How to measure

Four numbers, one tape

Use a soft tape over light clothing or directly on skin. Stand relaxed, breathe normally, keep the tape snug — never tight.

  1. 01

    Bust / Chest

    Measure around the fullest part, keeping the tape level under the arms and parallel to the floor.

  2. 02

    Natural waist

    The narrowest point of your torso, usually just above the navel. Don't suck in.

  3. 03

    Hip

    Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your seat.

  4. 04

    Inseam

    From the inside top of your leg to the floor with shoes off. Use a pair of trousers you love as a reference.

From the atelier

Fit notes worth knowing

Between sizes?

Our knits and outerwear cut generously — size down for a cleaner line. Tailoring runs true; pick the size that matches your bust or chest.

Pre-washed denim

All Nerva denim is rinsed at the atelier. Expect ≤1 cm relaxation in the waist after the first wear, no further shrinkage.

Footwear

Italian-made shoes follow EU sizing. Half sizes are not produced — when in doubt, size up and use the included felt insole.

Still between sizes?
