Not sure what size show shirt i need?

Question

I need to buy a show shirt but im not sure what size i need. My regular shirt size is medium in juniors. But the sizes go differently in riding clothes. So i was just wondering if you can help me with that. Thanks:)

Answer 1

I wear about the same size and am wanting to say I'm a 34 in show shirts. Not positive though. Try going to a tack store and trying some on. Be sure to try different brands because there are some differences in sizes between companies.  

Answer 2

as mentioned, it is sized by your bust.  Usually your bra size is a good starting point.  If you have broad shoulders take that into consideration too.  A medium in juniors (depending on how tight you wear your shirts) would be about a 30 in a ratcatcher.  But most important, try them on if you have never tried them on before.  Ariat brands tend to have longer sleeves then other brands and tailored sportsman shirts tends to be on the smaller side.  The essex and beacon hill shirts tend to be right on with sizes but their sleeves can be on the short side if you have long arms.  Make sure the collar will button and not choke you.  You want the sleeves to go down to the knuckle on your thumb so when you bend your elbow some of the cuff will show still. Have fun shopping.

Answer 3

Show shirts are sized by your bust size (basically your bra size).  Measure right around the middle of your b*****s and try that size first.  It should be closest.
