Why Flat Size Measure
For every garment that is sold as "one size "( like there really is one-sheesh ) we use a flat lay measuring system.
Please note we try really hard to be accurate and consistent however type of fabrics and varying companies may mean that 100% accuracy is not always possible. But of course we will do our best though.
Please read the size charts carefully, and follow our measuring tips to help you find a good fit.
1- Most Important _ Measure a Similar garment that fits you well BUT NOT WHILE YOU ARE WEARING IT.
WE MEASURE ALL GARMENTS LYING FLAT and list the MAXIMUM measurement. This may be slightly different than your measurements taken by measuring yourself with a tape. To find your measurements, the best thing you can do is to measure a garment that fits you well. If possible try and find a similar cut and fabric to the one you are looking at .
For example -if you are looking at a smock dress find a loose fitting dress in your closet and take the measurements . If its a knitted fitted dress ( as in a stretch knit,think polyester ,nylon ) use that .If it's a tailored shirt with no stretch and buttons get that so your size comparisons will be fairly accurate.
How To Measure
- Lay your garment flat on a table or the floor
- Take a measuring tape and carefully measure all the areas as indicated in the illustration below.
- We use inches (Never got the hang of metric -sorry )
- For easy reference take note of all your measurements and keep that for future products . ( I take a snapshot of it and store it on my phone )
So for example: Lay a dress that fits you well flat and measure the waist. If it measures 16 inches, then the waist measurement will appear in size chart as 16 inches ( your body measurement at the waist will be 32 inches -16 x 2=32 inches.)
Match your measurements to the largest garment measurement that matches yours to ensure a good fit.
