Two patterns on one shirt usually fight. On the Olia a tie and dye sits under a check fine enough to read as texture, so the lavender does the work and the check only shows up close.

It is 100% viscose, cut long and straight and a little longer at the back. High vents at the sides are finished with a buttoned placket. Viscose this fluid lets the length hang straight, where a cotton shirt of the same cut would stand away from the body.

The Osiris cargo trousers carry a tie and dye check of their own in the same lavender. Together they make the full print. Over dark jeans the shirt stands alone. The Frubus is the long shirt we carry with more body, in cotton and silk.

Fit. Relaxed. True to size. 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.

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.
