Size Guide

The Shell Maxi Dress

Size	Bust	Waist	Hip	Centre front length	Hem sweep
6	84	76	92	121.5	139
8	89	81	97	123	144
10	94	86	102	124.5	149
12	99	91	107	126	154
14	104	96	112	127.5	159

Because these are garment measurements, they already include room to move. Measure your own bust, waist and hip, then choose the size whose garment measurement is 5–8cm larger than yours. As a guide, our size 8 suits an Australian 8.

The Shell Maxi is a floor-length A-line slip. At 123cm from the centre front neckline to the hem in a size 8, it will sit at or near the floor on most heights.

Between sizes? Size down. The A-line cut is forgiving through the waist and hip.

The Love Shell Tee

An oversized tee with a dropped shoulder. All measurements are of the finished garment, laid flat, in centimetres.

Measurement	XS	S	M
Body length	65	67.5	70
Chest (flat, half)	51.5	53.5	55.5
Chest (all round)	103	107	111
Shoulder width	55.5	57.5	59.5
Sleeve length	18	19	20
Sleeve opening	18.4	19	19.6
Hem width (flat)	51	53	55
Collar opening	15	15.5	16

This tee runs generously oversized. The chest measures 103cm all round even in an XS, and the shoulder seam is designed to sit well down the arm. If you want a relaxed, slouchy fit, take your usual size. If you would rather it sat closer to the body, take a size down.

To check the fit at home, lay a t-shirt you already love flat, measure it armpit to armpit, and double that number. Compare it to the ‘chest, all round’ row above.

Please allow a tolerance of 0.5–2cm, as these are hand-finished garments.
