Their charts are very close to being accuarate. Shoes... on the average, 1 1/2 size larger than your male shoe (9.5 in mens = 11 womans) ...try to find a wide width. With dresses be sure to go by the bust size... not the waist size. If your waist is larger than your bust measurement... go on a diet and buy a corset! :p ;) Bras... try two sizes larger than the size of your rib cage (men's chest 42 = 44 bra). Cup size is your preference... usually a C cup is plenty! Skirts need to fit a bit snug... men don't have any hips to hold them up! Blouses are difficult because there are so many different cuts. Try one size larger than what the chart says you should wear. If too small, it is uncomfortable through the shoulders.

Have fun shopping! :thumbsup:

Very good insight Jen, I was all with you until the bra size thing,, I really have no clue and usually get my wife's castoffs (actually I got a few of her mother's things upon her passing. That woman had style) :)

Good bra sizing info here. (http://shapings.com/Merchant/merchant.mv?screen=cstm&category=brasizing_1) Also see Shaping's bra fitting clinic, which will show you how the cups should fit.
