Size and Fit Guide

Overview Our Sizes How to style

Our garments are designed to be lived in — comfortable, flattering, and not mean-spirited.


Most styles are intentionally relaxed through the body, with shape where it matters. If you like an easy fit, choose your usual size. If you prefer things neater and closer to the body, consider sizing down in our more relaxed styles.


Every product page includes measurements to help you decide, and if you’re unsure, we’re happy to guide you — just send us your height and usual size (and which piece you’re looking at).

HOW OUR SIZING WORKS

Choose your usual
size from the first number shown. Many of our designs are generously
cut and may also fit the larger sizes shown alongside it - it simply
depends on how you like to wear your clothes: more relaxed or a little
more fitted. It may sound counter intuitive but with our generous use of fabric choosing the smaller size can often benefit a bigger body.

How to style

Our pieces are designed to be worn with ease, not overworked. On relevant product pages you’ll find short styling videos to give you ideas on how each piece can be worn. Our cotton silks and linens love body heat far more than they love an iron, so let your body do the work — they will soften, fall and drape as they should. Many of our tops are designed to work beautifully with a small tuck, side tuck or front tuck, depending on what feels right for you. We always aim for that casual, “I just threw it on” look that somehow still says chic.

Where are your garments made?

+ -

Our garments are made in Bali by our own atelier. We have a small, long-standing team who have been with us from the start. Each piece is made from start to finish by one person— it’s slow fashion in the best sense.

Are your fabrics pre-washed / will they shrink?

+ -

All our linens are washed and line dried before we cut - so what you see is what it will remain after you wash it, no shrinkage. Follow the care notes on the product page. When in doubt: cool hand wash and never a dyer.

Do you restock sizes?

+ -

Sometimes. Many pieces are produced in limited runs, and some colours or fabrics won’t return. If something you love is sold out, contact us and we’ll do our best t help.

What if I’m between sizes?

+ -

Many of our pieces are a relaxed fit so you can size down if If you like a tidy fit, go down. When in doubt, we’ll happily advise — it’s quicker than guessing, just message and we will get back to you asap, or refer to the garment fit info on each product page.

How do I choose the right size?

+ -

Use the garment measurements on each product page and compare them with a favourite item you already own (laid flat). If you’d like help, message us with:

  • the style name
  • your height
  • your usual size


and we’ll recommend the best fit.

Are your garments true to size?

+ -

Generally, yes — with the caveat that many of our pieces are designed to have an easy, relaxed fit. If you’re between sizes or prefer a closer fit, sizing down often works in our roomier tops and shirts.

What sizes do you carry?

+ -

Most of our garments are available in a core size range. Availability varies by style and fabric, as we produce in small runs and certain sizes sell out quickly. XS through to XL.

Can I return or exchange something if it doesn’t fit?

+ -

Yes — provided it’s unworn and in original condition. If you’re unsure about sizing, we’re here to help you choose well upfront, but we do understand fit can be personal.
