Sizing Guide
Size & Fit Guide
At Eclettica, we curate clothing from a variety of Canadian and European designers, and sizing can vary significantly between brands — and sometimes even between different styles from the same designer.
Because of this, our size chart is intended as a general body-size reference only, rather than a guarantee of how every garment will fit.
We personally assess the fit of our pieces and include additional Fit & Sizing information within individual product descriptions whenever possible. We recommend checking the product-specific fit notes before choosing your size.

European Size Conversion
European sizing can vary considerably by designer, so these conversions should also be used as a general reference.

Italian-made clothing in particular may be labelled differently depending on the designer and intended fit. Whenever we feel a piece runs smaller, larger or differently than expected, we will note this in the individual product description.
One Size & Combined Sizing
Many of our European collections use flexible sizing such as:
One Size
S/M
M/L
L/XL
These garments are often designed with stretch, draping, relaxed silhouettes or oversized cuts and may comfortably fit a wider range of body sizes than the label suggests.
When possible, we will provide an approximate Canadian size range in the product description.
For example:
One Size — best suited to approximately sizes 6–14.
or
S/M — approximately sizes 4–10.
These ranges will vary by garment.
Understanding Our Fit Notes
Look for our Fit & Sizing section on individual products.
We may describe the fit as:
Slim Fit — designed to sit close to the body.
True to Size — generally fits as expected for the labelled size.
Relaxed Fit — provides additional room through the body.
Oversized Fit — intentionally designed with a loose, generous silhouette.
We may also indicate the amount of stretch:
No Stretch
Slight Stretch
Moderate Stretch
High Stretch
And where helpful, we will include our recommendation:
Take your usual size.
Size down if you prefer a closer fit.
Size up if you prefer additional room.
If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up/down.
How We Measure Garments
When garment measurements are provided, they are taken with the item laid flat unless otherwise stated.
Bust: measured from armpit to armpit and doubled.
Waist: measured across the waist and doubled.
Hip: measured across the fullest part of the hip and doubled.
Length: measured from the shoulder to the hem.
For pants:
Waist: measured across the waistband and doubled.
Rise: measured from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband.
Inseam: measured from the crotch seam to the bottom hem.
Please allow for small variations due to fabric, stretch and garment construction.
Still Unsure?
We know online sizing can be tricky, especially when shopping across different designers and countries.
If you’re unsure about a particular piece, please contact us. We’re happy to help with fit, measurements and sizing recommendations before you order.
At Eclettica, personal service doesn’t stop just because you’re shopping online.
