Size Guide

Choosing well is the first step to looking unforgettable. Our charts cover every piece across the Ellah Fashion, Orenza and Laurex & Co collections — measure yourself once, note the numbers, and pick the fit that is right for you.

1. Size Charts

Our charts list body measurements, not the finished garment. Compare the numbers below against your own bust, waist and hips (or chest, waist and neck for our menswear), and choose the size where your measurement falls between the two columns. If you are between two sizes, we will always tell you which way to go.

2. How to Measure

You need a soft measuring tape, a mirror and about five minutes. Measure over the underwear or the light layer of clothing you would actually wear with the piece, and keep the tape level and snug — not pulled tight, not loose.

  1. Bust / Chest

    Run the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level under the arms and across the back. Do not pull the tape tight — keep one finger beneath it.

  2. Waist

    Find your natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel. Wrap the tape there without sucking in, and keep it parallel to the floor.

  3. Hips

    Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest point of your hips and seat, roughly 20 cm below the natural waist. Keep the tape level all the way round.

  4. Shoulder

    Measure across the back, from the bony point of one shoulder to the other. Let your arms hang naturally — do not stretch them forward.

  5. Neck

    Place the tape just below the Adam’s apple and wrap it around the base of the neck. Leave room for comfort — you should be able to slip a finger underneath.

  6. Height & Inseam

    For the best fit on trousers and dresses, measure from your crotch seam straight down the inside of your leg to the floor while wearing the shoes you plan to wear.

3. Fit Notes by Collection

The same chart guides all three houses, but each collection is cut and finished differently. These notes tell you how each one is designed to sit on the body.
