Size Guide

All measurements below are given in centimetres (cm). Every piece is designed true to size, so these figures are a reliable guide when choosing what to order.

If you have any questions about measurements or fit, email us at atelier@ateliergaude.com. We're always happy to help you find the right size.

How to measure yourself

Use a soft tape measure and keep it snug against your body, not pulled tight. It helps to measure over close-fitting clothing, or directly against your skin.

  • Bust/chest: measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape horizontal all the way round.
  • Waist: measure around your natural waistline, the narrowest point of your torso, usually just above the belly button.
  • Hip: measure around the fullest part of your hips, roughly 20cm below your natural waist.
  • Shoulder width: measure straight across your back, from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, where a shoulder seam would sit.
  • Sleeve length: with your arm slightly bent, measure from the top of your shoulder to your wrist bone.
  • Garment length: measure from the top of the shoulder (for tops and dresses) or the top of the waistband (for skirts and shorts) straight down to where you'd like the item to end.

Tip: compare to something you already own

If you have a piece of clothing that fits you well, for example a blazer, lay it flat on a table and measure it the same way: shoulder to shoulder, underarm to hem, and so on. Compare those measurements to the size guide below to help you choose the best size. This works for any item, not just blazers.
