Mellazoro uses letter sizing (XS through 3XL) across our dresses, gowns, and outerwear. Each product page is the final authority on how that specific item fits, so the guidance below is meant to help you read those details with confidence—not to replace them.
What You'll Find on a Product Page
Many Mellazoro product pages include a size chart listing body measurement ranges in inches for bust, waist, and hip. These are the measurements of your body that the garment is designed to accommodate, not the flat-lay dimensions of the fabric itself. Some pages also list a garment length, which tells you how far the piece falls from the shoulder or neckline to the hem.
Because fit is not uniform across our catalog, always check the specific product page before ordering. A relaxed maxi dress and a structured corset bodice are designed differently, and the size chart numbers reflect that difference.
Taking Your Measurements
You will need a soft sewing tape measure. Stand in a natural, relaxed posture—do not pull your shoulders back or suck in your stomach. Keep the tape snug against your skin or the thinnest layer you plan to wear underneath, but never so tight that it compresses or twists.
- Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, typically across the nipple line. Keep the tape parallel to the floor all the way around.
- Waist: Find your natural waist—the narrowest point of your torso, usually just above the navel. Let the tape rest there without cinching.
- Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level and parallel to the floor.
If a product page lists a garment length and you want to visualize where it will fall on your body, compare that number to a piece you already own and like. Lay the existing garment flat, measure from the top of the shoulder to the hem, and note the result. This is a comparison method only—do not treat another garment's flat measurements as your body measurements.
Fit Varies by Product
Our catalog spans relaxed jersey dresses, tailored wool-look coats, structured corset gowns, and flowing A-line evening pieces. The same letter size can feel noticeably different from one item to the next. Product descriptions may use terms such as “relaxed fit,” “true to size,” or “structured slim fit” to signal how the garment is intended to sit on the body. Read these notes carefully and consider how you want the item to feel when you wear it.
Some product pages also include specific sizing advice—for example, recommending you size up if you plan to layer thick knitwear underneath a coat, or noting that a structured bodice may benefit from a larger size if you are between two options. Follow the guidance on the page you are purchasing, not a general rule.
If You Are Between Sizes
There is no single answer that applies to every Mellazoro product. Before deciding, look at three things on the product page:
- The fit description (relaxed, structured, true to size)
- Which measurement is most critical for that garment (bust for a corset bodice, hip for a fitted skirt, etc.)
- Your own preference—do you want ease of movement, or a closer silhouette?
If the page offers no explicit between-size guidance, your safest step is to contact us with the details below rather than guessing.
