How it's used
Used primarily in retail to describe clothing that comes in only one size, intended to fit a wide range of body types. It functions as an adjective phrase to describe items that do not have specific sizing like small or large. While often used interchangeably with the English loanword free size, it remains a standard way to express universal sizing in local markets.
Examples
This shirt is one size, it fits everyone.

Common mistake
