Size & fit guide
UK, EU and US conversions, body measurements, and how each piece actually fits — because they do not all run the same. Measure once here and you can order with confidence from anywhere in the country.

These are body measurements, not garment measurements. Measure over a thin top, keep the tape level, and do not pull it tight.
How to measure
- Bust — around the fullest part, tape level under the arms.
- Waist — the narrowest point, usually just above the navel.
- Hip — around the fullest part, roughly 20 cm below the waist.
- Inside leg — from the crotch seam to where you want the hem to sit, in the shoes you will wear.
Where two sizes apply — a UK 12 bust and a UK 14 hip, for example — take the larger one. A piece that is slightly roomy can be worn straight away; one that is tight cannot.
How each piece runs
- Kololo Tailored Blazer — true to size, close in the shoulder.
- The double-breasted blazer — generous across the back. Take your normal size.
- Nakasero Longline Blazer — relaxed. Size down if you want it closer.
- Weekday Sheath Dress — runs small across the bust. Most customers take one size up.
- Cobalt Wrap Dress — ties, so it covers two sizes.
- Classic Pencil Skirt — true to size, sits at the natural waist.
- Satin Midi Skirt — elasticated back waist, so it is forgiving. True to size.
Tops and knitwear
| Size | UK equivalent | Bust (cm) | Waist (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | UK 8–10 | 82–89 | 64–71 |
| M | UK 10–12 | 86–94 | 68–76 |
| L | UK 12–14 | 90–100 | 72–82 |
| XL | UK 14–16 | 95–106 | 77–88 |
| XXL | UK 16–18 | 101–113 | 83–95 |
Shirts and blouses sit close, so they layer flat under a blazer. If you want room over a camisole, take one size up. The fine knit is meant to be snug — that is what stops it bunching at the shoulder under a jacket.
Trouser and skirt lengths
Trousers and maxi lengths are cut long so they can be taken up to suit your heel height. Tell us how tall you are and what you plan to wear them with when you order, and we will say which length to take.
Ordering from outside Kampala
We deliver countrywide, so most orders are sized from the tables above rather than in a fitting room. Two things make that reliable:
- Send us your bust, waist and hip in centimetres and we will confirm the size before anything ships.
- Order two sizes if you are between. Pay the rider only for the one you keep.
Delivery is arranged on WhatsApp once the order is confirmed, and the rider is paid on arrival.
