| I think it runs about true. Some things are cut tighter thou. But you can't size up only 1/2 size. I'm a 4 and it's almost always ok but pants sometimes need to be a 6 depending on the cut. |

| I have no idea about JCrew b/c I don't shop there, but I find that WHBM runs pretty true to size. I'm usually an 8 most other places/brands, and an 8 at WHBM too. |

| I find it runs big. If you're a J. Crew 6, you might be a WHBM 4, honestly. |

| I feel like they are big on vanity sizing. I have size 00 and 0 there, size 2s would be huge on me. I'm small but not THAT small. Wear size 0 or 2 at Ann Taylor/Loft etc. |

| I find their sizes to be inconsistent. I bought one shirt in a size "small" and I was swimming in it. I tried on another in size "medium" and it was rather tight. |

+1 I'm usually a size 8 in their clothes. Picked up a skirt and since it looked like a narrow cut, I grabbed a 10. Couldn't even zip it up. |

I agree with 21:38, inconsistent.
I am typically a solid small. WHBM I have XS tops that are almost roomy (ie they aren't on the tight side at all). But have had to size up in blazers. Haven't tried their pants yet, mostly because I'm not looking forward to that "let's try on 7 styles of black pants and determine what works" marathon. |

| Love them for basics - but I do find them inconsistent. I have a pair of great basic black jeans that are a size 2, and I tried on regular jeans in a 2, 4, then a 6, and they still just didn't fit right. Too tight in the wrong places. |

Agree with this. I love whbm, and most of my wardrobe is from there, but I have to be careful because my size in my favorite pants are inconsistent. The same exact pant will fit perfectly, but the same pant and size in different color might be a little snug so I always have to try on. I do love their clothes though. |

| Agree, I bought a size 0 dress, but I'm usually a 4-6. Their size 2 seems to fit like a 4-6. Makes it scary for shopping on line from Canada though. But I love their stuff so much! |

| I think WHBM clothing runs large. I'm a Loft 6, which is like an 8 and at WHBM I'm a 4. I think their (I just wrote they're- passed my bed time I guess) stuff is really well made. I wish I could find styles I liked this season. |

| I agree with everyone who said it is inconsistent. Try everything on. |

| Big and a bit inconsistent. I'm pretty consistently a 4, occasionally a 6, and a WHBM I start with the 2's/size XS and they usually fit well. |
