s size chart for precise details, as fits can vary between styles.
Bebe Plus Size Women’s Size Chart
Bebe offers a stylish and inclusive range of plus-size apparel, designed to flatter and fit beautifully. Understanding the specific measurements for plus sizes is key to a confident purchase. The plus-size range typically begins around size 14 and extends upwards, offering options for diverse body shapes.
While specific measurements vary by garment, here’s a general guideline:
- Size 14-16: Bust 42-44”, Waist 34-36”, Hip 44-46”
- Size 18-20: Bust 46-48”, Waist 38-40”, Hip 48-50”
Remember to always refer to the individual product’s size chart, as Bebe’s designs may have unique fits. Prioritize accurate measurements and consider the fabric’s stretch for optimal comfort and style.
Finding your perfect fit is our priority!
Specific Measurements for Plus Sizes
Bebe’s plus-size collection prioritizes accurate fit, offering detailed measurements to guide your selection. Beyond bust, waist, and hip, consider these specifics. For sizes 1X-3X, waist measurements typically range from 32” to 48”, while hip measurements extend from 40” to 56”.
Pay close attention to garment length, especially in dresses and skirts, as proportions differ. Sleeve length is also crucial for a comfortable fit. Bebe often provides detailed size charts on each product page, including measurements for length, sleeve, and shoulder width.
Don’t hesitate to consult the general plus-size chart alongside the specific garment details. Accurate self-measurement is key, and remember to factor in any desired layering or fit preference!
Converting Bebe Sizes to Other Brands
Bebe sizing can differ slightly from other brands, necessitating careful conversion. Generally, a US size Small at Bebe corresponds to a UK size 8-10 and a European size 36-38. Medium (US) often aligns with UK 12-14 and EU 40-42. Large (US) typically translates to UK 16-18 and EU 44-46.
However, these are approximations; always check the specific brand’s size chart. Consider fit preferences – if you typically size up in one brand, do so with Bebe as well. Online conversion tools can offer a starting point, but prioritize detailed measurements.
Remember that vanity sizing varies widely. Comparing your measurements to both brands’ charts is the most reliable method for a perfect fit!
International Size Conversions (US to UK, EU, etc.)
Bebe utilizes standard US sizing, but international shoppers require conversions. A US size Small (2-4) generally equates to a UK 8-10 and a European size 36. Medium (6-8) corresponds to UK 12-14 and EU 40. Large (10-12) aligns with UK 16-18 and EU 44.
For dresses and skirts, length may vary, so check specific garment measurements. When converting to Australian sizes, add 2 to the UK size. Asian sizing often runs smaller; consider sizing up one or two sizes.
Always consult a detailed size chart for the destination country, as variations exist. Prioritize bust, waist, and hip measurements for accuracy.

