Size

Two things decide your size: how tall you are, and your build.

Start with your height

Measure without shoes, standing against a wall. Find your height in the table below and read across to your build.

Then your build

Build is not one measurement — nobody is only wide at the bust or only at the hip — so we use the dress size you already wear, which accounts for all of it at once.

Small buildUK 8–12
One size down from your height.
Medium buildUK 14–18
The size your height gives.
Large buildUK 20+
One size up from your height.

Every size we cut

Every size, the height it is cut for, and the size to take for a small, medium or large build.

The price shown is for the middle size in that row. If your build takes you up or down a size, find that size on its own row to see what it costs. Sizes are not measurements — a 54 is a size, not fifty-four inches.

If she is between sizes, or still growing

Every skirt is cut with a two-inch hem turned up inside it. Let it down and you have the next size — a 40 becomes a 42. That is how the Kanadian has always been made.

How the turn-down hem adds a sizeA cross-section of the skirt. As it hangs, the bottom two inches are folded up inside and stitched, so the cloth is doubled there. Let that stitching out and the fold drops: a 40 becomes a 42.

If you fall outside it

We cut sizes 36 to 60 and nothing beyond either end. If the table sends you off it, write to us before you order and we will tell you what we can do.
