at calm amongst the chaos we size our clothes

for a relaxed and comfortable fit.

therefore the silhouette we create is the shape of the clothes rather than the shape of the body beneath. this way our styles have a more universal fit and longevity if the body of the wearer changes.

To make ordering easier we recommend  you take these measurements of yourself to gauge how our garments might fit:  

Notebook 8 (dragged).jpg

Forearm circumference
to determine the fit of a sleeve. Bend your arm and measure around the largest point below the elbow. 

Waist 
Stand normally and measure around yourself at the midpoint between chest and hip. 

Hip
Remove bulky clothing and standing normally measure around yourself at the top of your thighs. 

Outside leg
to determine the length of trousers. Measure from your waist down the outside leg to the finished hem measurement. If however, you don't wear your trousers on your waist please take that into consideration when ordering. 

Calf circumference
to determine the fit of a trouser leg. Bend your leg and measure around the largest point below the knee. This measurement is especially important for harem trousers.

Dropped Crotch
Measure from the center waist down as far as the listing states. It may seem like a long measurement but this is how it is designed to be.

Overall and sleeve length
Standing up straight measure from where your collarbones meet down the center of your body or arm as far as the listing states. This will determine where the length will sit on your body.
