Styling Suggestions
- Casual daytime: pair with leather sandals or white sneakers and a crossbody bag for an easy, modern look.
- Vintage-inspired: add lace-up ankle boots, a woven belt, and a wide-brim hat to amplify the retro feel.
- Work or meetings: layer a lightweight blazer or cropped cardigan and finish with low heels or loafers.
- Evening out: cinch the waist with a slim belt, wear statement earrings, and choose heeled sandals for a polished silhouette.
- Transitioning seasons: layer under a trench coat or denim jacket and add tights for cooler days.
Care & Fit Tips
- Fit: Designed to sit at the natural waist for a slimming silhouette; consider your usual waist measurement when choosing size.
- Care: For best results, wash gently (hand wash or delicate machine cycle), hang to dry and steam or iron on low heat on the reverse side to refresh pleats.

Every product page has a fit finder next to the size selector — three questions, one recommendation, a few seconds. These charts are for anyone who would rather read the numbers.
How to measure
- Bust / chest. Around the fullest part, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hips. Around the fullest part, roughly 8 in below the waist.
- Inseam. From the crotch seam to the floor, in the shoes you'll wear the trousers with.
Measure over the underwear you'd normally wear, not over clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

How our pieces are cut
- Dresses are cut true to size. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one — most of our dresses have ease through the waist.
- Coats and jackets are cut with room for a knit underneath. Take your usual size; size up only if you layer heavily.
- Knitwear is relaxed by design. Between sizes, take the smaller one unless you want an oversized look.
- Trousers and jeans run true to size. Between sizes, take the larger one.
- Shoes run true to size. If you have a wide foot, take half a size up.
