Store Locator
Q: How can I find a store near me?
A: Find a Lane Bryant store near you, along with a map and driving directions.

Garment Lengths
Q: How do I determine the length or inseam of a garment?
A: To help you determine if a garment will fit your body, we provide the length or inseam on each product page.

To determine the length of tops, we measure from the center of the back neckline or seam (if there's a collar) down the back to the hem.

To determine the length of skirts, we measure from the waist to the hem.

To determine the inseam of bottoms, we measure from the center of the crotch down the inside seam to the hem.

Sizing Charts
Q: What sizes does Lane Bryant offer?
A: Lane Bryant sizes range from 12 to 32. Our standard Lane Bryant sizes fit a woman of an average height of 5'6". Lane Bryant petite sizes are for women 5'4" or under, and Lane Bryant tall sizes are for women 5'8" or taller.

Q: Do you have a sizing chart I can refer to online?
A:

  View Cacique intimates sizing charts and fit information.

Q: How do I measure myself?
A: Here are some tips for measuring:


If possible, have a friend measure you.

Measure yourself twice for accuracy.

Remove your shoes for accuracy.

Be sure to measure over the undergarments that you are most likely to wear with the item you are ordering.

Be sure the measuring tape is straight, but not tight. You should be able to breathe.

Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Your bust measurement will determine what size your top is.

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline.

Measure around the fullest part of your hips. Your hip measurement will determine your skirt, pants and shorts size.

For the inseam, measure inside the length of your leg from your crotch to the floor.

If your measurements fall between sizes, it is best to order one size up.










How to Measure
Bust:
Measure under arms around fullest part.
Waist: Measure around narrowest part of natural waistline.
Hips: Measure around fullest part of lower hip.
Inseam: Measure inside length of leg from crotch to floor.

Note: Inseams are provided in the product description for every item that has an inseam.

Once you've measured yourself, compare your measurements to the sizing chart to determine the best size for you.

What is Right Fit?
Right Fit is a revolutionary new fit system that significantly improves the way jeans and pants fit your body. No more unbuttoned waists or gaping in the back. Instead, three ultimate fits that love your hips, waist, everywhere at once.

Right Fit is based on your body shape and Right Fit size, not your traditional waist size. Click here to find out more about Right Fit or visit a store where an Associate will be glad to assist you.

Q: Why does Right Fit use a different approach to sizing?
A: Traditional sizing only considers your waist size. Right Fit goes further and also considers the shape of your body. As a result, a new sizing method was needed to ensure the best possible proper fit on your waist, hips and thighs.

Q: How can I find my new sizing for Right Fit?
A: To find your Right Fit online, use our Right Fit converter. In stores, an Associate will be glad to assist you.

Q: I like the way Lane Bryant's Venezia jeans fit me. Will Right Fit change the way they fit my body?
A: No, just choose Right Fit Red. The fit will be like the one you've always enjoyed.

Q: Will all Venezia jeans be converted to Right Fit sizing?
A: No, the only jean styles that will be designed for Right Fit are Stretch Classic, Stretch Flare and Stretch Bootcut.
