Size guide

International sizing runs smaller than Ghanaian ready-to-wear, usually by one size, sometimes two on structured pieces. Measure yourself once, tell us the numbers, and we'll pick for you.

Last updated 3 September 2026

How to measure

  • Bust: around the fullest part of your chest, tape level under your arms, bra on.
  • Waist: the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel. Don't hold your breath.
  • Hip: the fullest part of your seat and thighs, feet together.
  • Keep the tape snug but not tight. You should be able to slide one finger under it.

Measurements can vary by 1–2cm between units of the same size. To convert to inches, divide by 2.54.

Between two sizes?

  • Structured and boned pieces (corsets, tailored blazers, non-stretch woven): size up.
  • Ribbed knit, jersey and mesh: take your usual size; four-way stretch is forgiving.
  • Satin slips and bias cuts: take your hip measurement as the deciding number, not your bust.
  • Shirt dresses and oversized shirts: stay at your usual size; they're cut generously already.
