Help & information

Size Guide

Body measurements for every size, plus necklace lengths and bangle sizes.

All measurements are body measurements in centimetres, not garment measurements. If you are between sizes, the fit note on each product page tells you which way to go. Measurements are a guide and can vary by 1–2cm between styles.

How to measure

  • Bust: around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.
  • Waist: around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your torso.
  • Hips: around the fullest part of your hips, with feet together.

Crochet has natural give in the stitch. For a closer fit, choose the smaller size if you are between two.

Kimonos (one size)

Our kimonos are cut with an oversized, open-front drape to fit UK sizes 6 to 18. The length of each style is described on its product page.

Necklace lengths

Length Where it usually sits
38cm Base of the neck, choker-style
40–42cm Just on the collarbone
44–46cm Just below the collarbone
48cm Towards the top of a scoop or V neckline

Many of our necklaces include a 5cm extender so you can adjust the length. See the Layering Guide for combinations.

Bangles & anklets

  • Bangles are rigid. Measure the widest part of your hand with fingers together (around the knuckles, with thumb tucked in). An inner diameter of 6.0cm usually suits a hand circumference up to about 19cm, 6.2cm up to about 20cm, and 6.5cm up to about 21cm.
  • Anklets have a sliding knot and adjust from approximately 20cm to 28cm.
