How to measure

For the best fit, stand naturally with your feet about hip-width apart. Use a soft measuring tape and avoid pulling it too tightly—it should sit comfortably against your body.

Silk Camisoles & Silk Slips

If you plan to wear your silk camisole or slip as a layering piece or outerwear during the day, measure while wearing the bra you would normally wear with it. This will provide the most accurate fit.

Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust with your arms relaxed by your sides. Keep the tape level all the way around your body.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, keeping the tape comfortably snug without pulling it tight.

Hips

With your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, ensuring the tape stays level from front to back.
