What are Chico’s sizes, and why is a Chico’s size chart important?
Most fashion retailers sell plus-size clothes 0X through 4X (or larger) or on a standard number system, Chico’s size chart runs from 000-4. From conventional US sizes 2 to 16, you will easily find your chico’s size in the below charts.
Chico’s is among the popular brands for American women’s clothes and accessories. Formed in 1983, this fast-fashion clothing brand is known for its plus-size outfits for women who had a hard time finding fitting clothes. In addition to Chico’s plus-size tops and dresses, you can find a whole range of sizes.
Like many other clothing stores, you don’t need to visit a physical Chico’s store. You can easily order a comfortable pair of pants, a dress, or a belt without hassle. It’s essential to know the right size of clothes you need before you order to avoid issues like wrong fit. Something unique about Chico is that it uses a special numbering system to size clothes. So, if you shop for conventional sizes, you’ll probably end up with a larger or smaller version of what you need.
Chico uses a unique numerical system to size their outfits and accessories. Let’s look at the different size charts available for Chico outfits.

Chico’s Swimwear Size Chart
For the Magicsuit category, here are the sizes in inches
Before choosing an outfit from Chico, you’ll first need to be familiar with how they size their outfits. We’ll outline how to take the measurements in this specific post you need to use to determine your size on Chico’s sizing chart. You’ll need a tape measure for this process, and it’s essential that you keep the tape relaxed. Plus, you might need an extra set of hands because measuring yourself might not deliver accurate results.
Bust – Take your tape measure and measure around the fullest part of the chest. Let the tape go under the arms and all the way to the back while parallel to the floor.
Arm – With your arm straight and relaxed, place the measuring tape on the shoulder and measure all the way to the wrist.
Waist – Keep the tape parallel to the floor and measure around your waistline. The natural waistline is along your belly button.
Hip – Stand with your feet close together and take the tape around the fullest point of the hips.
