How We Measure Garments
Measuring garments is simple! We lay each garment flat and measure it across in a single direction as precisely as possible. All measurements are provided in centimeters (cm).
Please note that our measurements reflect the dimensions of the garment itself, not body measurements. To compare these to your own body measurements, simply double the flat measurements for areas like the bust, waist, or hips to calculate the full circumference.
To ensure the best fit, we recommend choosing a garment you already own that fits well and comparing its measurements to the ones provided on our website. We also include notes with each product to help guide you on sizing, whether it aligns with standard sizing or if we suggest sizing up or down. For items with stretchy waists, we provide a range of measurements, showing the unstretched to stretched dimensions (e.g., 44–56 cm).
We measure garments this way so it’s easy for you to replicate at home by laying your favourite pieces flat and measuring across – it’s straightforward and effective!
How to Measure Dresses & Tops
To measure dresses and tops, lay the garment flat and measure the following areas:
- Bust: Measure straight across the garment just below the armhole.
- Waist: Measure the narrowest part of the waist area.
- Hips: Measure the widest part of the garment’s lower half.
- Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
- Shoulder Width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the top.
- Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve or cuff.
- Sleeve Width: Measure the widest part of the sleeve when lying flat.
