Fit & Measurements

Sheer Size Guide

Start with the garment. Compare the flat measurements on the product listing with a similar piece you own that fits well. Sheer Fit is an estimate based on those measurements, the cut and construction; it is separate from the tagged size.

How we measure

Measure a similar garment laid flat and gently smoothed, without pulling or stretching it. Compare like-for-like flat widths in inches. Follow any qualifications on the product listing.

How to measure a dress laid flatA dress outline with horizontal measurement lines at the bust, waist and hip, and a vertical length line. Measure a similar garment laid flat without pulling the fabric. BustWaistHipLength

Bust — across the garment from pit to pit.

Waist — across the fitted or narrowest waist. An empire seam sits above the natural waist and is noted where applicable.

Hip — across the fullest part of the hip; flowing skirts may be less fitted here.

Length — from shoulder or the stated top edge to hem. Follow the starting point in the listing, especially for strapless or adjustable pieces.

Flat widths are not doubled. A 17-inch flat bust is approximately 34 inches around the garment; this is not a guarantee of fit on a 34-inch body. Compare with a similar garment and read the fit notes.

Body size reference (optional)

These are approximate body measurements, not flat garment widths. Do not halve this chart to create garment measurements: wearing room, stretch, lining and cut vary by piece.
