Comfort by Design, Tailored to You
Step 1: Discover Your Silhouette
Before choosing your size, it’s helpful to understand how our pieces are intended to sit on your body:
- Our Signature True-to-Size Cuts: These garments are designed to glide gently over your frame. They are comfortably relaxed but structured around the shoulders and bust.
- Our Artisanal Oversized Cuts: These pieces embrace a beautifully flowing, baggy, and unconstrained aesthetic. If you prefer a closer, more defined fit, we recommend selecting one size down for these specific designs.
Step 3: Understanding "Ease" (The Secret to Longevity)
Because 100% natural linen is a woven fabric with no synthetic stretch, your clothes need a little breathing room—what tailors call "ease." If a linen garment is pulled too tight, the constant tension can stress the hand-stitched seams and thin out the delicate fibers over time.
To ensure your piece is comfortable and lasts for decades, your body measurements should be smaller than the final garment measurements listed on the product page:
- For Tops & Dresses: Look for an ease of 8–10 cm (3–4 inches) larger than your bust.
- For Trousers & Skirts: Look for an ease of 6–8 cm (2–3 inches) larger than your hips.
*Note: Only the elasticated or fitted waistbands of our bottoms should match your exact waist size.
Bespoke Customization: Your Vision, Our Hands
Because we cut and assemble everything individually, we are happy to customize certain elements of your garment to match your proportions perfectly. We can gladly accommodate the following adjustments:
- Lengthening or shortening hemlines and sleeves.
- Deepening or raising necklines.
- Shifting the placement of the waist seam.
Please note: Because our artisans follow strict foundational sewing patterns, not all architectural structural changes are possible. Customized items are subject to our standard Shipping & Alteration terms.
