Standard sizing today tends to be mythical and unreliable because of the changing female body shape and size. Our sizing system is based on the European woman's size and shape so it tends to be generous. We have designed patterns using the average size of several size 14 models. If you normally take a size 14, our clothes should fit you properly. It can vary though depending on the kind of fabric we use.

About our free personalised tailored service

Contrary to popular belief, there is no average or standard size. Everyone is different. We now offer a free but limited special tailoring service customising garments so that they fit properly and therefore shouldn't need altering when you receive them. If you normally have a problem with sleeves, tops or skirt lengths being too long or too short, please just email us with the measured length you require. We will make sure we finish the garment to your specific measurements. Please note when measuring your own body, the best way to obtain an accurate measurement is to ask a friend to help. Or alternatively, take the measurements from an existing garment that fits you perfectly.

Specific tailoring service (charges apply)

If you have regular problems finding clothes to fit your body shape and size, we may be able to alter some of our patterns so that they can be made to fit. All you need to do is contact us explaining your requirements and we will do our best to help.

PLEASE NOTE! THERE IS NO RETURN OR REFUND ON SPECIALLY ALTERED GARMENTS SO PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL MEASUREMENTS YOU PROVIDE ARE ACCURATE.
