      Choose the size closest to your actual body measurements from the measurement chart below when ordering. The measurement chart does not reflect the size of the garment, but rather the size of your body ensuring that the garment fits as designed.

      If you are unsure about your size, select the 'custom measurements (we'll contact you)' option when selecting your size. We will send you an email explaining how to take your measurements, and construct the garments to your exact measurements at no additional charge.

      Garment lengths are calculated relative to an average individual height of 165cm - 170cm (5 ft 5 - 5 ft 7). Should you require the garment to be made to an alternative length, please send us an email.

      Should you wish to view the charts below on a larger scale, kindly refer to 'sizing' under our 'FAQ'S' page, or click here.
