Size Chart for Adult

Our size chart reflects the dimensions of the garment, not those of the customer. The garment measurements represent the maximum dimensions, which could have slight variations due to the handcrafted nature of our clothing and discrepancies in the measuring process. Keep in mind that our garments are not stretchable. It is highly advisable to take your measurements before placing an order and cross-reference them with our size chart.

Measurement Guide 

  • Bust measurement - measure around the fullest part of your chest by wearing a bra.  Don’t wear a backless or stick-on bra for measurements.
  • Waist measurement- Measure around your natural waistline.  Bend to the side to find the natural crease of your waist, measure at this point. (Approximately 2” above your belly button.)
  • Hip measurement- to take your hip measurements accurately, measure the fullest part of your hips.  Please do this while wearing your underwear.

Tips for choosing the right size 

  • For gathered/flair skirts, your waist measurement is the most important measurement.
  • For dresses with zips, pick a size according to your largest measurements, that is, if your bust is 39” (100cm) and your waist is 28” (71cm) you will need a size 12.
  • Your hip measurement is only important for items fitted from the waist down in which your hip measurement is the deciding factor
