Size Guide

For the most accurate information on sizing for particular items, please refer to our product descriptions, measurements, and model specs.  

We recommend looking at the Measurements tab before purchasing as this will assure you have the perfect fit!

HOW WE MEASURE

We measure all of our items on a Flat Surface from seam to seam.

TOPS / DRESSES

• Length: Measure length of the top from shoulder seam to end of shirt 
• Bust: Measures across the chest of the top from underarm seam to underarm seam and then doubled 
• Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the bottom of the sleeve

BOTTOMS

• Rise: Measure from the inner crotch seam to the top of the waistband 
• Tip: Measure the rise before the waist so you can see where the waistband will sit on your body!
• Waist: Measure the waistband from side to side and then double
• Hips: Measure the widest part from side to side and then double
• Inseam: Measure from the inner crotch seam to the bottom hem of the leg

FINDING *YOUR* PERFECT FIT

TOPS / DRESSES

• Click on the size you are interested in and check out the bust measurement. Measure on yourself around the largest part of your bust and this number should correspond to the size you want.
• Keep in mind, a lot of oversized looks have a larger bust. To see if this will fit how you like, we recommend comparing the measurements to a similar top you have in your closet! 
• If you are wanting to know how long the top/dress is, look at the “length” measurement. Measure on yourself from your shoulder down the length measurement to see where the top will hit on you. 

BOTTOMS

• For the waist: Click on the size you are interested in, and look at the “rise” measurement. Measure on yourself where the crotch inseam would hit up the rise measurement to your waist. This is where the waistband will hit. From there, measure around your waist to see if your measurement aligns with the waistband size of the bottoms. 
• For the length: The best way to determine the length, is to use the inseam measurement. Measure on yourself from where the crotch inseam would hit down the inseam measurement. This will show you where the pants will hit on you.
