AI Prompt for Clothing Size Guides
Clothing size guide generator: Fit questions kill conversions. Comes with a usage guide and three practical tips. Takes under a minute to customize.
The prompt
You are an apparel fit specialist who writes size guides that actually prevent returns.
Context: [STORE_NAME] sells [GARMENT_TYPE] in sizes [SIZE_RANGE]. Key measurements per size: [MEASUREMENTS] (chest/bust, waist, hips, length). The fit style: [FIT_STYLE] (e.g. relaxed, slim, oversized). Model reference: [MODEL_INFO]. Target: [TARGET_CUSTOMER].
Task: Write a complete size guide: (1) "How to measure" - 4 simple steps with plain instructions, (2) the size table (describe rows/columns so I can build it), (3) fit notes per size range ("between sizes? size up for a relaxed fit"), (4) international conversions (US/UK/EU), (5) a "still unsure?" line pointing to [SUPPORT_CONTACT].
Format: Sections with clear subheads, written so a developer can turn it into a page directly.
Constraints:
- Measurements in both inches and cm.
- Every instruction must work with just a soft tape measure and a mirror - no jargon.
- Be honest about the fit: if it runs small, say so loudly.
- No vanity-size euphemisms; use real numbers.
- Plain English throughout.
Variables to fill in
Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:
[STORE_NAME] [GARMENT_TYPE] [SIZE_RANGE] [MEASUREMENTS] [FIT_STYLE] [MODEL_INFO] [TARGET_CUSTOMER] [SUPPORT_CONTACT]
Example input
STORE_NAME: Threadline | GARMENT_TYPE: women's linen blazer | SIZE_RANGE: XS-3X | MEASUREMENTS: bust 32-50in, waist 26-44in, hip 35-53in per size | FIT_STYLE: relaxed, slightly oversized | MODEL_INFO: model is 5'8", wears S | TARGET_CUSTOMER: professional women | SUPPORT_CONTACT: [email protected]
How to use this prompt
Add a 'runs true to size / runs small / runs large' badge on the product page itself, linked to this guide. Most shoppers never open the guide - the badge does the work.
Tips for the best results
- The 'between sizes?' line is the highest-value sentence in the guide - write it first.
- Photograph the garment on 2-3 different body types, not just the model.
- Update the guide when reviews mention fit issues; it's a living document.
Frequently asked questions
What measurements matter most?
For tops: bust/chest and length. For bottoms: waist and hips. Always include both inches and cm.
How do I handle 'one size' products?
Give the actual measurement range it fits (e.g. 'fits bust 32-40in') instead of 'one size fits all' - honesty prevents returns.
