Measured, not guessed.
A size label alone tells you very little. This page explains how to read the product information we have, compare it with your own clothes and understand what the numbers do—and do not—tell you.

Take your three numbers once; re-check after big changes, not after every washHow to read our charts.
Four habits. They take the mystery out of every table on the site, and they work on any decent chart anywhere else, too.
Ask first: garment or body?
Some charts measure the garment laid flat; some measure the body the garment should fit; a few never say which. We write down what the supplier's data actually declares — and where it declares nothing, we label the chart plainly rather than invent a basis. Compare your three numbers with the chart and the difference tells you the room.
Centimetres first.
A product chart keeps the source unit and shows a conversion where the data can be read. Some listings do not include a complete usable chart. If you think in inches, the calculator below converts without asking you to do the math in your head.
Per piece, never per label.
An M here is not an M there. Suppliers grade differently, cuts vary, and fabrics behave differently. A generic size table cannot answer for every garment. Where a usable chart exists, it belongs to that item; where it does not, the product page says so.
Read the gap.
Chart minus body is the number that matters. How much room can be generous depends entirely on the cut: a columnar coat may run 10cm over your bust and still look sharp, while a fitted knit wants zero. The gap, plus the fabric note on the piece, is the whole decision.
A real one, as it ships.
Below is an actual chart from the shelf right now — pulled live, not typed up for the page. This is the format you'll find across the shop.

Measurements — the supplier's table doesn't say which of the two the numbers are, so we don't either. Compare with something you already own.
If a garment's chest is 98 and yours is 92, you have six centimetres of difference to distribute — the cut decides whether that reads sharp or tight. That judgement, with the piece's own chart, is how the right size gets chosen.
Open the pieceYour three numbers, in four minutes.
A soft tape, a mirror, a thin layer. One pass, three useful reference numbers.
Take three.
Stand relaxed, arms down, in a thin top. Bust, across the fullest part, tape level under the arms and across your back. Waist, at the narrowest point of your torso, usually just above the navel. Hip, around the fullest part of your seat, feet together.
Snug, not squeezed.
The tape should touch your body everywhere but indent nothing. Breathe out normally before you read the bust and the waist — flexing or holding your breath only cheats the chart you're about to trust. A mirror keeps the tape level.

Centimetres are the chart's native tongue; the calculator below flips both ways
Compare, then order.
Lay a piece that already fits you flat and measure it the way a chart asks you to — that's a garment read. Compare with your three body numbers, forgive the cut for the room it asks, and only then order. If the numbers disagree in person, 30 days, unworn, back to us.
Now run yours.
Adding a chart value from any piece converts it and shows you the room. It won't choose a size for you — the piece's own chart travels with it.
