A common question our customers ask is, “Is ElleSilk sleepwear true to size, or does it run big or small?” The truth is, there’s no need to worry about sizes being too large or too small. Our sizing is thoughtfully designed to offer the ideal balance of comfort and fit for different styles. Let us guide you through ElleSilk’s sizing system so you can confidently find the perfect silk sleepwear tailored to you.
What Makes ElleSilk’s Size Chart Unique?
The first thing to understand is that ElleSilk’s sleepwear size chart is based on “body measurements”—not garment measurements. This means that instead of reflecting the finished dimensions of the clothing, our size chart uses your actual body measurements as a guide.
Simply measure your bust, waist, and hips, and match them to the size chart. There’s no need to size up or down, as our designs already account for the ideal fit for each style.
This approach ensures our sleepwear fits perfectly while prioritizing comfort and freedom of movement—essentials for a great night’s sleep.
How to Choose the Right Size for Different Styles
ElleSilk offers a variety of sleepwear styles, and each has specific fit considerations. Here’s how they differ:
1. Relaxed Styles: Pajamas and Robes
For relaxed styles like silk pajama sets and robes, the garments are designed to be approximately 10cm (about 4 inches) wider than your bust measurement. This extra space ensures the fit feels airy and unrestricted, allowing you to move freely while sleeping or lounging.
- Pro Tip: Simply follow the size chart. There’s no need to size up for these styles.
2. Fitted Styles: Slips and Nightgowns
Fitted styles, such as silk slips and nightgowns, are designed to be slightly snug but not restrictive. These garments are typically 1-2cm (about 0.4-0.8 inches) larger than your bust measurement to create a flattering silhouette without compromising on comfort.
- Pro Tip: Again, follow the size chart—our designs already account for the fitted nature of these styles.
So, Does ElleSilk Sleepwear Run Big or Small?
The answer is: Neither! ElleSilk’s sizing is meticulously calibrated to match body measurements, ensuring that each style fits as intended.
Common sizing “rules of thumb,” like buying a size larger for relaxed fits or a size smaller for fitted styles, don’t apply here. Our size chart is your best guide. All you need to do is measure yourself accurately, and you’ll find the right size effortlessly.
How to Use ElleSilk’s Size Chart
Here’s a simple three-step process to find your perfect fit:
- Measure Your Body
- Use a soft measuring tape to measure your bust, waist, and hips.
- Keep your body relaxed—don’t pull the tape too tightly or hold your breath.
- Match Your Measurements to the Size Chart
- Locate your measurements on our size chart to find your corresponding size.
- Choose the Roomier Option if Between Sizes
- If your measurements fall between two sizes, opt for the larger size. Comfort is key for sleepwear.
Common Sizing Misconceptions
- Misconception 1: Relaxed styles look too oversized
Our relaxed styles are designed to provide ample room for movement. Even with an additional 10cm at the bust, the garments are carefully tailored to look elegant, not bulky. - Misconception 2: Fitted styles will feel too tight
Fitted styles are designed to follow your body’s natural curves while maintaining a small amount of breathing room. The slight extra space ensures you feel comfortable, not restricted.
