  When ordering tops, dresses, swimwear etc.
  Ensure you choose the right size, simply measure around the fullest part of your bust. It can be a little difficult to measure yourself accurately so always ask someone to help.
   
  When ordering skirts and trousers
  Measure around the fullest part of the hip to discover the size you need as above. For inside leg measurement: lay your best-fitting pair of trousers flat and measure from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle.

  Skirt, dress and coat lengths depending on your height
  With most ranges we offer 3 lengths STANDARD, SHORTER, AND LONGER. Shorter - 5' 3" (approx height), Standard - 5' 5" (approx height), Longer - 5' 7" (approx height). This is only a guide and you may be outside of these heights. For example the guide shows that if you are looking for a knee length skirt, length 23" will be correct if you are 5' 3", if you are 5' 5" you will need 24", and you will need 25" if you are 5' 7".
