Sizing and measurement

Every piece is cut to order, so a size is a specification and not a stock level. Take a standard size from the chart, or send your own measurements and have the piece cut to them — and if you send them once, you never have to send them again.

Standard sizes

Cut to a published block.

Six sizes drafted on the body chart below. Latex is cut smaller than the body and stretches onto it, so pick the size your own measurements fall into rather than sizing up.

Made to measure

Cut to your measurements.

Choose made to measure on any garment and fill in the measurement fields. It carries no fee and adds no production time; the product page shows when a larger cut is priced higher. Like every piece, it is final sale unless it is faulty, damaged or not made as ordered.

When to choose which

Between sizes, measure.

If your measurements sit inside one column of the chart, a standard size will fit. If they fall across two columns, or if your height sits far from the guide value for your chest, made to measure is the better answer.

Body chart

Body measurements in centimeters — your body, not the finished garment. Chest, waist and hip are given as the range each size covers.

Latex has significant stretch, so finished measurements carry a small tolerance.

Gloves and socks

Each on its own chart. For every size the chart gives the piece's own measurements in centimeters and, where the atelier gives them, the body measurements it fits.

Measure once.

Take your measurements

Charts further down this page draw every one of the 49 measurements we record, each numbered, each with the workshop’s own instruction. Fill in what you can; a partly filled sheet is still worth keeping.
Keep them on your account

One page in your account holds the sheet. Nothing is shared, nothing is published, and you can change or clear it whenever you like.
Every order fills itself in

Choose made to measure on any garment and the fields are already complete. A catsuit asks for twenty-seven measurements; you will not be typing them.

Change a number on one order — a shorter sleeve for one jacket, say — and we say quietly that it differs from the sheet, and leave the sheet alone unless you ask us to update it. One garment is not a new body.

How to measure

Measure over close-fitting underwear, keep the tape level and snug without pulling it in, and take each measurement twice. Shoulder width is the one point that is hard to take alone, so ask someone to help with it if you can.

The red numbers on each drawing are the numbers beside the boxes on your measurement sheet and on any order, so a line on a chart always leads to one field and no other.

Basics

1 Height
Stand against a wall without shoes. Mark the wall level with the top of your head and measure to the floor.
2 Weight
Your weight in kilograms, without shoes. It tells us how much sheeting the piece needs.

Torso

3 Neck
Around the middle of the neck, tape level. Keep one finger under the tape.
4 Shoulder width
From the bony point at the end of one shoulder, across the back over the bump at the base of the neck, to the point of the other shoulder. Ask someone to help if you can.
5 Chest
Around the fullest part of the chest, tape level front and back, arms down.
6 Chest height
From the neck-shoulder point — the side of the neck root, where the shoulder begins — straight down to the fullest point of the chest.
7 Waist
Around the natural waist, the narrowest point above the hip bones. Do not pull the tape in.
8 Abdomen
Level, three centimeters below the navel. Stand normally; do not hold your stomach in.
9 Hip
Around the fullest part of the seat, feet together.
10 Shoulder to waist
Vertical, from the neck-shoulder point straight down to the waistline.
11 Shoulder to hip
Vertical, from the neck-shoulder point straight down to the line where the hip is fullest.
12 Shoulder to knee
Vertical, from the neck-shoulder point straight down to the middle of the kneecap.
13 Torso loop
One continuous loop from the hollow between the collarbones, down the front, between the legs and back up to the bump at the base of the neck. Keep the tape taut. This is the measurement that decides whether a one-piece is comfortable to stand up in.
