You are not quite sure, which size you should order or how large or small the pieces of clothing by Ana Alcazar will turn out? – Our size advisor will help!

How do I find out my size?

In order to find out your right clothes size for Ana Alcazar, please measure your chest-, waist- and hip size with a measuring tape (in centimetres).

How to measure your size correctly:

Measure when wearing light clothes (e.g. underwear) und place the measuring tape rather close around your body without constricting.


  • Shoulders: Size up your back at its widest point from shoulder to shoulder
  • Chest/Breast: Size up your chest at its widest point right under your armpit
  • Waist: Size up your waist at its narrowest point
  • Hips: Size up your waist at its widest point

How large or small does fashion by Ana Alcazar eventually turn out?

Two main characteristics of fashion by Ana Alcazar are their modern fit and their feminine close-fit cuts. Ana Alcazar always works with tested and standardised sizes exclusively. If you want to be absolutely sure that the Ana Alcazar piece you’ve picked will eventually fit, you should still take another look at the measures of the individual collection piece.

Generally, you can find the detailed product measures next to every product, on the right. Just click on „Clothing Measurements“: 

The matching measure chart for the selected product will open as a pop-up screen:


 

Your advantage:
You can get a concise overview of how your fancied piece will eventually turn out and compare it with your own measures.
 
Please note:
The measure charts for the individual pieces of clothing quotes fabric measures, not body measures. In order to get a reliable result, the lying piece of clothing is measured at four different spots (see image). The fit depends on the fabric: pieces of clothing with jersey, cotton stretch or fabrics containing elastane are stretchy and leave a little more room (a couple of centimetres), whereas pieces of clothing made from silk or strong lace are mostly 100% accurate. If a piece turns out to be a lot larger or smaller, this is especially indicated in the product description.

What suits me?

Pear, hourglass or rectangular? X, H or V? The various different cuts are as varied as the many different terms for women’s shapes.
