Women’s Navy Uniform Sizing Chart

Did you know that women’s uniforms come in 3 different body types: Junior (J); Misses (M) and Women’s (W)?  The junior is 2” smaller in the hip than the misses and 4” smaller than the women’s.  They also come in 3 lengths to accommodate your height: petite (5’ Ύ” and under); regular (5’3/4” – 5’ 7”) and tall (5’ 7” and above).

TO DETERMINE YOUR BUST SIZE:

  1. Have a sales associate take your measurements as described below.
  2. Use the chart to predict your size.  For example, a 12MR has the following measurements:

Bust 37 1/2”, Waist 29 ½ “, Height 5’5”.

  1. Determine the correct fit.  For a skirt or slacks, fit the waist.  In the example above, if the 12MR hip is too big, try a 12JR.  If the hip is too small, try a 12WR.  If the waist is too tight, try the next size.  For a jumper or dress coat, fit the bust.  Adjust the type to fit the hip.
