Finding Your Perfect Dress Size
Finding the right dress size doesn't have to be stressful. At Zalinae, we offer sizes XS through XXL and believe every woman deserves clothing that fits beautifully. This guide will help you find your ideal size and understand how our garments are designed to fit.
How to Take Your Measurements
For the most accurate sizing, you'll need a soft measuring tape. Measure yourself in underwear or form-fitting clothing:
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest part, typically 1 inch above your belly button).
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, about 7–9 inches below your waist.

Between Sizes? Here's What We Recommend
If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider the following:
- Fitted/bodycon styles: Size up for a comfortable fit that still looks flattering.
- Flowy/wrap styles: Size down — these styles naturally accommodate a range of body shapes.
- Midi and maxi dresses: Follow your bust measurement primarily, as these silhouettes are more forgiving through the hip.
Understanding Our Fit
Zalinae dresses are designed with a European/UK fit in mind, which tends to be slightly more tailored than US sizing. We recommend checking individual product descriptions for any specific notes on fit (e.g., "runs true to size" or "size up if between sizes").
