Onesize (OS)

Onesize, also known as one size, OS or one size fits all is a unique clothing size for men’s or women’s clothing and means that this piece of clothing is only manufactured in one unique size. The name onesize implies that this particular size will fit everybody, which is of course nonsense. Rather, it is a size that will fit any average sized person, women with a clothing size S or M, and men with clothes size M or L.

 Most of these items can be stretched a little bit, some can be stretched a lot, it depends, so it could be possible that a onesize item will fit larger or smaller sized persons too. Some of these items, like our Countesse gothic skirts, have an elastic seam, and will even with clothing sizes XL+.
