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.
