Sizing chart
Our pieces are handmade in India by skilled artisans — which means each jacket has its own personality and a fit that feels a little different from anything you'd find on a high street rack. Here's how to find your perfect Colourstory size.
How to measure yourself
You'll need a soft measuring tape. Measure against your body, not your clothing, and keep the tape parallel to the ground.
Bust — wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level across your back.
Waist — measure around your natural waistline, the narrowest point of your torso, usually about 2–3cm above your belly button.
Hips — measure around the fullest part of your hips, approximately 20cm below your waist.

A note on fit
Our jackets are designed with a relaxed, easy fit — made to be thrown on and lived in. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a more fitted look, or sizing up if you love that oversized, layered feel.
Because every piece is handmade, there may be slight variations between garments — this is part of their charm and the nature of handcrafted clothing. Each measurement above is a guide only.
