French Sizing System

The world follows the French size, even Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand), but not U.S.A.. The French size is often referred to as the European size. Recently, the U.K. changed to the French sizing system just as they did with the metric system, therefore, if you're from the U.K., please, pay attention the body part sizes - numeric names may be confusing as they look similar to the imperial sizing system.

Imperial Sizing System

The imperial sizing system is now only used by the U.S.A.. Many older people may still refer to it in other English speaking countries like the U.K. and Australia. It is advised to follow the French system, above. If you bought a suit in Australia within the last 30 years, the label will have the above French size. For more assistance, please, do not hesitate to contact us.

How to measure yourself

Enter your dimensions and click 'Save to Account' so you'll be able to consult them later and always get the right suit or tailleur.

Requirements:
A person to help you measure yourself; and
A couturier's measuring tape (the floppy one, get one here).

	Chest min. 86 cm ~ max. 121 cm min. 34" ~ max. 50" Stand up straight with your arms down and relaxed. Have your assistant measure all the way around your chest. Your assistant should slide their hand under the measuring tape as a buffer (or add 1.5 cm). The measuring tape should go under your under-arms, across your nipples and meet at your sternum. Note: your arms must be down and relaxed, otherwise your latissimus dorsi will flex, creating a false read.
	cm cm inches
	Shoulder min. 42.3 cm ~ max. 49.5 cm min. 16½" ~ max. 19½" Stand up straight and have your assistant measure the space in between the tops of your acromioclavicular (AC) joints (A.K.A.: the clavicle).
	cm cm inches
	Waist min. 83 cm ~ max. 119 cm min. 32½" ~ max. 46¾" Stand up straight and have your assistant measure around your waistband area. Your assistant should slide their hand under the measuring tape as a buffer (or add 1.5 cm). Note: this is not your hip. Do not measure at your hip bones.

Questions

Q. Do I measure with clothes on?
A. Yes, measure with a T-shirt on. If you have a suit that fits you well, you can use this suit as a guide.

Q. My dimensions are in all different rows, which one should I order?
A. If your dimensions are all in different rows, please, re-evaluate each dimension. If, after re-evaluating your dimensions, they are all still different, you can either contact us or order the size that corresponds to your chest. If the variance in sizes between chest and shoulders is larger than one, it is not advised to order a suit unless you plan to visit a seamster or seamstress.

Q. If the size is incorrect, can I exchange it?
A. Yes. If the size is incorrect, we have a full return policy for this reason. Note: we will not cover postage charges to Melbourne, Australia.
