This is our typical size chart. If you are a size 32 (XS) in our garments, your bust, waist, and hips should be consistent with the measurements listed below. If you are in between measurements, depending on the style, you may need to size up or size down. Each product listing will include fit notes so you can make the most informed decision for yourself. You may find, depending on varying silhouettes, that you will need to purchase different sizes for different garments. Purchase based on the measurement that is most consistent for your body (i.e.-- if your waist size fluctuates but your bust does not, purchase based on your waist measurement and get the bust taken in with your tailor).
Size | Bust | Waist | Hips |
---|---|---|---|
32 | 31-33 | 24-25 | up to 34 |
34 | 33-35 | 26-27 | up to 36 |
36 | 35-37 | 28-29 | up to 38 |

I wore this dress for my first outing post partum and it worked so well! The fit is very flattering with the tie and I was able to breastfeed easily because of the buttons. I wore this when I was newly pregnant, post partum and breast feeding, and also now that my babe is weaned. It fit me well in all stages!
Beautiful, comfortable, and exactly as pictured.
While it’s not lined, it’s also not super thin, so you may prefer a slip but you can go without.
Because of the drawstring it’s very flattering and versatile.
