Measuring your body: Use a soft tape measure directly against your body. Measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hips approximately 20 cm below your natural waist.
Compare to a favourite piece: Measure a similar garment you already own and love, then compare to our size guide for the most accurate fit.
Between sizes? We generally suggest sizing down as our clothing is designed to be flowy. Measurements may vary by 2–3 cm as each garment is measured by hand.

The Three Measurements That Matter
Place the tape close under the armhole at the fullest part of your bust. Measure from side seam, around and back to the same side seam.
Keep the tape parallel to the floor — snug but not tight.
Measure at the narrowest point — usually 2–3 cm above your belly button. Place the tape from side seam, around and back.
Exhale naturally before taking the measurement.
Place the tape approximately 20 cm below your natural waistline at the fullest part of your hips. Measure all the way around.
Stand with feet together for the most accurate result.
