Help & Instructions

How to Measure

  • Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
  • Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the smallest part).
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.

Tip: Use a soft measuring tape, stand straight, and keep the tape snug (not too tight).

Fit Notes

  • Stretch fabric: Choose your normal size.
  • Non-stretch or fitted dresses: Size up for comfort.
  • Between two sizes? Choose the bigger size, especially for the hips.

African Body Proportions Note

Many African body types are curvier with wider hips. If your hip measurement is larger than your bust/waist size, choose the size that matches your hips for the best fit.

Shop Note

Measurements may vary slightly depending on fabric and design. If you’re unsure, share your bust/waist/hips (in cm) and we’ll recommend a size.
