Please see additional size and fit information on each garment description as sizes may vary between makers.
Fits may vary by style or personal preference; sizes may vary by manufacturer. Depending on the characteristics of the fabrics used, there could be a sizing variation of ½ inch. Most Filipiniana garments have no stretch in the fabrics. Size up if you'd like a fit with more ease.
MEASURING TIPS
• Wear similar undergarments (bra, camisole, slip, thin undershirt) as you would wear under the blouse/dress/barong while measuring.
• Have a friend or partner take the measurements (or a local tailor!)
• Keep the measuring tape snug but not tight, with the tape parallel to the floor for hip, waist, and chest measurements.
