NWEC Size Guide
How to measure
- Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms.
- Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (by the collar) down to the bottom hem of the garment.
- Width (flat chest): Lay the garment flat, measure from one armpit seam to the other. Double that for approximate chest circumference.

Additional Tips / Notes
- Allow for tolerance: garment sizes can vary ± 1‑2 cm (or ~½″) depending on batch / fabric.
- If you like an oversized / relaxed fit, consider going one size up.
- Compare with a garment you already own that fits well—measure it flat and compare with the chart.
