Mes Demoiselles house sizing. 0 is an AU 6 to 8, 1 an AU 10 to 12, 2 an AU 14 to 16. A guide.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

Cotton on its own goes flat and silk on its own goes shiny. The Frubus is 85% cotton and 15% silk, which gives the cloth the body of a shirting and the fall of something finer.

That body is what holds the shape. The cut is long and slightly flared, the back a little lower than the front, with long sleeves. A short run of buttons at the side opens a vent as far as you choose. Done up, it is a shirt. Undone, it moves like a dress.

Worn long over a slim trouser it covers the hip and the flare does the rest. The Olia is the straighter alternative we carry, in fluid viscose with high slits held by a buttoned placket. The Frubus has more structure and keeps it.

More information View images

Mes Demoiselles is a Paris house and labels its pieces in one of two ways: in French sizes, 34 to 44, or in its own sizes 0, 1 and 2, each of which covers two French sizes. Australian sizes are the same as UK sizes, so read across to the UK column of the house chart. A French 36 is an AU 8 and a French 38 an AU 10. A house 0 is an AU 6 to 8, a 1 an AU 10 to 12 and a 2 an AU 14 to 16. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Size chart

House	French	AU / UK	US	Italy	Chest	Waist	Hip
0	34	6	2	38	79 to 82	60 to 63	87 to 90
0	36	8	4	40	83 to 86	64 to 66	91 to 94
1	38	10	6	42	87 to 90	67 to 70	95 to 98
1	40	12	8	44	91 to 94	71 to 74	99 to 102
2	42	14	10	46	95 to 98	75 to 78	103 to 106
2	44	16	12	48	99 to 102	79 to 82	107 to 110

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements. The French column is the size on most labels; pieces in house sizes are labelled 0, 1 or 2.

Choosing between two sizes

Mes Demoiselles publishes one chart for every style and no separate fit advice, so read your size from your measurements. A French number is two below the Australian one: a French 38 is an AU 10. Where a piece comes in house sizes, each covers two French sizes, so a 1 takes in both an AU 10 and an AU 12. Any style we know to run differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Chest: around the widest point of the chest and shoulder blades, arms hanging by your sides.
Waist: around the narrowest part of the waist, the tape snug but not tight.
Hip: around the widest point of the hips.

Caring for Mes Demoiselles

The care label sewn into each piece is the authority. On the house's cotton dresses it reads: hand wash only, do not tumble dry, iron gently.

Still not sure
