Measure two things
Lay a garment you already like flat and measure it, rather than measuring yourself over clothes. Across the bust, seam to seam, doubled: that is the number that decides a top. From the shoulder seam to the hem: that is the number that decides whether a tunic covers what you want covered. Two numbers, thirty seconds, and they settle almost every question that reaches the studio inbox.
The rule for being between sizes
Knit or woven decides it. A knit top, a jersey dress or a cardigan gives across the bust and springs back, so between two sizes take the smaller one and let the fabric do the work. A woven blouse, a poplin shirt dress or a lined piece does not give at all, so take the larger one. The fabric line on each page tells you which you are looking at.
How our sizes run
| Bench | Runs | Between two sizes | Watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dresses | true, loose through the waist | down for shape, up to wear over a swimsuit | maxi length on a shorter frame |
| Cover-ups | generous by design | down only if you want it as a dress | button-ups adjust, fixed necklines do not |
| Tops and blouses | true, cut loose not fitted | down on knits, up on wovens | tunic length over leggings |
| Cardigans | generous through shoulder and sleeve | usual size for an open front | up one only if you close it over a thick top |
| Jackets | a size generous to layer | usual size over a tee | roomy over a cardigan |
| Skirts and shorts | true, elastic waist | smaller to sit at the natural waist | rise on a mini |
What a size row means
Every colour has its own ladder of sizes, and the row on a page is that ladder. A step missing from the row is a size not made in that colour, or one with no price in the current update. It is not a size that is coming.
Plus sizes
Most benches run past XL, and 25 per cent of the pages on this site are 2XL or larger. They are cut from the same patterns graded up rather than drawn as a separate line. That matters for one reason: the neckline and the sleeve end in the same place relative to your frame, so a 3XL of a top behaves like the M of the same top.
What we cannot tell you
How a piece will sit on you specifically. Nobody selling clothes on a screen can. What we can do is print the fabric, the sleeve, the neckline and the length, and tell you which way to lean when you are between two numbers.
