Size & Fit Guide

Two numbers decide whether a piece works: your body, and the garment. This guide gives both. Find your size from your own measurements, then check the exact flat measurements of the style you are shopping — every size, XS through L, in inches with centimetres beneath.

These are body measurements — the body each size is cut to fit, not the measurements of the garment itself.

Size US Bust Waist Hip
XS 0–2 32–3381–84 cm 24–2561–64 cm 34–3586–89 cm
S 4–6 34–3586–89 cm 26–2766–69 cm 36–3791–94 cm

Between two sizes? Our pieces are cut for an easy, relaxed silhouette — size up for more drape, size down for a closer fit. If your bust and hip fall in different sizes, choose on the measurement you find hardest to fit, then check the flat measurements for that style below.

How to measure

Use a soft tape, stand relaxed, and keep the tape level — snug, never tight.

1 BUST2 WAIST3 HIP
  1. Bust. Wearing the bra you would normally wear, measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level and parallel to the floor.
  2. Waist. Measure around your natural waist — the narrowest point, usually just above the belly button. Keep one finger under the tape.
  3. Hip. Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, about 8 in below your natural waist.
  4. Inseam. Measure from the top of your inner thigh straight down to the ankle bone, or measure a pair of pants you already love.

Measurements by style

Each garment is measured flat and unstretched. Measurements marked (around) are full circumferences, so you can compare them directly with your own body measurement — the difference between the two is the ease built into the style. Allow a tolerance of about ½ in, as every piece is cut and sewn by hand.

A note on our fabric. Most of our pieces are woven in eco rayon, which contracts slightly when damp and can look a touch smaller after washing. Hand-wash cold, never tumble dry, and a warm steamer will relax the fabric back to its original size and softness.
