Your measurements

All values in centimetres. Round up for in-between values.

Without shoes, back to the wall, book flat on your head, mark and measure from the floor.

Optional — helps the atelier check your measurements.

From the lowest neck vertebra (stands out when you bow your head) straight down to the desired hem.

Horizontally around the fullest part, under the arms and across the shoulder blades.

Horizontally around the fullest part of the stomach, usually at navel level; do not pull in.

From the base of the neck along the shoulder to the outer shoulder point.

Across the back at shoulder-blade height, armpit to armpit, full width.

Across the front above the bust, at the armpit creases, armpit to armpit, full width.

Wearing a bra: from where neck meets shoulder, down the front to the bust point.

Around the base of the neck, snug, no finger underneath — we add the allowance.

Arm relaxed: from the outer shoulder point down the outside of the arm to the wrist bone.

05Frequently asked questions

Can I order the gown without taking measurements?

Yes. Our standard gowns are available in sizes S to XXL. Simply choose the size based on your height from the size chart.

When do I need individual measurements?

For premium gowns and made-to-measure robes (e.g. doctoral or professorial gowns) we tailor to your exact measurements. In that case, please submit your individual measurements using the form above.

What should I do for in-between sizes?

Always choose the next size up. A slightly roomier gown looks more elegant than one that is too tight.

How precise do the measurements need to be?

An accuracy of ±1 cm is perfectly sufficient. Important: do not measure over thick clothing and stand up straight.
