The measurements from ThredUp are very sketchy, to say the least. Usually wrong.

I just received my order and I went by what ThredUP had. I made sure to find things that would fit my bust (I'm a medium or 8). No items I ordered fit- all way too big because I went by things that read 35" or 36".

There used items are usually shrunk. Buy up a size.

Haha, oh wow. XXL was labeled 30'' bust? No, thredup isn't for model thin women. They just mislable everything. I'm pretty sure they just make up numbers when they don't know its actual size. I bought a shirt listed on their website as a women's medium, but it was actually a youth medium. I would have given it to a little girl down the street, but it smelled like dirty socks, even after washing.
