Different brands use different size charts, and shoppers are left guessing — leading to frustration and unnecessary returns.</p> <p>At <a href="https://www.tellar.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tellar.co.uk</a>, we set out to fix this.</p> <p>Our platform matches a user’s actual measurements to the correct size in over 1,500+ brands — in real-time. It’s free, simple, and it just works.</p> <h2> The Problem </h2> <ul> <li>Brands don’t agree on sizing</li> <li>Return rates are high</li> <li>Consumers are confused</li> </ul> <h2> Our Solution </h2> <p>Tellar takes your 3 key measurements — chest, waist, and hips — and compares them to standardised size data across hundreds of fashion retailers.</p> <p>The result? You get your <strong>correct size, brand by brand</strong>, without guessing or checking outdated size charts.</p> <h2> The Fashion Hub </h2> <p>We also built the <a href="https://www.tellar.co.uk/fashion-hub" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fashion Hub</a> — a free digital library of 4,000+ honest, unbiased fashion posts covering:</p> <ul> <li>How brands fit (tight/true/loose)</li> <li>How to shop smarter by body type</li> <li>What sizes actually mean in different regions</li> </ul> <h2> Under the Hood </h2> <p>Tellar runs on a custom-built sizing engine, supported by a proprietary database of cross-referenced brand size charts, user measurement inputs, and logic that determines best fit based on largest measurement.</p> <p>We're planning to expand into:</p> <ul> <li>3D virtual avatars</li> <li>Jeans and footwear sizing</li> <li>Menswear-specific tools</li> </ul> <h2> Try It Free </h2> <p><a href="https://www.tellar.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer">→ Visit Tellar.co.uk</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.tellar.co.uk/fashion-hub" rel="noopener noreferrer">→ Explore the Fashion Hub</a></p> <p>We’d love your feedback.</p> <p>—<br><br> <em>Posted by Ella Blake, Brand director of Tellar</em></p> fashion clothessizing onlineshopping
