French sizing. 36 is an AU 8, 38 an AU 10, 40 an AU 12, 42 an AU 14. A guide.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

The sleeves are lined in tulle. Volume on that scale collapses without something light holding it out from inside, so the balloon keeps its shape through the evening.

The cloth is a lurex jacquard, 90% metallic and 10% viscose. The metallic yarn is woven through the jacquard on the loom, which is where the wet-look shine comes from and why it changes as you move. Over it sits a placed print, set on each pattern piece so the design lands in the same place on every blouse.

Everything else is held back. A discreet button placket, wide cuffs, nothing more. The sleeves get away with their size for that reason. It is an evening piece and does not pretend to be anything else. The Jerry jacket we carry is cut from a lurex jacquard of the same composition, short and quilted. The Jump trousers take the shimmer to the floor.

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.

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.
