Ways to get it wrong
Confusing 'quedar' with 'estar'
'Estar perfecto' is usually about a situation or state, not how clothes fit your body.
Using 'encajar'
'Encajar' is more for things fitting together mechanically, like puzzle pieces, not clothing.
A small cultural note
In many Latin American countries, 'quedar' is the go-to verb for how clothing fits a person's body.
