Size guide
All measurements are body measurements in centimetres, not garment measurements. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one for fitted styles (peplum tops, blazers) and your usual size for relaxed styles (kaftans, wrap dresses, agbada).

Unisex sizes
Unisex pieces (bomber jackets, oversized tees) use men's chest sizes. Women usually choose one size down from their usual size for a closer fit.
Agbada and kaftans
Agbada and grand boubou are cut generously and sized by chest; the outer robe is meant to drape. If you want a slimmer look, choose your usual size rather than going up. Sokoto (trousers) in a set match the size of the set.
One-size items
Gele, ipele, head wraps and most accessories are one size. A gele is about 2 metres long and can be tied to fit any head.
How to measure

- Waist: around the narrowest part of your natural waist.
- Hips: around the fullest part of the hips, feet together.
