Variability and caveats
Cut
Structured pieces often cancel out some of the extra room, so they can feel closer than the brand’s usual direction.
Fabric stretch
Fabric stretch changes how strongly the sizing tendency shows up: more give softens it, less give makes it more obvious.
Styling
Styling details like intended silhouette, layering room, and line-specific fit can shift how the brand’s usual sizing direction feels.
