Sizing guide

Josephine silhouettes are considered through proportion, so the intended fit varies from style to style. Many pieces have ease through the body rather than a close fit.

Use the measurements below alongside the fit information on each product page to find the size and proportion that feels right for you.

HOW JOSEPHINE FITS

Many Josephine pieces are designed with ease through the body rather than a close, tailored fit. This creates the relaxed, effortless silhouette the brand is known for.

Depending on the style, garments are sized as:

Runs Small
Designed to sit closer to the body while still allowing comfortable movement.

True To Size
Designed with comfortable room through the body and sleeves.

Oversized Fit
Intentionally cut with extra volume to create a looser silhouette.


If you prefer a neater fit, you may prefer the smaller of your usual sizes. If you enjoy a more relaxed/oversized silhouette, your usual size will typically provide the intended look.

Sizing Guide

How to Measure

  1. Bust Circumference: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with your arms down.
  2. Waist Circumference: Measure around the narrowest point of your natural waistline.
  3. Hip Circumference: Measure around the widest part of your natural hipline.
  4. Shoulder Width: Measure from your shoulder tip to shoulder tip.
  5. Inside Leg: Measure from top of your inside leg (at crotch) to your ankle.
  6. Outer Leg: Measure from the waist to your ankle at the outer leg.

Please note: This measurement guide may vary depending on where the garment sits on the body, whether higher on the waist or lower on the hip. Please consider this as a general measurement guide.

Choosing Between Sizes

If you are between sizes, these tips may help:

Choose the smaller size if:

• you prefer a neater fit
• the garment is designed oversized
• the fabric has natural stretch

Choose the larger size if:

• you prefer a relaxed silhouette
• you are between measurements
• you plan to layer garments
