Sizing
Every measurement here is from an actual garment, not a seller’s chart. We order before we list. If it didn’t fit right, it isn’t here.
We measure flat, in centimetres, before the garment is washed. Stretch fabrics are measured unstretched unless noted.
How to measure yourself
Chest: Around the fullest part, arms relaxed at your sides.
Waist: Around your natural waist, or wherever you want the garment to sit.
Hips: Around the fullest part, usually 20–23cm below the natural waist.
Inseam: From the crotch seam to the hem, along the inner leg.
What we measure on each garment
| Measurement | How we take it |
|---|---|
| Chest | Flat across the chest, doubled |
| Waist | Flat at the waistband, doubled |
| Hip | Flat at the widest point below the waist, doubled |
| Length | From highest point of shoulder or waistband to hem |
| Inseam | Crotch seam to hem, along inner seam |
| Sleeve | From shoulder seam to cuff |
Elastic waistbands are measured unstretched unless we note otherwise. Most have significant stretch — we’ll say how much.
A note on seller size charts
We include the seller’s own chart where it’s available, but we’ve found it unreliable more often than not. The measurements we took from the garment are what we stand behind. When there’s a significant difference, we say so in the product notes.
