Size Guide

All measurements are in inches. Where a supplier publishes body measurements, measure yourself rather than a garment you already own. Where a supplier only publishes garment measurements, we say so and you should compare against a piece you already have.

The fit note on each product page tells you which way to go if you land between sizes.

All-over-print pieces — body measurements

These six share one size block: Racerback Bra, High Rise Legging, High Rise Capri, Lace Crop, Lace Booty Short and Long Sleeve Crop.

Size Chest Underbust Waist Hips
XS 33 ⅛ 27 ½ 25 ¼ 35 ½
S 34 ⅝ 29 ⅛ 26 ¾ 37
M 36 ¼ 30 ¾ 28 ⅜ 38 ⅝
L 39 ⅜ 33 ½ 31 ½ 41 ¾
XL 42 ½ 36 ¼ 34 ⅝ 44 ⅞
2XL 45 ⅝ 39 37 ¾ —

Underbust applies to the Racerback Bra. Hips apply to the bottoms. The bottoms and the Lace Crop run XS–XL; the Racerback Bra and Long Sleeve Crop go to 2XL.

Between sizes? On the High Rise Legging, High Rise Capri and Lace Booty Short, size down — they are compressive by design. On the Long Sleeve Crop, size up — it runs tight. The Racerback Bra and Lace Crop are true to size.

Noir Collective — garment measurements

The Seamless Scoop Bra, Seamless High Rise Legging and Cropped Half Zip Windbreaker publish flat-garment measurements rather than body measurements. Lay a piece you already own flat and compare. These may vary by up to 2″.

Seamless Scoop Bra

Size Length Chest, flat
XS 7.9 25.6
S 8.3 27.6
M 8.7 29.5
L 9.1 31.5
XL 9.4 33.5
2XL 9.8 35.4

Length runs from the top of the shoulder strap to the bottom of the under-bust band.

Seamless High Rise Legging

Size Inseam Waistband, flat
XS 24 20.8
S 24.5 22.8
M 24.8 24.8
L 25.2 26.8
XL 25.5 28.8
2XL 26 30.8

Waistband is measured flat across the top edge, so it sits well under your body waist — the fabric is a heavy four-way stretch.

Cropped Half Zip Windbreaker

Size Length Chest, half flat Sleeve
XS 19 ¼ 22 28 ¾
S 20 23 29 ½
M 20 ¾ 24 30 ¼

2XL 23 27 32 ½

Cut relaxed and cropped. Take your normal size.
