Size & Fit
We make it easier than ever to shop online by including measurements for all our products. Get started by measuring your chest or waist:
Chest: Measure the distance from one armpit to the other, at the widest part of the chest.
Waist: Measure the distance from one waistband to the other. Multiply this figure by two.

Still not sure? Take a look at our complete size guide here.

We include a way to filter your searches by a specific chest or waist size -

Attention To Detail
Some items might be difficult to see when not in person. This is why we strive at relaying as much information in the description or closeup photos. Some various examples: 
High Front / Low Back:  The garment falls lower in the back and high in front. Ex: Blouses, Dress or etc.
Low, Mid & High Side Slits: How high the slits on the side are. These sometimes can be tricky to see.
Elastic Cuff:  Whether sleeves end without or with elastic cuffs.
Elastic Waist: If the waistband can be stretched. Generally for leggings and trousers.
Hook Enclosure: Generally for trousers. Helps to differentiate between buttons, hook enclosures, clasps and zip-ups.
Embroidered: For garments with patterns stitched on the fabric.
Floral Print: For garments which feature flowers of all kinds. Tiny, large and detailed.
