Start with the shape you like.
Choose the detail you want your outfit to begin with: the outline of wide-leg pants, the tied-waist look of drawstring pants, the gathered waistband of high-waisted smocked pants, or the long line of a maxi skirt.
These collection names describe different details. A waist style alone does not tell you how much room a garment has through the hips or how long it will be on you.
Make a comparison you can use.
Keep a flexible measuring tape and a well-fitting pair of pants nearby. Follow the measuring method shown in the current product listing so that you compare like with like.
- Waist
- Check whether the size guide asks for a body measurement or a garment measurement. For a body measurement, follow its instructions for where the tape should sit and keep it comfortably level. For a garment comparison, measure a familiar waistband flat only if the listing uses the same method.
- Hips
- For a body measurement, measure around the fullest part of your hips with the tape level. Compare it with the hip guidance for your selected style and size. Do not choose based on the waistband alone.
- Inseam
- On a pair of pants you like, measure along the inside leg from the crotch seam to the hem. Compare this with the listed inseam. Think about the shoes you plan to wear and the amount of length you prefer above them.
- Skirt length
- Measure a favorite skirt from the waistband to the hem using the listing’s method. Notice where you wear the waistband: a higher or lower position changes where the hem lands.
If the listing does not provide a measurement you need, ask through Amazon before ordering. A size letter or a model photograph cannot replace a measurement comparison.
Check the exact style before ordering.
Open the collection on Amazon and choose the color and size you are considering. Read the current size chart and product details for that selection; information can differ between styles or change over time.
If you fall between listed sizes, follow the listing’s own guidance. Avoid assuming that sizing up or down will solve every fit question. Compare both the waist and hips, then consider the length.
Confirm fabric composition, product details, current price, delivery information and the applicable return policy on Amazon before placing an order.
Let the garment label guide care.
These collections are made from 100% rayon. The wide-leg pants, high-waisted smocked pants and maxi skirts are machine washable. Follow your garment’s care label for the wash temperature, cycle and drying instructions. For drawstring pants, follow the garment’s care label for washing, drying and ironing. Check the current Amazon product details if you need care information before ordering.
