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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Scarlett & Jo sizes true to size?

Yes. Our garments are designed specifically for curves and are true to our size chart above. We use proprietary Advanced Fit Technology® to ensure our dresses flatter and support without the need to size up. We recommend taking your measurements and comparing them to the chart above for the most accurate fit.

What sizes do you stock?

We cater exclusively for curves, stocking US sizes 8 through to 28 (UK sizes 12–32).

What do the paired size labels mean (e.g., 14/16 or 18/20)?

Some of our styles use a dual-size label. This means the garment is designed to fit both sizes comfortably. Check your measurements against the chart above — if your measurements fall between two sizes, a paired-size style will work well for you. To find your US equivalent, refer to the Size Conversion Chart at the top of this page.

Do you offer exchanges if the size isn't right?

[PLACEHOLDER — US Returns & Exchanges process to be confirmed. Update this section with your US returns portal link and process before publishing.]

Do you offer petite sizing?

Yes. Scarlett & Jo has an extensive range of standard fit dresses alongside a Curvy Petite collection. Petite styles are cut specifically for shorter frames, with proportions adjusted throughout the garment rather than simply hemmed shorter. Not all styles are available in petite — browse the Curvy Petite collection to see the full range.

Where can I find length information for a specific dress?

The exact length for every dress is listed on its individual product page. If you need help deciding between standard and petite, our Curvy Petite Guide has detailed fitting advice, or you can contact us and we will be happy to help.
