Flavia di Luce
Size guide
Fit is personal. Start with your measurements and always compare them with the size chart for the individual piece.
The letters S, M and L do not correspond to universal measurements. Even within the same category, a fitted style and a loose style can fit differently.
Take your measurements
-
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep a soft tape measure parallel to the floor, without pulling it tight.
-
Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, standing with a natural posture.
-
Hips
With your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom.
Choose according to the style
Blazers
Compare the shoulders, chest, sleeves and length with a blazer that fits you well, laid flat and buttoned. Consider what you will wear underneath: a shirt and a thicker knit require different amounts of room.
Coats and jackets
Pay particular attention to room across the shoulders, chest and arms. Compare the piece with a coat that suits the layers you usually wear. Consider the style’s length in relation to your height.
Suits
Assess the pieces in a suit separately: for the jacket, compare shoulders, chest and sleeves; for trousers, check waist, hips and length. For trousers, also consider the rise and inseam. If the set comes in a single size, check that the measurements of both pieces suit you. The product page specifies what is included and the available sizes.
Dresses
Compare bust, waist, hips and length. For a fitted silhouette, check every circumference; for a looser dress, also consider where the waist falls and your preferred length.
How to measure a garment
- Shoulders: from one seam to the other, where there are defined shoulder seams.
- Chest: from underarm to underarm, with the piece laid flat.
- Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the cuff, unless the chart specifies otherwise.
- Jacket and dress length: from the highest point of the shoulder near the neck to the hem, unless specified otherwise.
- Trousers: measure the waist from side to side and the length from the waistband to the hem. For trousers, also measure the inseam, from the crotch seam to the hem. Always follow the measuring points shown in the chart for that style.
Shoes and boots: measure your foot
- Measure both feet while standing, with your heel against a wall and your weight evenly distributed.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure the distance from the wall in centimetres. Use the longer foot as your reference.
- Compare the measurement with the chart for that specific style. Foot length, insole length and a manufacturer’s size code are not the same thing.
The relationship between size numbers and centimetres can vary between brands. Follow the product’s fit guidance; do not automatically add centimetres or sizes to your measurement.
For tall boots, also consider calf circumference at its widest point and shaft height. If these measurements are unavailable or you are unsure, contact us before ordering.
Between two sizes?
Consider the silhouette, stretch and how you wish to wear the piece. Avoid automatically sizing up or down: the style’s own chart remains the reference.
Send us the name of the piece and your measurements: we will help you compare them.
