Affogato Pleather Strap Velvet Shorts

As you know, our weight can fluctuate quite a bit, so it is important to measure for your current size and not what you think is estimated to fit. This is the only way we can ensure there will be no size issues as the charts provided on all product pages are measured by hand and accurate. 

Below is our general size chart that we follow, though slimmer-fitting and looser-fitting styles may measure differently due to design differences. We recommend using this size chart as a frame of reference to help you better understand where you fall in between all our available sizes from Small to Extra-Large. 

The measurement of your chest/bust is used for clothing articles such as our tops and dresses. To ensure you are measuring your bust correctly, take one end of your measuring tape and wrap it around the fullest part of your chest while making sure that the tape is still parallel to the floor. The tape should go under our arm and back out to meet the tip. It is more accurate to measure based on this method than to go by your bra size. As you know, the cup size does not indicate a consistent sizing as the band can differ per person. As a result, we recommend you use this measurement to gauge if a shirt or dress is a good fit. When asking for help on what size would best fit you, please indicate your chest size thought inches/cm and not bra size. 

The measurement of your waist is used for clothing articles such as our tops, dresses and pants. To find an accurate measurement of your waist, we recommend targeting your ‘natural waist’. This is also known as the narrowest part of your waist. This is typically around the area that is below your rib cages but above your belly button. When measuring your waist, please ensure that you are breathing out when you take down the number. This will help with a more accurate reading as it measures the maximum width you need.  

The measurement of your hip is used for clothing articles such as our bottoms and dresses. To get an accurate measurement for your hips, you will have to stand upright first and foremost. Keep your legs together and take one end of the measuring tape and place it on where you think is the fullest part of your hips. Make sure the measuring take is parallel to the floor and goes over your buttocks. Going over your hip bones, you will now meet the measuring tape back to where it started. This measurement can be tricky when done alone, so we recommend asking a friend to help if this makes it easier for you!
