Find your piece
A short ritual rather than a tape measure. Read these notes once; they will hold for years.
On choosing the right size
Our pieces are drafted on a fit block built from 240 real bodies, not a single dress form. Most clients sit between two sizes on a conventional brand and find a single Nuit Velours size fits both. If you've measured before, your familiar number will likely work. If you haven't, the table below will guide you.
When in doubt, size up for slips and bodysuits; size down for soft-cup bralettes. Pieces in Chantilly lace have a generous stretch and forgive the in-between.
Size chart
All measurements in centimetres. Take measurements over bare skin or thin underclothes, holding the tape level all the way around.
| Size | Bust | Underbust | Waist | Hips |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 78–82 | 66–70 | 60–64 | 84–88 |
| S | 82–86 | 70–74 | 64–68 | 88–92 |
| M | 86–90 | 74–78 | 68–72 | 92–96 |
| L | 90–94 | 78–82 | 72–76 | 96–100 |
| XL | 94–98 | 82–86 | 76–82 | 100–106 |
How to measure
- iBust
Measure across the fullest part of the bust, with the tape level all the way around: front, sides, and back at the same height.
- iiUnderbust
Measure directly under the bust, where a bra band would sit. Snug but not tight, parallel to the floor.
- iiiWaist
Find the natural waist (the narrowest point above the hip bone) and measure there. Don't suck in.
- ivHips
Stand with feet together. Measure across the fullest part of the seat, holding the tape parallel to the floor.
