Why sizing US products is tricky for Indian buyers
US clothing and shoe sizes often run a full size larger than Indian or UK sizes. A women's "Medium" in India is roughly a US "Small". Men's US shoe sizes are typically one number above UK/Indian. Without a quick chart in front of you, it is easy to order something a size off — and a long, costly process to swap if you got it wrong elsewhere. CrowCrowCrow gives you the conversion charts upfront, smart tools soon, and a refund safety net if the size still doesn't fit.

Sizing tips for ordering US products
- →US sizing runs larger. A women's "Medium" in the US is roughly an Indian "Small". Men's US shoes are typically one size above UK/Indian.
- →Always check the brand's own size chart on the product page if available. Brands like Levi's, Old Navy, Nike, and Adidas have their own quirks.
- →Measure yourself in inches rather than guessing — bust, waist, hip for clothing; foot length for shoes. Match measurements to the brand chart, not just the size letter.
- →Read the recent reviews for sizing tips — buyers often note "runs small" or "size up" in the first few lines.
- →If still unsure, WhatsApp us at +91 9403891289 with the product link. We'll check the brand's fit notes and recommend a size before you order.
Sizing by body type — pear, hourglass, athletic, plus
US sizes assume a specific average body proportion that doesn't always match Indian body types. Here's how to adjust:
Pear shape (hips wider than shoulders)
Most common Indian women's body type. Order to fit the hip — go up one US size from your shoulder/bust measurement. For jeans and dresses, brands like Levi's "Curvy Fit" and Old Navy "Curvy" cuts work better than standard fits.
Hourglass (defined waist, balanced shoulders/hips)
Standard US sizing usually fits well. Look for "fitted" or "true to size" reviews. Bodycon and wrap styles work well — they hug the waist without restricting bust or hip.
Athletic / rectangular (shoulders ≈ hips, less waist definition)
US athleisure brands (Nike, Lululemon, Under Armour) fit this body type well in standard sizes. For dresses, look for "belted" or "shift" cuts that create waist definition.
Plus / curvy (US 14W and above)
Order from a brand's plus collection, not the standard collection sized up. Plus sizes (1X, 2X, 3X) have adjusted proportions — wider hips, more bust room, longer torsos — that just sizing up in the standard line won't replicate. Top US plus-friendly brands: Eloquii, Torrid, Universal Standard, Athleta Plus.
Still unsure? Message our sizing team with the brand, item, and your measurements — we'll check fit reviews before your order ships. And remember: 14-day refund if the size doesn't work.
