HOW TO TAKE YOUR LEG LENGTH MEASUREMENT
ABOVE THE KNEE
BELOW THE KNEE
MID-CALF
ANKLE LENGTH
FLOOR LENGTH
STEP 1
We start the leg length measurement from the waist as most of our designs are high-waisted. Locate your waistline which is the narrowest part of your torso: it’s helpful to pull your top to be tight against the body so you can locate the narrowest point.
STEP 2
Place the tape measure at your waistline and measure down the leg until you find the point at which you want your garment to end.
For instance: A mini-skirt may finish above the knee whilst a pencil skirt traditionally finishes just below the knee. Remember it’s up to you how long you want the length of your garment to be! We can always take a hem up to make your garment shorter but it’s far trickier to make a garment longer so if you’re unsure it’s always safer to measure a little longer than shorter.

HOW TO TAKE YOUR RISE MEASUREMENT<
STEP 1
Place the tape measure at your waistline and pass the tape measure between your legs.
STEP 2
Where the tape measure reaches your waistline in the centre of your back is your rise measurement.
We’d recommend getting a friend to help or to stand in front of a mirror to take this measurement to ensure you are reaching your waistline at the back and not reaching too high or too low.
HOW TO TAKE YOUR TOP LENGTH MEASUREMENT
Place the tape measure at the centre of your collarbones at the base of your neck and measure down the torso until you find the point at which you want your garment to end. Our Crop-top is designed to end around the waistline + our Tee is designed to end around the hips.
Size Guide
Below is our international size guide including bust, waist and hip measurements in inches & centimetres.We hope that this chart helps you find your perfect garment size with us.However, we are used to altering designs to fit customers who are in between sizes so if you have any specific requirements or need any help please don't hesitate to get in touch.

We are in the process of extending our size range. This is quite a lengthy process for a small brand but it is something we are 100% committed to.If we don't currently go up or down to your size please get in touch with your measurements + we can create you your dream 'design your own' garment!
Your waist is the narrowest point in your torso. It’s helpful to pull your top to be tight against the body so you can locate the narrowest point. Pass the tape measure around your back to meet at the front level with this narrowest point.
STEP 2
Record the number of centimetres where the tape measure meets – this is your waist measurement.
HOW TO TAKE YOUR BUST MEASUREMENT
STEP 1
Lift your arms and pass the tape measure around your back to meet at the front.
STEP 2
You want to make sure the tape measure is level all the way around the body in line with the nipple line.
STEP 3
Record the number of centimetres where the tape measure meets – this is your bust measurement.
HOW TO TAKE YOUR WAIST MEASUREMENT

Your waist is the narrowest point in your torso. It’s helpful to pull your top to be tight against the body so you can locate the narrowest point. Pass the tape measure around your back to meet at the front level with this narrowest point.
STEP 2
Record the number of centimetres where the tape measure meets – this is your waist measurement.
HOW TO TAKE YOUR HIPS MEASUREMENT
STEP 1
Your hip measurement is taken at the widest point of the bottom half of your body. It’s helpful to pull your trousers or skirt to be tight against the body so you can locate this widest point. Pass the tape measure around your back to meet at the front level with this widest point.
STEP 2
You want to make sure the tape measure is level all the way around the body.
STEP 3
Record the number of centimeters where the tape measure meets – this is your hips measurement.

STEP 2
Measure to where you would like your short sleeve to finish on your arm. Typically this is about one third of the way down the upper part of the arm.
STEP 1
Place the end of the tape measure at the edge of your shoulder – just before where it starts to slope down.
