Hey folks! Even though we have a female model in some of our pictures, the sweaters are unisex! Tacky sweaters knows no gender bounds! The truth is that most of these ugly sweaters were originally designed to be serious sweaters for women. That being said we have measured the bust and the length of all of our sweaters and sized them according to the men’s sizes listed in the table below. Typical women’s sizing is also given to help you with your selection.
| Bust Size (Inches) | Women’s | Men’s |
| Less Than 36″ | Extra Small | Extra Small |
| 36″-40″ | Small | Small |
| 41″-42″ | Medium | Small |
| 43″-47″ | Large | Medium |
| 48″-50″ | Extra Large | Large |
| 51″-52″ | 2X | Large |
| 53″ and above | 3X | XL & XXL |
If ordering a vest it will be able to fit comfortable one size larger than the stated size. Because the sweaters are second hand, all unique and are made from a variety of manufacturers, the actual tag on the sweater may not match our generalized sizing of the sweater.
When ordering err on the side of ordering larger and you can try and shrink them in the dryer or just wear them slightly baggy. Remember, it’s okay if they don’t fit perfectly to a tee because they are ugly and tacky!
Wanting yo order one for my daughter but she doesn’t want it too big. She is a size 10-12 andliked the grey heavyknit snowmen sweater. What size do you think she should order?
Hi Tammy,
Our sizes are adult sizes so for a 10-12 (which seems to be a girls medium), your best bet is to go with something in our small category, you may err on the side of caution with something on the “smaller” small side such as this:

The White Christmas Tree sweater also fits pretty tight: http://www.uglychristmassweater.ca/shop/white-christmas-tree-sweater/
I can’t seem to find the grey heavyknit snowman sweater you are talking about. If you can provide a link I can tell you if it will fit or not.
Thanks!
