The Fit

The Art of a Perfect Fit

Three measurements, taken gently, are all we need to find your size.

Atelier sizing detail

Our pieces are cut to European atelier proportions — close to the body, made to flatter rather than to swamp. The guide below will help you find your size with confidence. When you are between measurements, or simply unsure, our Concierge is always glad to advise.

01

How to Measure

Take your measurements in soft underwear, with a tape held level and snug but never tight. Stand relaxed and breathe normally — it is easiest with a little help.

Understanding Our Sizes

Our bras and bra sets follow the European band-and-cup system, shown alongside the closest North American equivalent — for example, 75B (34B). The number is your underbust band; the letter is your cup.

Our apparel — bodysuits, briefs, garter belts, robes and sleepwear — is sized XS to L, cut to European proportions. If you usually wear a North American size, you may find our pieces run one step closer to the body; when in doubt, size up for ease.

A Note on Fit

A well-fitting bra sits level around the body, the band doing the work rather than the straps. If the band rides up at the back or the cup gapes, the fit is not yet right.

With silk and lace, remember that natural fabrics give a little with wear and soften to the body.

05

Between Two Sizes?

If your measurements fall between two sizes, let the piece decide. For structured bras and bodysuits, size up for comfort. For silk slips and robes that fall softly, the smaller size will give a closer, more elegant line.

06

The Concierge Fitting

Send us your measurements and the piece you have in mind, and we will recommend your size privately — as a fitting room would, without the mirror.

Bien vêtue, on se sent soi-même.

Well dressed, one feels most oneself.
