Size Guide
Last updated: Friday 10th April 2026
How to Measure
For the most accurate fit, use a soft measuring tape and follow these guidelines:
- Bust / Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest part, typically just above the navel).
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, approximately 20cm below your waist.
- Inside Leg: Measure from the crotch seam down to your desired ankle length, keeping the tape straight.
Tip: For the best results, measure yourself while wearing lightweight clothing, or measure a well-fitting garment you already own laid flat on a surface.

Fit Notes & Garment Variations
- Standard vs. Relaxed Fit: Garments labelled "regular" or "standard" follow the measurements above. Items marked "relaxed", "oversized", or "drop-shoulder" are intentionally cut larger; we recommend sticking to your usual size or sizing down for a more tailored look.
- Stretch Fabrics: Knitwear, jersey, and blended fabrics containing elastane or spandex will naturally conform to your shape. Non-stretch woven fabrics (e.g., 100% cotton, linen, denim) have less give.
- Garment vs. Body Measurements: The charts above reflect body measurements. Actual garment measurements may vary by ±2–3cm depending on cut, fabric drape, and manufacturing tolerances.
- Seasonal Collections: Sizing may differ slightly between brands or seasonal drops. Always check the product-specific sizing notes on the individual item page when available.
