Below is a size chart  for size medium, by Carla Buchanan. The size chart compares the various measurements for size medium, for brands like Anne Klein, Anthropologie, Alfani, Calvin Klein, Chicos, Charter Club, Elieen Fisher, and more. I was inspired by Nick Verreos' fit class to create this chart.
