Size Information
We use sizes I, II, and III, which correlate to small, medium, and large. Each style links to its own sizing chart on the individual page, but the customer should know the following:
- The size chart figures represent ACTUAL clothing measurements and is liable to be off by ±1/2 inch.
- If your body's measurement matches the one listed for the garment, then the garment may not fit properly because in most cases, the garment measurement must be at least 1" larger than the actual body. The exception to this is where the garment, or some portion of it, must be totally fitted to the body. Examples of close-fitting measurements include the bicep measurements of the Triclodes and Bloom tunics in Collection V, the chest of the Serpent halter top in Collection IV, most measurements for the T-shirt in Collection III, etc.
Please read below for how to measure the chest, waist, low waist, hip, and biceps — the most important areas to ensure proper fit. The "Hem" measurement is not a body measurement, but describes the circumference of lowest portion of the blouse top. For most normal-length (non-tunic) tops, it also correlates to a "high hip" measurement located 3-4" above the hip.
Bust
Measure under your arms around the body at the fullest part of your bust
Waist
Measure around your body at your natural waist, keeping the tape measure comfortably loose
Low Waist
Measure around your body 2 1/2" below your natural waist
Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips
The Extra Large size is made only upon ordering and will therefore have longer delivery times. It is offered in the following styles:
Since the extra larges are made to order, the customer will be emailed for sizing specifics. If however, they want a "standard" extra large, we follow the following minimum measurements for extra large sizes:
- Bust = 44"
- Hip = 46"
- Biceps = 16"
