If I am shopping for clothing via catalogs or Internet, how can I determine the best size to order?

There are two ways to order the right size for a satisfactory fit: 1) Measure yourself carefully and compare your measurements to those in the catalog or in the ordering directions, then order accordingly. 2) Order a basic garment, try it on and return it if it fails to fit. This option includes the added postage costs if you must exchange the item for a different size.
