SIZE GUIDE
Size guide with how to measure info
GARMENT MEASUREMENTS
Please note there is an accepted industry tolerance of +/- 20mm difference in measurements - please use this as a guide. Our wonderful makers are humans not robots.
The garment measurements are taken on the flat, from seam to seam. Please double for circumference. They are best used to compare to a similar garment you may have at home. Your body measurements need to fit within the garment measurements.
Fabric + Care
- check garment tag before washing
- we recommend washing inside out with buttons and zips fastened
- use a laundry bag for more delicate fabrics
- wash like fabrics in similar colours together
- we recommend a cold to cool gentle cycle; some fabrics should be handwashed
- reduced spin will reduce the need for ironing and extend the life of your clothes
- please don't use the dryer for your Philosophy pieces
- hang to dry; shape seams, collars and cuffs, and smooth on the hanger
- a gentle cool iron on reverse or gentle steam once completely dry if needed

OUR MODEL SIZING
Our designs are generously cut for curves, for comfort and with room to move. The majority of our fabrics have stretch.
We are cut true to our size guide, for the fit look as shown on our models.
Our size guide measurements are in centimetres - and are body measurements, not garment measurements. The garments will naturally be bigger than the body measurements.
Your recommended size will give you the fit as seen on our models.
Size down if between sizes, or if you prefer a neater fit.
Stay with your usual size in our non-stretch fabrics in more fitted styles.
Size down in our deliberately overscale "boyfriend" fit if you prefer a neater fit.
Go with your biggest measurement if unsure on which size to choose
DESIGN INFORMATION
- We are proud to have 100% of our products made by us from design to despatch in Sydney, Australia. They are produced in a couture method of one machinist, one garment, which helps to ensure consistency.
- Our styles are designed to move and flatter, and adhere to our design philosophy of easy wear, easy care, wear anywhere.
- All of our patterns are created in house, in collaboration with our designer and pattern maker. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail with regards to fit and ensure that each and every style we create has maximum comfort in mind, yet will still fit to perfection.
- Generally, we consider our styles to be on the generous side as almost all of our fabrics offer some kind of mechanical stretch. You can size down comfortably if you are between sizes, or if you prefer a neater fit. Stay with your recommended size in our non-stretch fabric or more fitted styles.
- It is very common to be a mix of sizes through your torso, so you should pick the size you feel will accommodate your measurements the closest and that will depend on the garment.
- Our size guide measurements are body dimensions rather than product specific, so when considering your size, please utilise these as a guide.
MAGIC FIT
- Magic Fit is a sizing tool that works with your measurements, to recommend the best size for you. Created by the team behind Citizen Wolf, and backed by years of fitting and sizing on customers, this innovative tool will make it easier for you to get the right fit the first time. Now that's magic!
- Currently set up for our key Best Sellers styles, and we will be rolling it out to cover more of our styles.
- Magic Fit is super easy to use, and only takes a moment or two. It will ask you for some simple measurements - height, weight, age and bra size.
- Once you've entered these details, it will analyse your data and recommend the best size for you, with feedback on desired fit to help you make the best fit decision for you.

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF CORRECTLY
- When taking your measurements it is helpful to have a friend to assist you, as you must ensure that the tape measure remains level around your body.
- Hold the tape measure close against you, but not tightly.
- Bust - Measure at your personal fullest part
- Waist - Measure just above your belly button, at your natural waistline
- Hips - Measure at your personal widest part, be that at your top hip, low hip or across thighs
