Size & Fit
Finding the right fit makes all the difference. Use the guide below to measure yourself and choose your size with confidence. If you’re ever unsure, we’re happy to help, just get in touch.
How to Measure
Grab a soft tape measure and measure against your body in your underwear, or measure a garment you already own that fits you well. Keep the tape snug but not tight, and stand relaxed.
- Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.
- Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline.
- Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
- Inseam (for jeans & pants): measure from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle.

Dresses
Our maxi and mini dresses follow the size guide above. Use your bust measurement as the main guide for fitted styles, and your hips for closer-fitting maxi styles.
Jeans & Pants
For bottoms, use your waist and hip measurements from the chart above. Leg lengths are a standard regular length unless stated otherwise on the product page, so check the inseam listed if you prefer a specific length.
Between Two Sizes?
If your measurements fall between two sizes, we’d usually suggest sizing up for a more relaxed, comfortable fit, especially for fitted dresses and structured waistbands.
A Note on Fit
These measurements are intended as a guide. A small variation of around 1–2 cm is normal in clothing production and is not considered a fault. Fit can also vary slightly between styles, so please always check the specific measurements listed on each product page before ordering.
Still Unsure?
If you’re not sure which size to choose, email us at support@caelvi.com with the item and your measurements, and we’ll help you find the right fit. We aim to reply within 24 hours.
