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.

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.
