Women's and Junior's Apparel

For Women's (sometimes called Missy) and Juniors (Girls) Apparel, we will collect data on the same set of categories and use the same metrics for both departments.

The signs for Women's Apparel may be labeled as "Ladies Sportswear" and you'll likely see "Missy/Petite" - all of these departments should be treated as Women's Apparel.

The only section of Women's Apparel we are not collecting data in will be Plus Sized. 

Juniors will also have designed signage to help you find the department. You should collect data in Juniors and Juniors Plus in the same department.

You will collect and report data separately for Women's and Juniors. There is no brand breakdown for this project, just categories.
