Sizing Guide

Unsure about sizing ? Please feel free to call us for help on 01256 351 283.

We can advise you on the best fit for each garment.

HOW TO USE OUR SIZE GUIDE ?

All labels size differently even for the same size. As such, we spend a lot of time of measuring the stock we receive as opposed to using a general guide. In the product description of the article you are interested, you will find a table of measurement that is specific to the garment.

To use it, follow our recommendations below. If at all unsure, please email us or call on 01256 351 283. We are always happy to help.

1. "TO FIT CHEST/BUST"

By Chest to fit, what we mean is that we measure the garment in question and we've allocated some breathing space. For instance, with a cotton Breton top, we would assume a 5cm/2 inch breating space between the garment and your chest. Therefore a top that measures, let's say, 44 inch chest, would translate as a chest to fit of 42 inch. 

For a jacket, we would usually assume a 10-12cm/4-5 inch breathing space, so if a jacket measures 46", we would recommend for a chest to fit of 41-42 inch.

So if you are unsure about your chest measurement, measure your chest at its widest or your tummy whatever is the widest. This measurement is then your "to fit chest".

For ladies, please measure your bust wearing your bra on. This is then your "to fit bust".

2. MEASURE YOUR OWN GARMENT

The alternative and additional method is to measure one of your own garments to compare with our garment's measurements we provide in the product description of the item. Please ensure it is very similar in design and thickness of fabric.

Lay flat your item. Button it up if a jacket. Place your tape measure across the under arms as shown on the picture below as (A) and double the value read. For the length, do the same as (B) or take the highest point of the neckline to bottom hem.

You can then compare your data with ours. It is strongly recommended to do the two methods to reduce the risk of ordering the wrong size.
