How to measure

If possible, get a friend to help. To be sure of accurate readings, measure over the undergarments you’ll be wearing with your purchase, not over your outer clothing. If you need a tape measure, please e-mail us or call us, and we’ll whisk one off to you absolutely free!

Waist

Measure around your waist, in your underwear, at the point where your trousers would normally sit. Keep one finger between the tape and your body.

Hips

Stand with your heels together, and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Inside leg length (inseam)

Take a pair of trousers that fit you well. Measure from crotch seam to the bottom of the leg.

Height

Stand in stocking feet with your feet slightly apart and your back to a wall. Measure from the floor to the top of your head.

Free custom hemming!

Most trousers can be custom finished with plain hems or turn-ups to the nearest ½" (1.5 cm). For styles where turn-ups are not available, no turn-up selection box will appear on the ordering page.

Regular/Plus: plain hem - from 28"/71cm to 34"/86cm
With turn-ups - from 28"/71cm up to 32"/81cm
Unfinished 36"/90cm

Petite: plain hem - from 25"/63.5cm to 31"/78.5cm
With turn-ups - from 25"/63.5cm up to 29"/74 cm
Unfinished 33"/84cm

Tall: plain hem - from 29"/74cm to 36"/90cm
With turn-ups - from 29"/74cm up to 34"/86cm
Unfinished 38"/96.5cm

(If no length is specified, trousers come unfinished.) Women’s jeans are pre-hemmed in several lengths.

Regular, Petite, Tall or Plus?

We’re here to make great clothes for women of all shapes and sizes, so we offer many of our most popular styles in Petite, Tall and Plus, too.

Regular

Regular describes a well-proportioned body 5’ 4"- 5’ 7" tall, with hips slightly larger than bust.

Petite

Petite, at 4’ 11"- 5’ 3" tall, is not only shorter but proportionally smaller, scaled down in shoulder width and sleeve length.

Tall

Tall, at 5’ 8"- 6 ’0", accommodates long torsos. Body length increases1½"/3.8cm, and sleeve length increases 1"/2.5cm from our Regular fit.

Plus

Plus sizes are proportioned to flatter fuller-figured women 5 ’4"- 5’ 7" tall. Compared to our US size 18, 18W is approximately 2"/5cm larger in the bust, waist and hip. Arm girth increases; shoulder width is narrower.
