By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | fitted blouse and corset-top shapes rather than relaxed; often sheer lace or structured bodice | Size up if you are between sizes or fuller in the bust, as bodices and lace panels have minimal give. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly small | tends to sit close through the hip and waist | Consider sizing up if you are curvier through the hip, as the waist is drafted small. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | slim, body-skimming knit tops rather than boxy | Expect a short, close-fitting cut — size up if you want normal coverage at the waist. |
| Jackets | slightly small | short, fitted and structured rather than oversized | Size up if you plan to layer, since sleeves and shoulders are cut narrow. |
