The Activewear Fit Kit

A size-and-fit planner for leggings, tops and sports bras: measured once, placed on each brand's own chart, tried on inside the return window, and bought in the number your wash days need

Every sizing tool on MissySport ends the same way: this is a general chart, brands run an inch or two off it, check the brand's own chart. None of them takes a brand's chart. And printed brand charts leave gaps between their ranges, so a body can land between two sizes with no line to round to. The Activewear Fit Kit shows what to do with that chart. Measure three times and keep the middle reading, see how near a size line you are, and read any brand's printed chart in inches or centimeters the same way. In the worked example a 39.25 in hip is an M on our chart, a quarter inch under the L line; a clear M on one example brand chart; and in the gap between M (to 99 cm) and L (from 100 cm) on another. Tops are sized by bust, sports bras by band first with both sister sizes (34C, 32D, 36B), and a worked week shows washing twice instead of once takes the capsule from 5 sets to 3: $480.00 against $800.00. Every figure is computed from the site's own calculators and tagged as an example; the brand charts in it are invented and belong to no brand, and it names no brand or retailer. It gives no exercise, diet or health advice. Inside: 7 steps, a measurement card, a brand chart sheet, a try-on log, a capsule and care sheet, the size chart in inches and centimeters, and a quickstart. Buy from a calculator and you also get a personalised sheet worked on your own measurements, with the half-inch bands to read each brand's chart.

The pack picks up where the free Legging Size Calculator leaves off. The calculator sizes you on a general chart and tells you to check the brand's own; the pack shows you how: three readings with the middle kept, how near a size line you are, how to read a brand's printed chart in inches or centimeters and the gaps between its ranges, tops by bust with the Clothing Size Converter, a sports bra with its sister sizes from the Sports Bra Size Calculator, the last day to try on inside the return window, care from the Activewear Fabric Care guide, and how many sets your wash days call for. Every figure is an example, the brand charts in it are invented, and it names no brand or retailer.
