Garment measurements, not body measurements. The measurements listed are of the finished garment, not your body — clothing is designed with ease for comfort and movement.

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.

✦ All measurements are garment measurements in centimetres. Our pieces are intentionally cut with ease — this is not a fitted style and that's exactly the point.

Grab a soft fabric tape measure. Stand naturally, feet together. Measure over underwear or a single lightweight layer for the most accurate results.

The Three Measurements That Matter

01 Bust

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.

02 Waist

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.

03 Hips

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.

Sizing tip: Our styles are intentionally cut with generous ease. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down — the garment ease will still give you that effortless, relaxed look without overwhelming your frame.

Still not sure on sizing? Our team knows every style — we're here to help.
