How to measure

Bust

If possible, get a friend to help. With arms relaxed at your sides, measure the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

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.

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.

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.
