Clothing from independent ateliers can vary by cut, fabric, lining, and regional sizing. Use body measurements first, then compare them with the product's size and store guidance.
Choose the size that matches the largest relevant body measurement, especially for fitted pieces.
For custom sizing, send exact measurements and note how you want the garment to fit: close, relaxed, or loose.
Structured fabric needs more ease. Stretch fabric can fit closer. Embroidered pieces may feel firmer.
Contact the store before checkout. It is easier to confirm measurements before cutting fabric than to fix a garment after it is made.
