These measurements are general body-size guidelines, not guaranteed finished garment measurements.
Individual products may use different sizing specifications.
3. How to Measure Your Body
Taking accurate measurements is one of the best ways to select the right clothing size.
We recommend using a flexible measuring tape and standing naturally while measuring.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Keep the tape level across your back and avoid pulling it too tightly.
For the most accurate result, wear a comfortable, non-padded bra or the undergarments you would normally wear with the garment.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, usually the narrowest part of your torso.
Keep the measuring tape comfortably fitted without tightening it.
Avoid holding your breath or pulling in your stomach while measuring.
Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Make sure the tape remains level around your body.
Shoulder Width
Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other, across your back.
This measurement can be useful when choosing fitted shirts, blazers, and jackets.
Sleeve Length
Measure from the shoulder point down to the wrist, following the natural line of your arm.
Keep your arm relaxed.
Inseam
Measure from the top of your inner leg down to your desired trouser length.
For greater accuracy, you may measure a pair of trousers that already fits you well.
4. Women’s Dresses Size Guide
When selecting a dress, consider the garment’s overall shape and intended fit.
For fitted dresses, the bust, waist, and hip measurements are particularly important.
For relaxed or flowing dresses, the bust measurement and overall length may be more relevant.
Choosing a Dress Size
Bodycon and Fitted Dresses
Choose a size that corresponds closely to your body measurements while considering fabric stretch.
A-Line Dresses
Focus on bust and waist measurements, as the skirt generally offers more room around the hips.
Wrap Dresses
Adjustable waist ties may provide flexibility, but the bust and shoulder fit should still be considered.
Maxi Dresses
Check the garment length as well as your bust and waist measurements.
Mini and Midi Dresses
Consider the listed length and your height to understand where the hem may fall.
The product description should be used as the primary reference for any specific dress.
5. Tops, Blouses and Shirts
When shopping for tops, consider the following measurements:
Bust circumference.
Shoulder width.
Sleeve length.
Garment length.
Intended fit.
For fitted blouses, the bust and shoulder measurements are especially important.
For oversized shirts, the garment may intentionally have additional room.
A product described as relaxed, loose, or oversized should not necessarily be treated as incorrectly sized.
We recommend reviewing the product’s fit description before choosing a size.
6. Trousers and Jeans
For trousers and jeans, the most useful measurements are usually:
Waist.
Hips.
Inseam.
Rise.
Leg opening.
High-Waisted Trousers
Measure around your natural waist and compare the result with the product’s sizing information.
Mid-Rise Trousers
Consider where the waistband is intended to sit on your body.
Wide-Leg Trousers
Focus on waist, hip, and overall length measurements.
Slim-Fit Trousers
Review waist and hip measurements carefully, especially when the fabric has limited stretch.
Jeans
Denim sizing may vary depending on the amount of stretch and the intended cut.
If the product is made from rigid denim, allow for the fact that it may feel less flexible than stretch denim.
7. Skirts Size Guide
When choosing a skirt, the waist and hip measurements are usually the most important.
For fitted pencil skirts, check both measurements carefully.
For A-line and pleated skirts, the waist measurement may be the primary sizing consideration.
Skirt length should also be considered, particularly when shopping for mini, midi, or maxi styles.
Where available, compare the listed garment length with a skirt you already own.
8. Jackets, Coats and Blazers
Outerwear sizing may differ from ordinary tops because jackets and coats are often designed to be worn over other clothing.
When choosing outerwear, consider:
Bust measurement.
Shoulder width.
Sleeve length.
Garment length.
Intended layering.
If you plan to wear thick knitwear underneath a coat, allow enough room for comfortable movement.
For tailored blazers, shoulder fit is particularly important.
For oversized jackets, additional room may be part of the intended design.
9. Knitwear and Sweaters
Knitwear can vary in fit depending on the fabric composition, knitting structure, and design.
Some knitted garments are naturally stretchy, while others maintain a more structured shape.
When choosing knitwear, consider:
Bust measurement.
Shoulder fit.
Sleeve length.
Garment length.
Fabric stretch.
Intended silhouette.
Follow the product’s care instructions to help maintain its original shape and fit.
10. Understanding Clothing Fit
Different garments are designed to fit in different ways.
Slim Fit
Designed to follow the body’s shape closely.
Regular Fit
Designed to provide a balanced fit with comfortable movement.
Relaxed Fit
Offers additional room for an easy, casual appearance.
Oversized Fit
Intentionally designed with extra volume and a looser silhouette.
Tailored Fit
Features a more structured shape, often with defined shoulders or waist shaping.
The fit description should be considered alongside the garment’s actual measurements.
11. What If You Are Between Sizes?
If your measurements fall between two sizes, the best choice depends on the garment.
For structured or non-stretch clothing, the larger size may provide a more comfortable fit.
For stretch fabrics, your preferred level of closeness may influence the size you select.
For loose-fitting garments, the smaller size may be suitable if the product is intentionally oversized.
These are general suggestions rather than guarantees.
We recommend checking the garment’s measurements and contacting customer support if you are uncertain.
12. Fabric and Stretch Considerations
Fabric composition can influence how clothing fits and feels.
Cotton
May offer a breathable and comfortable feel, although stretch depends on the fabric construction and composition.
Polyester
Can be used in a variety of structured or lightweight garments.
Elastane or Spandex Blends
May provide additional stretch and flexibility.
Linen
Often has a more structured feel and may crease naturally.
Viscose
May offer a soft drape, depending on the fabric construction.
Denim
May be rigid or stretchy depending on its composition.
Always review the material information listed on the product page.
13. Garment Length and Height
The same garment may appear different on customers of different heights.
When available, check the product’s listed length before ordering.
For dresses, skirts, and coats, the measurement is commonly taken from a specified shoulder or waist reference point.
For trousers, the inseam is particularly helpful.
Product photography may provide styling inspiration, but the listed measurements are more reliable for assessing fit.
14. Measuring Clothing You Already Own
If you are unsure about your size, compare the measurements of a similar garment that fits you well.
Place the garment flat on a smooth surface.
Measure the relevant areas without stretching the fabric.
For example:
Measure the width across the chest.
Measure the waist width.
Measure the hip width.
Measure the shoulder width.
Measure the sleeve length.
Measure the overall garment length.
Where measurements are taken flat across the garment, double the width when comparing it with a full circumference measurement, unless the product instructions specify otherwise.
Remember that finished garment measurements may include additional room for comfort and movement.
15. Common Sizing Questions
Are your sizes based on UK sizing?
Our general Size Guide uses UK women’s clothing sizes as the primary reference.
Individual product labels or specifications may differ, so please check the relevant product page.
Are your clothes true to size?
Fit depends on the individual garment, its fabric, and its design.
We recommend comparing your measurements with the product-specific information.
Should I order a larger size for fitted clothing?
Not necessarily.
Review the garment’s measurements and fabric stretch before deciding.
Can I exchange an item if the size does not fit?
Eligible items may qualify for an exchange or return under our Returns & Exchanges Policy.
Exchanges depend on product availability and applicable conditions.
Can I contact you for sizing assistance?
Yes. Our customer service team can help explain the available product measurements and sizing information.
