    Variability and caveats

    When Balenciaga can feel different from the usual sizing tendency

    Cut

    Relaxed cuts can soften a brand that usually runs small, so some pieces may feel closer to true to size.

    Fabric stretch

    Fabric stretch changes how strongly the sizing tendency shows up: more give softens it, less give makes it more obvious.

    Styling

    Different collections or sub-lines can use different fit blocks, so styling changes may matter as much as the label size.
