Size Guide

Finding the right size at Kikavaro is about understanding how our garments are measured and comparing those details to your own body. Because our collection includes a wide range of styles—from structured lace dresses to loose, flowing kaftans—fit can vary significantly from one item to the next. This guide will help you measure accurately and interpret the size charts found on individual product pages.

Understanding Our Size Charts

Each product page includes a specific size chart with measurements in inches. These figures represent the finished garment dimensions, not your body measurements. For example, if a dress has a bust measurement of 34 inches, it means the garment itself has that circumference, which may fit differently depending on the fabric's stretch and the cut of the design.

Always check the specific size chart for the item you are interested in. Do not assume that a Medium in one style will fit the same way as a Medium in another.

How to Measure Yourself

To determine your body measurements, use a soft measuring tape. Keep the tape snug against your skin but not tight, and ensure it remains parallel to the floor. Stand naturally without pulling in your stomach or holding your breath.

  • Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, typically across the nipple line.
  • Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button.
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, typically about 8 inches below your waist.
  • Length: For dresses and kimonos, note the length from the shoulder or neckline down to the hem to understand where the garment will fall on your body.

Choosing Your Size

Once you have your body measurements, compare them to the finished garment measurements on the product page. Consider the style of the piece:

  • Structured or Slim Fits: Items like the Asymmetric Ruffle Lace Maxi Dress often have less ease. If you are between sizes, you may need to size up for comfort.
  • Relaxed or Oversized Fits: Pieces like the Bohemian Chevron Fringe Maxi Kaftan or the Kimono Cardigan are designed to drape loosely. These often accommodate a wider range of body shapes, and you can typically stick to your usual size for a flowing look.

Remember that manual measurements may vary by 0.4–1.2 inches due to the nature of the fabric and construction.
