How it's used
Retail staff often use the term 試衫房 as a more casual alternative to 試身室. While both are perfectly understood, 試身室 sounds slightly more formal and is the standard label you will see on signs in department stores.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 試身, which is the verb phrase meaning to try on clothes. You go into a 試身室 to perform the action of 試身.
