Ladies Shirt Size Guide

"If the shirt fits, wear it!"

"Probably 95% of women that I speak to ask me about the fit around the bust. There are many shirts available on the high street that are too tight in this area. Katherine Partis shirts, although not too top heavy, have been specifically designed to fit real women and therefore have a good amount of room around the bust area. To help you, I have included a size guide by bra size (see below)."

How to take your measurements

Note: This guide is based on maximum measurements to fit each size. If your measurements are between two recommended sizes, it is advised that you choose the larger size. An allowance has already been made in these measurements for wearing ease.

If you get it wrong or are unhappy with the shirt for any reason, Katherine Partis operates a free returns and exchange service.

Bust: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest. The tape should be over the shoulder blades at the back, making a horizontal circle.

Waist: Measure around your natural waistline. The tape measure should be horizontal. Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hips.

Bicep: Measure the widest part of your upper arm. The fabric on the shirts around the arm is generous to allow flexibility when wearing.

Shoulder to Wrist: Measure from the part where the shoulder begins to slope down to the wrist joint. The arm should be slightly angled.

Shoulder Width: You may need some help with this. Measure across the outside edge of your shoulders, but not down the arm.

Centre Back Neck-Hem: You may need some help with this too. The measurements above are from the most prominent bone at the base of the neck, down the middle of the back, down to where a Katherine Partis hem will finish.

Bra Size: This is based on two measurements, bust and below the bust and is meant as a quick reference guide. However, the detailed measurements in the other tables will be more accurate. Before using the Bra Size Guide, it is a good idea to double check your actual bra size.

 

Mens Shirt Size Guide

Whilst all of the men's shirts are sizes by the collar measurement (UK: inches, Europe: cms), it is helpful to also have the other body measurments.

Please note that this guide is based on maximum measurements to fit each size. If your measurements are between two recommended sizes, it is advised that you choose the larger size. An allowance has already been made in these measurements for wearing ease.
