Plus Size and Curvy Fit Guide for Womens Custom Apparel
Quick Answer- A shop that only stocks the core sizes turns away real customers; extended size ranges are shown per product on the product page in the shop.
- Fitted pieces (leggings, racerback tanks, biker shorts) benefit most from checking the size chart before a customer orders, since fit complaints concentrate there.
- Looser pieces (tees, hoodies, crewnecks) are more forgiving across a wider range of body types with less size-chart research needed.
- No minimum order means a shop can list the full available size range on day one instead of guessing which sizes will sell.
A shop that stocks only small through large is leaving a real, often underserved segment of customers unaddressed. Gyms, studios, and small businesses that build a womens apparel line get more consistent repeat orders once they treat sizing as seriously as they treat the logo. Here is how to think about plus size and curvy fit across the womens catalog.
Which Pieces Need the Most Size-Chart Attention
Fitted garments are where fit complaints concentrate: leggings, racerback tanks, biker shorts, and sports bras all rely on stretch and body-hugging cut, so a customer choosing a size without checking the chart is more likely to be unhappy with the result. Looser pieces, a crew tee, a hoodie, a crewneck sweatshirt, are far more forgiving across a wide range of body types, since the fit is not meant to be tight in the first place.
Where to Check the Actual Size Range
Every product in the catalog shows its specific size chart on the product page inside the shop, since size ranges vary by garment and by brand (Bella+Canvas, Next Level, Bear Grips, and Sport-Tek each cut a little differently). Rather than guess or assume a range, the fastest way to answer a customer question about fit is to check that specific product's chart before publishing it or responding to a size question.

Building a Size-Inclusive Starter Lineup
- Start with the more forgiving pieces: the Women's Favorite Tee ($19.88 VIP base) and the Perfect Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt ($34.88).
- Add one fitted piece, like Signature Seamless Leggings ($54.88), and check its size chart before publishing.
- Note the available range in the product description so customers do not have to click through to guess.
- Watch which sizes actually order and adjust which pieces get promoted based on real demand, not assumptions.
No Minimum Means No Guessing
Because nothing prints until a customer orders, a shop never has to pre-guess a size curve and buy inventory against it. Every size in the available range costs the same to produce and ship as any other, so there is no cost reason to quietly under-stock larger sizes the way a pre-printed inventory model often does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whats the largest size available on Bear Grips womens apparel?
It varies by specific product and brand. Each product page in the shop shows its own size chart, since Bella+Canvas, Next Level, Bear Grips, and Sport-Tek all cut differently.
Do fitted pieces like leggings run the same as loose pieces like tees?
No. Fitted pieces rely on stretch and a closer cut, so checking the specific size chart matters more there than on a loose tee or hoodie.
Does a larger size cost more to print?
No. The catalog base price is the same across the available size range for a given product.
Can I list a note about sizing on my product pages?
Yes. Adding a short sizing note to the product description, based on the actual size chart for that item, helps customers order the right size the first time.
