Size guide for JBS of Denmark women
Short answer: JBS of Denmark uses standard women's sizes from XS to XXL. Measure bust, waist and hips, and use the brand's own chart, since cuts can vary between lines.
Find the chart
The measurements are gathered in the JBS of Denmark women's size guide. Use it as your starting point rather than your usual dress size. A medium at one brand can match a small or large at another, so centimetres give the safest choice.
The three measurements that matter
Bust decides tops, waist decides trousers, and hips decide knickers and skirts. Measure with a soft tape directly on the body and keep it level without pulling. Measure in the morning if you can, and write the numbers down for next time.
How to measure
Measure the bust at the fullest point. Measure the waist at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel. Measure the hips at the widest point over the seat with your feet together. In front of a mirror it is easier to see whether the tape sits level all the way round.
Knickers
Choose knickers by hip measurement, not by trouser size. Knickers chosen from habit often end up tight at the leg openings or loose at the waist. See the models in bamboo knickers and the chart in knicker sizes.
Nightwear
Nightwear is usually cut with more room than daywear, so it does not pull when you lie down. Choose your normal size unless you prefer it very loose. If you are between two, the larger can work well here. See bamboo nightwear for women.
Bras without underwire
Wire free models are often sold in S to XL rather than cup sizes. Measure under the bust and over the bust, and compare with the chart on the product. The underband should sit firmly without digging in. See how to find your bra size at home.
After washing
Bamboo viscose keeps its shape at 40 degrees with air drying. Avoid the tumble dryer, which can tighten the fabric slightly over time and wear the elastic. Skip fabric softener too, as it makes the fabric less absorbent. See the washing guide.
Why measurements beat habit
Dress sizes change between brands and lines, while your own measurements in centimetres stay the same. Measure once and use the numbers with the chart every time you buy. It saves returns and makes new models easier to choose.
The fabric gives a little
Bamboo viscose has a soft drape and stretches slightly with wear. A new piece can feel a little closer than it does after a few hours. If it fits just right from the start, it is usually the right size for everyday wear.
Try one piece first
If you are unsure, buy one piece and wear it for a few days. Wash it a couple of times and check that it still sits as it should. Then you know which size to choose when buying more of the same model.
Frequently asked questions
What sizes does JBS of Denmark offer for women?
The brand uses standard women's sizes from XS to XXL. Use the brand's own chart and your measurements in centimetres rather than your usual dress size.
Which measurement do I use for knickers?
Your hip measurement. Measure at the widest point over the seat with your feet together, and compare with the chart instead of your trouser size.
Should I size up in nightwear?
Usually not, as nightwear is already cut with extra room. Choose your normal size and only go up if you like it to sit very loosely.
