For the most accurate fit, measure directly against your body while wearing lightweight clothing. Keep the tape measure level and comfortably snug, without pulling tight.

1. BUST

Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back.

Tip: Stand naturally with arms relaxed at your sides.

2. WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of your natural waist. This is typically just above your belly button.

Tip: Bend slightly to one side — the crease that forms is your natural waistline.

3. SEAT

Measure around the fullest part of your seat (hips and buttocks). Keep the tape level and ensure it sits across the widest point.

Tip: It can help to measure in front of a mirror to ensure the tape stays straight.

How to measure - Bust, Waist, Seat

BREECHES

Designed with sculpting compression for the ultimate flattering fit. Our Breeches are designed to work like shapewear—offering a supportive fit from a slim, high-waisted design. If you are between sizes, that means your measurements fall into different sizes, we recommend selecting the size that best accommodates your seat measurement. For Breeches, use your seat measurement as your primary guide. If your waist and seat measurements fall into different sizes, we recommend selecting the size that best accommodates your seat measurement.

TOPS

For tops, use your bust measurement as your primary guide. If your measurements fall between sizes, consider how you prefer your garments to fit — fitted or slightly more relaxed, and select size accordingly.

Is it slightly expensive for

"Is it slightly expensive for a sweatshirt? Yes. Is the quality amazing? Yes. Is everything to do with horses expensive? Yes. However it is honestly one of the nicest sweaters I have purchased.
