Size Guide
Our pieces are cut for an easy, unhurried drape. Measure once, order with confidence — and when you fall between sizes, size up for a more relaxed line.
Size chart
Measurements refer to body dimensions, not the garment itself. Find where your bust, waist and hip fall and choose the size that holds all three; if they sit across two sizes, follow your largest measurement.
| Size | Bust (cm) | Bust (in) | Waist (cm) | Waist (in) | Hip (cm) | Hip (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 80–84 | 31–33 | 60–64 | 24–25 | 86–90 | 34–35 |
| S | 84–88 | 33–35 | 64–68 | 25–27 | 90–94 | 35–37 |
| M | 88–94 | 35–37 | 68–74 | 27–29 | 94–100 | 37–39 |
| L | 94–100 | 37–39 | 74–80 | 29–31 | 100–106 | 39–42 |
| XL | 100–108 | 39–43 | 80–88 | 31–35 | 106–114 | 42–45 |
Inch values are rounded from centimetres for reference. A difference of a centimetre or two is well within the ease of our fabrics.
How to measure
Use a soft tape measure over bare skin or light layers, keeping it level and snug but never tight. It helps to have someone measure for you and to stand relaxed, breathing normally.
- — Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, tape parallel to the floor.
- — Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline, above the navel.
- — Hip: measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Fit notes
Our loungewear and sleepwear are designed with generous, fluid ease; expect a soft, draped line rather than a close fit. Lingerie and bralettes are cut closer to the body for support. If you prefer a leaner silhouette, take your usual size; for a more enveloping feel, or if you sit between two sizes, we recommend sizing up.
Fabric & care
Because we work with natural and cellulosic fibres such as modal and long-staple cotton, a little considered care keeps pieces looking their best for years.
- — Machine wash cool (30°C) on a gentle cycle, or hand wash, with like colours.
- — Use a mild detergent; skip bleach and fabric softeners, which dull fibres over time.
- — Wash lingerie in a mesh bag to protect delicate trims and elastics.
- — Reshape and line dry away from direct heat and sun; avoid tumble drying.
- — Cool iron if needed, or simply let creases fall out as the fabric relaxes.
Kids sizing
Where we offer children's pieces, they are sized by age in two-year steps — 3–4Y, 5–6Y, 7–8Y, 9–10Y and 11–12Y — cut with a little room to grow and to move. Age is a starting point rather than a rule: if your child is taller or slighter than average, choose by height and by the bust and waist measurements above, and size up when they fall between two ages. For anything specific, write to us with your child's height and measurements and we will advise.
