Choosing based on the type of garment
Pyjamas
Choose mainly based on your bust and hip measurements. The trousers should remain comfortable at the waist and hips.
Nightgowns
Use your bust size as the primary measurement. Also take your hips into account for straight or more fitted styles.
Nightdresses
Choose based on your bust and hip measurements. For a looser fit, opt for the larger size if you are hesitating.
Lounge tops
Use your bust measurement primarily. The garment should fall naturally without pulling at the shoulders or bust.
Lounge trousers
Choose based on your waist and hip measurements. The waistband should stay in place without compressing your stomach.
Dressing gowns and robes
Choose your usual size. If you want to wear several layers underneath or prefer a more enveloping fit, choose the larger size.
Kimonos and jackets
Use your bust size as the primary measurement and check that the sleeves and shoulders offer enough ease.
Plus-size models
Available sizes may vary depending on the collection. Always check the sizes available directly on the product page.
Choosing based on the material
Cotton and viscose
These materials can offer different degrees of ease depending on the cut. Choose the larger size if you prefer a looser garment.
Silk and satin
These materials are generally less stretchy. Use your largest measurement among the bust, waist, and hips.
Velvet, fleece, and warm fabrics
Allow enough ease to move comfortably and wear a light layer under the garment if needed.
Stretchy knit
Knit fabrics hug the silhouette more closely. Choose your usual size or the larger size for a more relaxed fit.
How to recognize a good fit
At the bust
The fabric should fall naturally without pulling, gaping between buttons, or compressing the bust.
At the waist
The waistband should remain comfortable both when sitting and standing, without digging deeply into your stomach.
At the hips
The garment should maintain a nice fluidity without stretching at the hips or restricting movement.
At the shoulders and sleeves
The seams should naturally follow the shoulders and allow you to move your arms freely.
