Product-Specific Size Notes
Dresses
Our dresses come in various styles, from fitted to flowy. For fitted styles, consider your largest measurement (bust, waist, or hips) when choosing your size. For wrap dresses, your bust and waist measurements are most important.
Tops & Blouses
For a comfortable fit, use your bust measurement as your primary guide. If you have broader shoulders, you might want to size up. Our blouses are designed with a bit of extra room for comfort.
Pants & Skirts
Use your waist and hip measurements to determine your size. Our pants have a medium rise that sits at the natural waist. If your waist and hip measurements correspond to different sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for comfort.
Sizing FAQs
What if I'm between sizes?
If you're between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit. However, this can vary by garment style. For fitted styles, consider your body shape and personal preference for fit.
How do I know if something will fit before ordering?
Taking accurate measurements and comparing them to our size chart is the best way to determine fit before ordering. If you're still unsure, you can contact our customer service team for specific product fit recommendations.
Do your clothes shrink after washing?
Our garments are pre-washed to minimize shrinkage. However, to maintain the original size and quality, we recommend following the care instructions on the garment label. Generally, we recommend cold water washing and air drying when possible.
What if the item doesn't fit?
If your item doesn't fit, you can return or exchange it within 30 days of purchase. Please see our Returns & Exchanges Policy for more details.