Kids & Junior Apparel Size Charts
Bebe offers distinct sizing for babies, toddlers, kids, and juniors, utilizing height and weight considerations for accurate fits across all developmental stages!
Bebe Baby & Toddler Size Guide (18-24 Months ― 2-3T)
Bebe’s baby and toddler sizing, ranging from 18-24 months to 2-3T, prioritizes comfort and growth. Size selection should consider both height and weight for the best fit. A child measuring 75-85cm and weighing around 22lbs typically fits into an XS (18-24M).
As children grow, a height of 85-95cm and a weight of approximately 29lbs corresponds to a size Small (2-3T). For those reaching 95-100cm and 37lbs, a Medium (3-4T) is recommended. Larger toddlers, measuring 100-110cm and weighing 44lbs, will likely need a Large (4-5Y). Finally, for children between 110-120cm and 49lbs, an Extra Large (5-6Y) is suggested.
Remember these are guidelines; individual variations exist. Always consult the specific garment’s measurements for the most accurate sizing!
Height and Weight Considerations
Bebe’s baby and toddler sizing heavily relies on a combination of height and weight for accurate fit determination. Height is a primary factor, but weight provides crucial context, especially during growth spurts. For example, a child within the 75-85cm height range, weighing approximately 22lbs, generally fits a size 18-24 months (XS).
However, a taller child at the upper end of that height range, but closer to 29lbs, might benefit from a 2-3T (Small). Similarly, a child weighing 49lbs, measuring 110-120cm, would likely require a 5-6Y (XL).
These are guidelines; individual builds vary. Prioritize comfort and allow room for growth when selecting sizes. Always cross-reference with the garment’s specific measurements!
Bebe Kids Size Guide (3-4T ⎻ 5-6Y)
Bebe’s kids’ sizing, spanning 3-4T to 5-6Y, presents a transition point where age-based sizing begins to overlap with measurement-based recommendations. While a 4-year-old might generally fit a 4T, individual growth rates necessitate checking height and weight. A child measuring 95-100cm and weighing 37lbs typically suits a 3-4T (Medium).
Conversely, a taller or heavier child, around 100-110cm and 44lbs, may require a 4-5Y (Large). For the 5-6Y range, height of 110-120cm and weight of 49lbs are typical.
It’s crucial to prioritize measurements over age alone, ensuring a comfortable and appropriately fitted garment. Consider the child’s build and allow room for growth.
Age-Based Sizing vs. Measurement-Based Sizing
Bebe utilizes both age-based and measurement-based sizing for its kids’ apparel, but prioritizing measurements is key for an optimal fit. Age-based sizing offers a convenient starting point, particularly for younger children where growth is relatively consistent. However, individual variations in height and weight are significant.
Measurement-based sizing—specifically height and weight—provides a more accurate assessment. A child’s actual dimensions should always supersede the suggested age range. This is especially important as children transition between sizes, where growth spurts can occur.
Combining both approaches yields the best results, ensuring comfort and allowing room for growth.
Bebe Junior Size Guide
Bebe’s Junior size range bridges the gap between children’s wear and young adult styles, catering to developing bodies and evolving fashion preferences. This transition often requires careful consideration, as sizing can differ significantly from standard kids’ sizes.
Junior sizing typically corresponds to ages 8-16, but individual growth rates vary. Bebe recommends prioritizing measurements—height, weight, and chest/waist circumference—over age alone. This ensures a comfortable and flattering fit.
Pay attention to garment construction and style; some junior pieces mirror adult cuts, while others retain a more youthful silhouette. Accurate measurements are crucial for a successful shopping experience.
Transitioning from Kids to Junior Sizes
Bebe understands the shift from kids’ to junior sizing can be tricky! Typically, girls around age 8 or with a height of 50-54 inches begin to outgrow children’s sizes. This transition often involves an increase in both height and the development of more mature body proportions.
Observe changes in clothing fit – tightness across the chest or shoulders, or garments becoming too short in length. Don’t hesitate to size up! Junior sizes generally offer a longer torso and broader shoulder width compared to kids’ wear.
Consult Bebe’s size chart diligently, focusing on measurements rather than age. A well-fitting garment boosts confidence and ensures comfort during this exciting growth phase.

Specific Garment Sizing Considerations
Bebe offers diverse styles; consider length variations in dresses and skirts, inseam and rise in pants, and sleeve/shoulder measurements for tops for a perfect fit!
Bebe Dress & Skirt Sizing
Bebe dresses and skirts showcase a variety of lengths and silhouettes, requiring careful consideration when selecting your size. Bebe’s size guide emphasizes understanding these variations to achieve the most flattering fit.
Different styles, such as bodycon, A-line, or maxi dresses, will naturally fit differently even within the same numerical size. Pay close attention to the product description for specific length measurements, especially for skirts – mini, midi, or maxi – as these significantly impact the overall look and feel.
Consider the fabric; stretchier materials may offer more flexibility, while structured fabrics require a more precise fit. Always refer to the Bebe size chart and compare your measurements to ensure a comfortable and stylish experience. Don’t hesitate to size up if you’re between sizes, particularly with fitted styles.
Length and Silhouette Variations

Bebe dresses and skirts come in diverse lengths – mini, midi, and maxi – each influencing the overall aesthetic and requiring a slightly different fit consideration. Silhouettes also vary greatly, from bodycon and A-line to flowing, relaxed styles.
A bodycon dress demands a closer, more accurate fit, while an A-line skirt offers more forgiving room. Maxi dresses prioritize length, so ensure it doesn’t drag or feel too short. Understanding these variations is crucial for selecting the correct size.

