How to order?

1. Provide your body measurements, as shown on our chart.
All measurements must be taken, taking into account any underlayers you may be wearing underneath.
All measures are to be communicated in centimeters.
+15% cost for any XXL or larger body measurements. This additional cost - which is reasonable - is explained by an increased need for raw materials and by longer sewing work.
