How to Measure

For the most accurate fit, take your measurements before ordering.

  • Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape measure horizontal and parallel to the floor.
  • Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest part of your torso), keeping the tape comfortably loose.
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, approximately 8 inches (20 cm) below your waistline.

Petite vs Standard

Scarlett & Jo has an extensive range of standard fit dresses alongside a Curvy Petite collection. Petite styles are cut specifically for shorter frames — proportions are adjusted throughout the garment, not simply hemmed shorter. The exact length for each style is listed on the individual product page.

Browse our Curvy Petite collection or read the Curvy Petite Guide for more fitting advice.
