Our Sizing

We belive the perfect fit is so important to extending longevity to our clothing and can be the diferrence between simply wearing and love wearing our clothes. For this reason we have developed this comprehensive page with guidelines for how to take your own measurements and have provided a hand table of measurements Lovelorn July uses when designing our garments sizing range to be able to best match you with our sizing.

Please note, if you are in between sizes, we would recommend in most cases going up to the larger size for ease and comfort.

How to Take Your Measurements

To ensure the most accurate fit, we recommend measuring your body while wearing light clothing or lingerie. Keep the tape measure parallel to the floor and comfortably snug—never tight.

1. Above Bust Circumference

What it is:

The measurement around your upper chest, just above the fullest part of your bust.

How to measure:

Stand tall with your shoulders relaxed.
Place the tape around your body just under your arms and above your bust.
Make sure the tape sits straight across your back.
Breathe normally and record the number where the tape meets.

2. Bust Circumference

What it is:

The measurement around the fullest part of your bust.

How to measure:

Wrap the tape around the fullest point of your bust.
Keep the tape resting softly against your body—not compressing.
Check that it’s level all the way around.
Record your measurement with relaxed posture.

3. Waist Circumference

What it is:

Your natural waist—the narrowest part of your torso.

How to measure:

Bend side-to-side to find the crease; this is your natural waistline.
Wrap the tape around this point.
Keep the tape comfortably firm, but not tight.
Stand normally and record the measurement.

4. Hip Circumference

What it is:

The measurement around the fullest part of your hips and bottom.

How to measure:

Place feet together.
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your lower body (usually 18–23 cm below your waist).
Keep the tape level and parallel to the floor.
Record the widest point.

Tips for Accurate Measuring

Use a soft measuring tape.
Measure in front of a mirror to ensure the tape stays straight.
Take each measurement twice for accuracy.
If you fall between two sizes, choose the size that best suits your fit preference or the garment’s intended silhouette.
For fitted or non-stretch styles, we recommend choosing the size that matches your largest measurement.
