Size 14W is part of the women’s plus size range, typically larger and roomier than a straight size 14, while size 16 is a straight size and might be a bit smaller than 14W.

What is size 12?

Size 12 is generally considered a ‘Large’ in standard sizing.

What about size 16?

This aligns with a 1X in the plus-size chart, which ranges between sizes 14 to 16.
