Sizing

We follow Australian standard sizing, but add certain magical fairy-dust changes for the tall figure.  If you’re used to buying a size bigger than you need, to get extra height, please don’t do that when shopping in this store: it’s custom built for you!   Measure your bust, waist and hip and compare them to the table below.

There are two different size ranges, one for stretch fabrics (1-4) and one for non-stretch (8-18). If your size is not listed below, please get in touch (anne@sarahvainandtall): if there is demand, smaller and larger sizes may be added in time.

For more information on fit, have a read of these FAQ.

If you would like help with fitting, you can talk directly to me and I promise to get back to you within 24 hours — often sooner — with advice.  You won’t be speaking with a phone monkey, but with the company founder.   Bonus!
