Size Guide

ADVICE ON FIT

Ahh measurements.  Everybody's favourite! Because our beautiful Planet Retro Originals designs are handmade, each range has small variations in size.  So to ensure you receive styles that are just the kind of fit you like, please take a moment to measure yourself and then use the measurements below as a guide to select the correct garment size for you.

Size guide 

  • Use your exact measurements when selecting your size
  • Keep the tape firm, but not tight
  • Measure over under garment
  • Ask someone to help you take the measurement

DRESS OR SHIRT LENGTH: Run your measuring tape from the back center of the neck to the hem or longest point.

BUST: Measure around the fullest part of your bust and across the shoulder blades.  Note where specified in our charts we have measured from one underarm to the other. 

WAIST: Measure around the natural waistline keeping tape comfortably loose.  Don't breathe in until you go blue.  We know you ate cake.  Be proud.

HIPS: Measure around the fullest part of the seat.

THINGS TO NOTE

We are committed to ensuring that every style corresponds as closely as possible to our Size Charts. Please be aware that certain fabrics may have more give in their makeup than others, for example elastane, lycra, spandex and similar.

Others such as cottons and especially cotton drills with no stretch, will result in more fitted garments. Our size charts are a guide only and garments may vary on occasion by a few centimeters here or there.

Please note many of our garments including PR Originals batwing style tops and cape coats are a one-size-suits-many garment. These are designed to drape well to suit many shapes and sizes.

We may indicate size suitability by providing measurements of the garments themselves where it makes more sense to do so.

If you already own a similar garment to the style you wish to purchase it can be helpful to compare measurements of it to ours to determine a close enough size match. Still unsure?  Drop us a line, we'll be happy to help. Happy shopping!
