Size Guide For Women
Finding the right size seems logical but not always so obvious. Indeed, nobody wants to wear a garment whose cut does not suit them. This is why we have created this size guide to our products making it straightforward for you to find the right size!
Here's how to find the right size and fit BY TAKING YOUR BODY MEASUREMENT.
A. Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the chest while keeping the measuring tape horizontal.
B. Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of the waist while keeping the measuring tape horizontal. Remember that you will need space to place a finger between your body and the tape measure for pants, shorts, skirts.
C. Hips
Measure around the widest part of the hips while keeping the measuring tape horizontal. Pay attention to your stance, stand tall and keep your feet together. Don't forget to empty your pockets.
D. Neck
Place the measuring tape around the neck. Insert a finger between the ribbon and the Adam's apple to make sure it is not too tight.
