Made to Measure

Shoulder Width:

Measure across the back from the corner of one shoulder to the corner of the other shoulder.

Bust:

Measure around the fullest part of the bust. This measurement is taken above the band of your bra and may not be the same as your bra size.

Waist:

Measure the smallest part of the waist. The natural waist is below the rib cage and usually above the bellybutton. Do not take this measurement around the waistband of your clothing.

Hip:

The hip measurement is taken at the widest part of the hips (around your bottom!). Do not take this measurement around the waistband of your clothing, or where your hands fall when you "put your hands on your hips.“

Sleeve:

With one arm down at a slight angle, start from the corner of the shoulder and measure down to where you'd like your sleeve to end. You can also use a shirt that already fits you well. Just lay it flat and measure from the corner shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.

Length of Dresses

Stand upright. Measure from the tip of your shoulder to your required length. For Dresses and Jumpsuits, measure this length with heels on if you plan to wear your piece primarily with heels.  It's helpful to have someone assist you with this measurement.       

Length of Pants

Measure from the smallest part of your waist to your required length. Measure this length with heels on if you plan to wear your piece primarily with heels.  It's helpful to have someone assist you with this measurement. If you don’t have assistance, stand in front of a mirror and place the starting point of the measuring tape to the ground then measure upward to your waist or the tip of your shoulder.       

*If you don't have a cloth measuring tape, you can use a piece of non-stretchy string or fabric. Simply mark where your measurements fall on the string and then measure that length with a metal measuring tape, ruler or other item of known measurement (a standard piece of paper, dollar bill, etc.).

*Please ensure to retake your Bust, Waist and Hip each time you place an order as your measurements can fluctuate regularly.

Below is our Ready-to-wear sizing guide, However, we do strongly advise that you measure yourself.
