Upper-body fit
Measure bust, waist, shoulder, and sleeve details to match the silhouette and proportions of the garment.
How to take your measurements
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the bust while keeping the tape level.
- Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, not the tightest or loosest point.
- Shoulder width: Measure from the outer shoulder edge to the opposite outer shoulder edge.
- Neck: Measure around the base of the neck if the garment includes a collar or neckline that needs structure.
- Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist with a relaxed arm position.
- Upper-body length: Measure from the shoulder to the desired hem or waistline depending on the silhouette.
Lower-body measurements
- Waist: Measure across the narrowest part of the waist.
- Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat.
- Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of the upper thigh.
- Inseam: Measure the leg length from the crotch seam to the hem.
- Outseam: Measure from the waistline to the hem along the outside of the leg.
- Trouser or skirt length: Measure the finished garment length you want from the waist or desired hem point.

Frequently asked questions
Sizing
How do I know which size to choose?
Start with your body measurements and compare them with the closest standard size table. If you are between sizes, we recommend the nearest match or choose custom measurements for a more tailored fit.
Are the measurements in inches?
Yes. The guide uses inches throughout so it aligns with the measurement tables shown on the page.
What if I fall between two sizes?
Use the nearest standard size as a starting point and consider custom measurements if you need a more precise fit. Body proportions vary, and custom sizing is often the best option for a closer match.
How do I order a custom-sized outfit?
Select Custom on the product page, add the item to your cart, and complete the measurement form before checkout. The custom measurements are stored with that cart item so they stay associated with the correct product.
Can I update my custom measurements after adding an item to my cart?
Yes. Open the cart, choose the item marked as Custom, and edit its measurements before proceeding to checkout. The values stay attached to that specific item.
Are standard sizes guaranteed to fit everyone?
No. Standard sizes are a helpful starting point, not a guarantee. Our guide is designed to estimate the closest fit, while custom measurements help narrow the gap for a more tailored result.
How should I take accurate measurements?
Measure with a soft tape, keep it snug but not tight, and take measurements at the same reference points shown in the guide. For best results, measure in front of a mirror and keep the tape level around the body.
