Sizing
Our caftans are designed to be effortless and forgiving—think elegant drape with room to move. Use the quick size finder below, then confirm with the simple measurements.
Quick Size Finder (US Dress Size)
| Caftan Size | Equivalent Dress Sizes (US) |
|---|---|
| XS/S | 0–6 |
| M | 8–10 |
| L | 12–14 |
| XL | 16–18 |
If you’re between sizes, choose down for a cleaner, closer look; choose up for extra flow and loungey ease.
Check Your Measurements (Most Helpful = Bust)
Measure your body, not a garment. A soft tape measure is best.
| Caftan Size | Recommended Body Bust | Recommended Body Bust (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| XS/S | 31–35 in | 79–89 cm |
| M | 35–37.5 in | 89–95 cm |
| L | 37.5–40.5 in | 95–103 cm |
| XL | 40.5–44 in | 103–112 cm |
Why bust? Caftans are generous through the waist and hips; bust is the dimension that most affects drape across the chest and shoulders.
How to Measure (60-second guide)
- Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, straight across the back. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- Waist (optional): Measure at your natural waist (where you bend).
- Hips (optional): Around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
- Upper arm (optional): Around the fullest part of your bicep. (Our sleeves are cut generously; this is rarely the limiting factor.)
Tip: Stand naturally, breathe out gently, and keep the tape parallel to the floor.
Fit Notes
- Drape & ease: Our caftans are intentionally relaxed. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, consider sizing down.
- Curvy bust / broad shoulders: If your bust or shoulders are proportionally fuller than your dress size suggests, consider sizing up for the intended flow.
- Pregnancy-friendly: Many customers size up one for bump-friendly ease.
