Individual fit can vary depending on the design, fabric, cut and available alteration margin.

Body Measurements Bust, chest, above waist, waist, hips and shoulder.
Garment References Armhole, sleeve and length rows may vary between designs.

Before Choosing Your Size

Compare your measurements with the relevant chart below. If your measurements fall across different sizes, choose the size that accommodates your largest measurement.

Any garment-specific measurements listed on an individual product page should take priority over this general guide.
