when you wear the right size
Here at left we show 6 figure types. One of
them is yours. Do you really know which
one? Do you really know your size? You can
be sure if you check with the corresponding
charts below. Please use your tape measure
to be sure. Once you have verified the size
you should wear, order that same size in all
Sears apparel, regardless of price. Sears
fashions fit the majority of women beauti–
fully because they are based on a study of
scientific body measurements. Just make sure

ticular style you are considering. As always,
