Let us guide you through ElleSilk\u2019s sizing system so you can confidently find the perfect silk sleepwear tailored to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Makes ElleSilk\u2019s Size Chart Unique?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing to understand is that ElleSilk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-sleepwear-size-guide.html\">sleepwear size chart<\/a> is based on \u201cbody measurements\u201d\u2014not 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply measure your bust, waist, and hips, and match them to the size chart. There\u2019s no need to size up or down, as our designs already account for the ideal fit for each style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach ensures our sleepwear fits perfectly while prioritizing comfort and freedom of movement\u2014essentials for a great night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Choose the Right Size for Different Styles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ElleSilk offers a variety of sleepwear styles, and each has specific fit considerations. Here\u2019s how they differ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Relaxed Styles: Pajamas and Robes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For relaxed styles like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-nightwear\/silk-pajamas.html\">silk pajama sets<\/a> and robes, the garments are designed to be approximately <strong>10cm (about 4 inches) wider than your bust measurement<\/strong>. This extra space ensures the fit feels airy and unrestricted, allowing you to move freely while sleeping or lounging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong>: Simply follow the size chart. There\u2019s no need to size up for these styles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Fitted Styles: Slips and Nightgowns<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fitted styles, such as silk slips and nightgowns, are designed to be slightly snug but not restrictive. These garments are typically <strong>1-2cm (about 0.4-0.8 inches) larger than your bust measurement<\/strong> to create a flattering silhouette without compromising on comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong>: Again, follow the size chart\u2014our designs already account for the fitted nature of these styles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-nightwear\/silk-pajamas.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sleepwear-1999-2.jpg\" alt=\"sleepwear\" class=\"wp-image-19810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sleepwear-1999-2.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sleepwear-1999-2-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sleepwear-1999-2-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sleepwear-1999-2-102x60.jpg 102w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So, Does ElleSilk Sleepwear Run Big or Small?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer is: <strong>Neither!<\/strong> ElleSilk\u2019s sizing is meticulously calibrated to match body measurements, ensuring that each style fits as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common sizing \u201crules of thumb,\u201d like buying a size larger for relaxed fits or a size smaller for fitted styles, don\u2019t apply here.
