Size Guide

Norvessa Size Guide

Find your
best fit.

A considered fit begins with understanding your own measurements and how you prefer clothing to sit on the body. Use this guide as a practical starting point, then review the size options and product-specific details shown on the item you are considering.

Before You Begin

Start with your measurements, not the label.

Fit can vary by silhouette, construction and the way you prefer to wear a piece. Measure over light clothing, keep the measuring tape level and avoid pulling it too tightly. When product-specific measurements are available, compare them with your own measurements and with a similar item you already enjoy wearing.

How to Measure

Four measurements to begin with.

Use a flexible measuring tape and stand naturally. The goal is a comfortable, repeatable measurement rather than an overly tight one.

01

Bust

Measure around the fullest part of the bust while keeping the tape level across the back.

02

Waist

Measure around your natural waist without holding your breath or pulling the tape tightly.

03

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat with the tape staying parallel to the floor.

04

Inseam

Measure from the upper inside leg down to the point where you want the garment length to finish.

Fit Reference

What to compare before choosing.

Rather than relying on a single universal size conversion, compare the details that most directly affect the way each product will fit.

Reference What to Look At Why It Matters Best Practice
Body Measurements Bust, waist, hips, inseam and other measurements relevant to the item. Helps establish your own starting point before comparing product dimensions. Measure consistently and keep the tape comfortably close to the body.
Product Measurements Length, width, rise, sleeve length, shoulder width or other listed dimensions. Shows how the actual garment or accessory is intended to sit or carry. Compare with a similar item you already own and enjoy using.
Silhouette Fitted, relaxed, oversized, straight, cropped or otherwise shaped construction. The same size label can feel different depending on the intended silhouette. Consider whether you want to preserve the intended shape or adjust for preference.
Personal Preference How close, relaxed, long or structured you prefer a piece to feel. Comfort and styling preference are as important as the numeric measurement. Use your preferred fit as the final filter when two options seem suitable.
Size availability and garment dimensions can vary by product. Always review the information shown on the specific product before making your selection.

Choosing the Fit

Let the silhouette guide the decision.

The intended shape of a garment matters. A relaxed knit should not be judged in the same way as a defined dress or structured outer layer. Consider how the piece is designed to fall before deciding whether you want more ease or a closer fit.

01

Fitted silhouettes

Pay particular attention to the body areas where the garment is designed to sit closest.

02

Relaxed silhouettes

Allow for the intended ease rather than assuming additional room automatically means the size is too large.

03

Layering pieces

Consider what you expect to wear underneath when selecting knitwear, jackets or outer layers.

04

Between two options

Compare the product dimensions with a similar piece you already own, then choose according to your preferred amount of ease.

Category Notes

Fit works differently across the wardrobe.

Use the measurements that matter most for the category you are choosing instead of applying one fit rule to every product.

Dresses & Tops

Focus on the upper-body balance.

  • Compare bust and waist measurements first where relevant.
  • Review shoulder and sleeve information when listed.
  • Consider whether the silhouette is fitted, straight or relaxed.
  • Think about the underlayers you expect to wear with the piece.

Bags & Accessories

Think in dimensions and proportion.

  • Review listed width, height and depth when available.
  • Consider how the bag will sit against your own proportions.
  • Check strap or handle information where the product provides it.
  • Compare dimensions with an accessory you already use comfortably.
Your Fit Preference

Measurements are the starting point. Comfort is the final decision.

Two people with similar measurements may still choose different sizes because they prefer different proportions. Think about how you actually like your clothing to feel and move.

Close

A more defined silhouette.

Prioritize the closest relevant measurements and consider how much movement the garment construction allows.

Easy

A balanced everyday fit.

Look for enough room to move naturally while maintaining the intended silhouette of the piece.

Relaxed

More room and softer structure.

Compare garment dimensions carefully so the additional ease feels intentional rather than simply oversized.

Before You Choose

A final four-point check.

Use this quick review before deciding which available option feels most appropriate for you.

01

Measure yourself.

Use current measurements rather than relying entirely on a size you usually buy elsewhere.

02

Review the product.

Check the dimensions, silhouette and any fit information shown on the specific item.

03

Compare a favorite.

Measure a similar piece you already enjoy wearing for a useful real-life point of reference.

04

Choose your ease.

Decide whether you prefer a closer, everyday or more relaxed result before making the final selection.
