Size guide

Every measurement is in centimetres and taken from the body, not the garment. That difference is the commonest reason a size comes out wrong.

Women

Size	Chest	Waist	Hip
XS	80 - 84	62 - 66	88 - 92
S	85 - 89	67 - 71	93 - 97
M	90 - 94	72 - 76	98 - 102
L	95 - 99	77 - 82	103 - 107
XL	100 - 106	83 - 89	108 - 114
XXL	107 - 113	90 - 96	115 - 121

For knitwear and coats we suggest the larger size; for shirts and blouses, the smaller.

Size	Chest	Waist	Sleeve
XS	86 - 90	72 - 76	81
S	91 - 96	77 - 82	83
M	97 - 102	83 - 88	85
L	103 - 108	89 - 94	87

Sleeve length is measured from the centre back of the neck to the wrist.

Measure at the end of the day — feet swell a little as the day goes on.

Hold the tape flat and unstretched — neither slack nor tight.
Measure the chest at its fullest point and the waist at its narrowest.
Measure over underwear, not over heavy clothing.
Between two sizes, take the larger for knitwear and coats and the smaller for shirts and blouses.
