Size & Fit Guide
Find a fit that feels right.
Start with your body measurements. Then use the size guide on the product you love.
Measure your body
Bust
Around the fullest part.
Waist
Around your natural waist.
Hips
Around the fullest part.
Keep the tape level and snug, not tight. Write down your measurements in cm or inches.
Compare the chart
Open “Size guide” on the product page. Check what its numbers measure:
Body measurements: find the range containing your measurements.
Garment measurements: subtract your body measurement to find the extra room, called ease.
Example only. Both bust measurements go all the way around.
Use the product’s fit notes to choose how much room you need.
Jackets: how much bust ease?
A general reference for jacket silhouettes:
| Fit | Total bust ease |
|---|---|
| Fitted | 9.5–10.8 cm |
| Semi-fitted | 11.1–14.6 cm |
| Loose | 14.9–25.4 cm |
| Very loose | Over 25.4 cm |
Fabric, lining and layers affect comfort. These ranges apply around the bust, not across the shoulders. Follow the product’s own guidance first.

Check the comfort
-
Check the other measurements.
Shoulders, arms, waist and hips matter too. -
Allow for your layers.
Think about what you will wear underneath. -
Compare with a favourite piece.
Use a similar cut and fabric. Measure it the way the product chart shows.
Clothing should let you sit and move comfortably. A size label alone cannot tell you that.
