The sizing remains consistent with our core range, with lengths reduced and volume carefully balanced in the design details, ensuring a more proportioned and effortless fit for shorter frames.
Finding Your Perfect Fit
To ensure you find your best size in our Under 5'4 collection, we’ve included detailed garment measurements on each product page. These measurements are taken with the garment lying flat, so you can easily compare them with similar items in your own wardrobe.
If you have a tape measure handy, we recommend measuring a comparable piece and matching it to our size chart for the most accurate fit. Each products size chart can be found under 'Size and Fit' on their product page
Here’s how to measure:
TOPS
Bust: Measure straight across just below the armhole from side to side, then double the number.
Waist: Measure at the narrowest part of the garment or at the waist seam.
Measure approximately 20 cm below the waist.
BOTTOMS
Waist: Lay the waistband flat and measure straight across from side to side. Then double the measurement.
Hips: Measure 20 cm down from the top of he waistband across the widest part of the hip area, then double that number.
Once you have your garment’s flat-lay measurements, compare them to your body measurements—ensuring the garment is a few centimetres larger for a comfortable fit.
