SIZE GUIDE & WASH CARE
As you’ve probably already realised, ordering the correct size isn’t always easy! The fit of garments depends a lot on the cut and fabric as well as the styling of the item. Because we want your online shopping experience at Korteza Fashion to be as straightforward as possible, we have devised this easy-to-use measuring guide and size chart to help make sure that you find the perfect fit every time!
Measuring Tips
- Using a measuring tape, measure your body rather than with clothes on top, this will give you a more accurate reading.
- Having difficulty locating your waist? An easy way to find your natural waist it to bend to one side and measure where it creases.
- Want to know if something will fit? We always specify the length of our garments in the ‘details’ tab so the easiest way is to measure an item that you know already fits you and compare the two measurements. - SIMPLES!
Bust
With your arms by your side, measure around fullest part
Natural Waist
For your natural waist measure around the narrowest part of your middle
Hip
Hold your tape around the place where your hips stick out the most - it’ll help you find your perfect fit
