Abaya & Dress
Our most-worn silhouette. Length runs from shoulder to hem; chest and armhole are one-side, flat measurements — not measured around the body.
| Size | Length | Shoulder | Armhole | Sleeves | Chest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 52 | 14 | 9 | 21 | 21 |
| S | 54 | 14.5 | 10 | 22 | 22 |
| M | 56 | 15 | 10.5 | 23 | 23 |
| L | 58 | 16 | 11 | 24 | 24 |
| XL | 60 | 16.5 | 11.5 | 25 | 25 |
Shirt
Front and back lengths are given separately, as our shirts are cut with a slightly dropped back hem for movement.
| Size | Length (Front) | Length (Back) | Sleeve Length | Shoulder | Chest | Hem |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 29.5 | 32.5 | 23 | 14 | 22 | 24 |
| M | 30 | 33 | 24 | 14.5 | 23 | 25 |
| L | 31 | 34 | 25 | 15 | 24 | 26 |
Skirt
Waist is given as a range to account for our elasticated and drawstring waistbands, which sit comfortably rather than tightly.
| Size | Length | Waist |
|---|---|---|
| S | 39 | 26–28 |
| M | 40 | 28–30 |
| L | 41 | 30–32 |
Where every number comes from
Tap a pin on the diagram, or a line on the list — each one marks exactly where we place the tape when a garment is measured.
-
1
Shoulder
Measured flat, seam to seam, straight across the back of the neckline.
-
2
Armhole
A single side, taken straight down from the shoulder seam to the underarm — not around the arm.
-
3
Sleeve
From the shoulder seam down to the cuff, following the natural drop of the sleeve.
-
4
Chest
Flat across, underarm to underarm on one side only. Double it for an approximate full circumference.
-
5
Length
From the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
A few things worth knowing
Allow 1–2"
Every piece is cut and stitched by hand, so a small variance between the chart and the finished garment is normal — never a flaw.
One side, not all around
Chest and armhole figures are single-side measurements. If you're used to circumference sizing, double the number for comparison.
Compare, don't guess
Lay a piece you already own flat and measure it the same way. Matching it against our chart is far more reliable than a body measurement alone.
Between two sizes?
For abayas and dresses, we suggest sizing up — the looser, flowing fit is part of the silhouette. For shirts and skirts with a closer cut, size up if you'd rather have room to layer, or stay true to size for a fitted look.
Questions we hear often
Go with the larger size for abayas, dresses, and skirts. For shirts, choose based on whether you prefer a closer or more relaxed fit through the chest.
Not exactly — our sizing is drafted in-house around these charts, so we'd always recommend measuring a similar piece you already own rather than relying on a size label from another brand.
Yes, for most abayas and dresses. Reach out before placing your order and we'll let you know if a custom length is possible for that particular style.
It's a one-side, flat measurement rather than a full circumference. Double the number in the chart for a figure that compares to how you'd normally measure yourself.
