Stores that list exact measurements?

Mochaccino

...Of the actual clothing, not people, that would just be a size chart Talbots stopped doing this (weird), and Forever 21 started doing it (even weirder). Do you know of any others?

Boden is very good about including actual garment measurements as well as size measurements: http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/.....GroupID=13

Unfortunately I no longer order from Boden as the UK to US shipping/customs times means that I have to wait a month or more before the order arrives, or before it can officially be declared lost in transit and refunded.

Thought about it, and realized I may have imagined that Talbots listed measurements, unless they just consistently listed a few measurements, like dress length. It's amazing how many stores don't bother to do even that.

I don't shop many places I'm not familiar with because of that and I only use measurements for ebay vintage items. I really should use them more, I do for my DC so not sure why I'm just not used to for me. The main thing I check is if their M is 8-10 or 10-12.
Kari - I had one bad experience with Boden last year on transit (during the strike) and I think they've moved most of their US sized stock to the US to avoid that.

F21 only does that with a "small" ... so if you're any other size, you're out of luck!

Boden is the best at this, I think. Modcloth lists some measurements for most of their garments, although it's not particularly complete (for dresses, they usually list just the length).

I know Michael mentioned in the comments on one of Angie's Karen Kane post that they were planning on doing this for the Karen Kane website in the future, but that it was taking a while to get measurements for each size of each item.

I really do wish more websites did this, especially if they don't offer free shipping/returns. I am MUCH more likely to order something if I know I will actually be able to zip it up!

Lands End will provide you exact measurements over Live Help or phone. I've had good experience with Max Studio providing measurements if you ask them (it takes a while though). I think Eddie Bauer does this too? I think folk have mentioned that Banana Republic provides measurements when asked.

J Crew also provides measurements when asked. I like to use the online chat feature for this--quicker than calling CS.
