Variability and caveats
Cut
Structured pieces usually feel smaller first, especially through the shoulders, waist, or hip.
Fabric stretch
Fabric stretch changes how strongly the sizing tendency shows up: more give softens it, less give makes it more obvious.
Styling
This brand is fairly consistent, but styling can still shift the feel when a piece is meant to be sharply fitted or deliberately oversized.
