I want to order a suit but…
I don’t know what size to get…
All of our suits are based on true measurements (as in, what your ACTUAL measurements are, not what the label on your major brand reads) so we highly recommend taking your measurements before placing your order.
how do I measure?
Great question! For bottom pieces such as The Winston, The Dee, or The Honeybaby please measure your waist (or the point at which you wear your suit, for some people that is below their waist as in the photos below).
In the left image, you can see Violeta measures her waist at her TRUE waist, the point where any professional seamstress would measure you. Around the belly button.
In the right image, you see Brandon wears his clothes below his belly, so he is measuring at the point he plans to wear his suit.
Measuring your hips, waist, bust, and torso is always best. We can never have too much information. For top suits like The Andrea Halter Crop and The Rax measure at the largest part of your chest, as you can see below. For one piece suits, like The Martina, be sure to measure your hips and torso- going all the way around your body like a loop, being sure to measure across the buttocks and breasts at the most voluminous area.
Measure across the fullest area of your breast
Measure across the widest portion of your hips
Creating a loop with the tape measure, go between your legs, across your buttock and breast at the fullest point (generally near the nipple).
I don’t have a tape measure. Do I need to be professionally fitted?
I’m not big on sewing either and I don’t have a cloth tape measure lying around my home. However, I do have a standard tape measure and some ribbon! If you have a ribbon or string that you can use to wrap around your body and mark, then you can place that string flat and measure how long it is using a standard construction tape measure. You can see below that I used a piece of yellow ribbon to measure my waist.
