Size & Fit
Âme Dare does not work from a single standardised size chart. Each piece is developed around its own proportions — the way a shoulder is set, how a collar falls, where a sleeve breaks. A garment is shaped by its silhouette, not fitted into a system.
The chart below reflects the body measurements our jackets and coats are drafted from. It is a starting point. Exact garment measurements for every piece are listed in its product page, under Size Guide.
Body Measurements
Outerwear and tailored jackets. Measurements refer to the body, in centimetres.
| Bust | Waist | Hips | Shoulders | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 87–93 | 64–70 | 94–100 | 40.5–41.5 |
| M | 93–99 | 70–76 | 100–106 | 41.5–42.5 |
| L | 99–105 | 76–82 | 106–112 | 42.5–43.5 |
Approximate equivalents: S — EU 36 / US 4 · M — EU 38 / US 6 · L — EU 40 / US 8
Understanding the Fit
Our outerwear is drafted with a layer in mind. The shoulder sits intentionally slightly dropped, and the volume through the body allows a knit beneath without disturbing the line.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, the decision belongs to how you intend to wear the piece.
Choosing the smaller size gives a closer, more defined silhouette — but a heavy knit underneath will sit tightly. Choosing the larger size leaves room for thicker layers and a softer, more relaxed line.
Neither is more correct. It is a question of the presence you want the garment to have.
One Size Pieces
Some silhouettes are developed as one size. Their proportions are resolved as a whole rather than graded, and the guidance above does not apply to them. Full measurements are listed in each product page.
Length
Where a height is indicated — 167 cm and above — it refers to length only, not to proportion. The garment is drafted to fall a particular way at that height.
If you are shorter, the piece can be shortened by a tailor of your choosing. We recommend it be done by someone experienced with the fabric. Alterations are arranged and covered by you; we do not carry them out.
How to Measure
Measure over light clothing, with the tape level and close to the body but never tight.
Bust — around the fullest part.
Waist — at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel.
Hips — around the fullest part, roughly 20 cm below the waist.
Shoulders — from one shoulder point to the other, across the back.
