HOW TO MEASURE YOUR BODY.

Bust

With a bra on and your clothes off, measure around the fullest part of your bust and under the arms. Keep the tape straight across your back and level to the floor.

Waist

While in a relaxed position, measure around your natural waist - the narrowest part of your waistline usually around your bellybutton.

Hips

Stand with your legs and feet together and measure around the fullest part of your bottom, approximately 20 cm or 8 inches below your waistline.

PRODUCT PAGE MEASUREMENTS

Measurements on each product page are flat lay measurements of the product (not body measurements).

We lay the garment flat, and measure it across one way, as accurately as possible. All measurements are displayed in cms. It’s important to note that our measurements are of the actual garment, not body measurements.

If you'd like to compare these to your body measurements, simply double our flat measurements for bust, waist or hips to get the full circumference measurement.

To best determine fit, we suggest selecting a garment you already own with a similar fit, and comparing those measurements to the ones you see on this website.

You can also use our TRUE FIT size recommender which will determine what size you should pick, based on your measurements & other products/brands that fit you. 

We also add notes to each product on how we find each item to fit, whether they are standard sizing or if we suggest going up or down. We do our measurements the way they are so it’s easy for you to lay one of our favourite things out flat and measure across one way, as we think that’s easiest.
