Measuring & Fit Guide
This fit guide will help you determine whether the garment you are interested in will be the right fit.
The measurements taken are from a flat garments.
It's best to measure a garment similar to the one you're interested in purchasing against the listed measurements.

DRESSES |
PANTS |
|
|
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement. |
Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements |
|
|
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement. |
LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam. |
|
|
HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement. |
RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband. |
|
|
LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso, and then a waist down measurement. |
INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam. |
|
|
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.** |
*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.
**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve.
The measurements below is taken by doubling the flat garment measurement.
