Kovelle Size Guide: UK Sizes, Body Measurements and How to Choose

Kovelle sizes are UK sizes. Every product page carries a Size and fit section with body measurements for each size; this is the same chart. Measure your body, not a garment you own, and compare with the table.

How to measure

  • Bust: around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
  • Waist: around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel.
  • Hip: around the fullest part of the hips and bottom, feet together.

Between two sizes

For stretch jersey and rib knit, take the smaller size if your bust and waist match it and only the hip is over. For woven fabrics with no stretch, satin, denim and faux leather, take the larger size. Each product page says which fabric it is and whether it runs true to size.

Returns if it does not fit

Returns are free for 21 days from delivery, so ordering two sizes and sending one back costs nothing. See the size guide page and the returns page.