Always check the product details for specific length measurements. Consider your body shape and personal preference when choosing a silhouette; a flared skirt might balance broader hips, while a fitted dress accentuates curves.
Bebe Jeans & Pant Sizing
Bebe jeans and pants sizing hinges on two key measurements: inseam and rise. Inseam, measured from the crotch to the hem, determines the pant length, crucial for achieving a flattering silhouette. Rise indicates the distance from the crotch to the top of the waistband, impacting where the pants sit on your waist.
Bebe offers various rises – low, mid, and high – catering to different preferences. Always refer to the size chart for specific inseam lengths corresponding to your size. Consider your height and desired style when selecting inseam.
Pay attention to fabric composition, as stretch denim may fit differently than rigid denim. Measure your waist and inseam accurately for the best fit.
Inseam and Rise Measurements
Inseam, the distance from the crotch seam to the hem, dictates pant length and is crucial for a flattering fit. Accurate measurement ensures the perfect break or stack. Rise, measured from the crotch to the top of the waistband, determines where the pants sit on your waist – low, mid, or high-waisted.
To measure inseam, use a flexible tape measure while wearing shoes similar to those you’ll pair with the pants. For rise, measure from the crotch seam up the front of the pants to the waistband.
Bebe offers varying inseam lengths and rise options; consult the size chart for specific details. Consider your body shape and desired style when choosing these measurements.
Bebe Top & Blouse Sizing
Bebe tops and blouses cater to diverse styles, so understanding sizing is key. Key measurements include sleeve length – from shoulder seam to cuff – and shoulder width, measured from shoulder point to shoulder point. These impact fit and comfort.
Consider the garment’s silhouette; fitted styles require precise measurements, while relaxed fits offer more leeway. Pay attention to fabric composition; stretch fabrics provide more flexibility. Bebe’s size charts detail these measurements for each size, ensuring a flattering fit.
Always check the product description for specific details regarding fit and fabric. A well-fitting top enhances your overall look!
Sleeve Length and Shoulder Width
Accurate sleeve length and shoulder width measurements are crucial for a perfect Bebe top fit. Sleeve length is measured from the shoulder seam down to the cuff, impacting overall proportion and comfort. Shoulder width, spanning from shoulder point to shoulder point, determines how the top sits across your upper back.
These measurements vary significantly between sizes and styles. A too-short sleeve can feel restrictive, while a too-long sleeve appears sloppy. Incorrect shoulder width can cause pulling or gaping. Consult Bebe’s size chart for specific dimensions.
When measuring, wear a similar bra to what you’d wear with the garment. Precise measurements ensure a flattering and comfortable fit!

Tips for Accurate Measurement
Bebe recommends measuring bust, waist, hips, inseam, and rise for the best fit; understanding fabric stretch is also key to selecting your perfect size!
How to Measure Bust, Waist, and Hips
Measuring your bust requires a soft measuring tape. Position the tape around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring it’s level across your back. Breathe naturally and record the measurement.
For waist measurement, find your natural waistline – typically the narrowest part of your torso. Stand relaxed and measure around this point, keeping the tape comfortably loose. Don’t pull it too tight!
To measure your hips, stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. Again, ensure the tape is level and not overly tight. Accurate measurements are crucial for finding your perfect Bebe fit. Refer to the size charts provided to correlate your measurements with the appropriate Bebe size.
Remember to measure while wearing minimal clothing for the most accurate results.
Measuring for Inseam and Rise
Inseam measurement is vital for Bebe jeans and pants. Stand straight and measure from the crotch seam down to where you want the hem to fall, typically at the top of your shoe. A partner can assist for accuracy.
Rise measurement indicates the distance from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband. This impacts where the pants sit on your waist. Measure along the front of the pants, from the crotch to the waistband.
Understanding both inseam and rise ensures a comfortable and flattering fit. Consult Bebe’s size charts, paying attention to these specific measurements when selecting jeans or pants. Accurate measurements prevent returns and guarantee satisfaction.
For best results, measure while wearing shoes similar to those you’ll pair with your Bebe bottoms.
Understanding Bebe’s Fabric Stretch
Bebe frequently utilizes fabrics with varying degrees of stretch, impacting fit. Consider the fabric composition when selecting your size. Garments with higher elastane or spandex content will offer more give and flexibility.
If a garment contains stretch, you might consider sizing down, especially if you prefer a more fitted silhouette. However, avoid sizing down excessively, as this can compromise comfort and potentially alter the garment’s intended shape.
Review the product description for details on fabric composition and stretch. Bebe’s size charts often don’t account for stretch, so factor this in during your selection.
Prioritize comfort and movement when choosing your size, especially with stretch fabrics.
