How to Measure Your Bicep (Upper Arm) Circumference
With muscles relaxed, measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. Keep the tape snug with room for one finger.

Wrap the measuring tape around your wrist bone, where a watch would sit. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Leave room for one finger between the tape and your wrist for comfort

Below is every measurement we may ask for. You do not have to get each number perfect: we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, so the fit is confirmed on your body first.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

Description
The End of the Search for the Perfect Black Shirt
This is the wardrobe staple, perfected. The one piece every woman needs, elevated from a simple basic to a masterpiece of fit and fabric. We’ve taken the timeless black shirt and engineered it with superior twill cotton and the precision of custom tailoring, creating your new go-to for any occasion.
The Luxury of Premium Twill Cotton
A perfect shirt begins with a superior fabric. This piece is crafted from a high-quality cotton chosen for its feel, look, and performance.
- 100% Twill Cotton: This premium cotton is woven in a twill construction, which gives it a beautiful, subtle diagonal texture, a slight luster, and makes it naturally more durable and wrinkle-resistant than plain-weave cotton.
- A Palette of 8 Essential Colors: While classic black is the cornerstone, you can choose from a versatile range of 8 shades, including navy, burgundy, and royal purple.
Engineered for a Flawless Silhouette
This isn’t just a black shirt; it’s a study in smart tailoring, designed to create a sharp, complementary silhouette.
- The Power of Bespoke Darts: The secret to a perfect, gap-free fit. Long, vertical darts on the front and back create a beautifully contoured, slimming fit that follows your natural curves without pulling or bunching.
- Sharp, Classic Details: A timeless business collar and a clean French front placket provide a polished, professional look suitable for any setting.
- The Versatile Curved Hem: A “curved” or shirttail hem is slightly longer in the front and back, making it look equally chic worn tucked in or left untucked for a more relaxed style.
The Secret to a Perfect Fit: Your Free Test Shirt
A fitted shirt must fit perfectly to be flattering. We eliminate the risk of gaping at the bust or a boxy waist by sending you a free test shirt first.
- Receive Your Test Garment: We mail you a test shirt made in cotton to your exact initial measurements.
- Confirm the Fit: This is your chance to perfect the fit through the bust and waist, ensuring the darts provide the perfect sculpted look without being restrictive.
- We Craft Your Masterpiece: We apply your feedback to tailor the final twill cotton shirt for a silhouette that feels personally made for you.
The test shirt is yours to keep.

For ultimate convenience, this shirt is machine washable.

Shirt Fit Guide
Women’s Shirt Fit Guide
A shirt’s fit defines how it flatters your frame, moves with your body, and layers under tailored pieces. Your test garment will reflect how close or relaxed the fit feels, helping you select the silhouette that best suits your shape and personal style.
Slim Fit
Tailored and contoured through the torso and sleeves. The shirt is slim through the shoulders, chest, and waist. Narrower sleeves with higher armholes.
Best for: A lean frame or those who prefer a sharply tailored, body-contouring look.
Standard Fit
Gently shaped at the waist for a flattering silhouette. Offers a comfortable, natural fit through the shoulders and chest. Sleeves are moderately tapered with standard armhole height for ease of movement.
Best for: An average build or those who prefer a classic, comfortable silhouette with room for natural movement and versatile layering.
Relaxed Fit
A more generous cut throughout the body and sleeves for added comfort. The shirt provides extra room in the shoulders, chest, and waist. Sleeves are fuller with lower armholes for all-day comfort and unrestricted movement.
Best for: Those who prefer a looser silhouette or require extra room through the chest, waist, or arms. Ideal for casual styling or easy movement throughout the day.
Women’s Shirt Fit Guide
The Shirt That Finally Fits, With No Guesswork
If you have ever stood in a fitting room watching a shirt gape between the buttons, or bought one that fit your shoulders but strained across the bust, you already know why women’s shirts are so hard to get right off the rack. They are cut to an average body, and almost no one is average. A custom-made shirt removes the gamble completely: there are no standard sizes, we cut it to your measurements, and before we cut your final cloth we send you a free test garment so the fit is proven on your body first. This page is here to answer the worries that come with ordering a shirt you cannot try on in a store yet.
How It Should Sit
The fit checkpoints, so you know what “right” looks like
Bust
The most common worry, and the one we fix. The shirt closes smoothly across the bust with no gap or strain between the buttons, because it is shaped and cut to your bust measurement rather than an average.
Shoulders & collar
The shoulder seam sits at the edge of your shoulder, and the collar closes comfortably with room for a finger, so it never chokes or gapes.
Waist
Gently shaped through the waist for a tailored line that tucks in cleanly, or left easier if you prefer to wear it loose, your choice.
Sleeve & length
The sleeve ends at your wrist bone and the hem is cut to tuck in or wear out, whichever you tell us, so it is never too long or too short.
Every shirt is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, and a free test garment confirms the bust, shoulders, and sleeve on your body before your final cloth is cut. The test garment is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
My shirts always gape at the bust, it is embarrassing. Will this actually be different?
Yes, and it is the single most common reason women come to us. Bust gape happens because ready-to-wear is cut for an average bust-to-shoulder ratio that probably is not yours. We shape the shirt with darts and cut it to your real bust measurement, so it closes smoothly with no gap and no strain. If the free test garment shows even a hint of pull, we correct it before the final shirt is made, so you never have to send back a shirt that gapes again.
I have never ordered a shirt I could not try on first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. After you send your measurements, we make a free test shirt in a stand-in cotton to those numbers and post it to you. You put it on, check the bust, shoulders, and sleeves, and send us your notes and a couple of photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished shirt is not a leap of faith, it is a fit you have already approved.
I am nervous I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to be perfect. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help with the tricky ones, and if you are unsure you can simply send your best numbers. The whole point of the free test garment is to catch any small error before it matters, we see the fit on your body and adjust, so an imperfect first measurement is completely normal and nothing to worry about.
I have always struggled to find shirts that fit my shape. Is custom-made really for someone like me?
It is made for exactly you. The women who struggle most with off-the-rack, a fuller bust, broad or narrow shoulders, a long or short torso, a small waist with a fuller bust, are the ones who benefit most, because we cut to your proportions instead of forcing you into a size. There is no shape that is wrong here; there are only your measurements.
What if the shirt arrives and something still is not quite right?
That is what the test garment stage is designed to prevent, because the final shirt is cut to the exact fit you already approved. In the rare case something needs a tweak, the finished shirt is made with seam allowances so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right.
A silk blouse worries me, I do not want it clinging or gaping.
A well-cut silk blouse should drape and skim, not cling, and that comes down to the fit through the bust and shoulders, which we tailor to you. Because silk is unforgiving of a poor fit, a custom-made shirt actually matters more here, not less, and the test garment lets you confirm the drape before we cut into the silk.
It feels like a lot to spend on a single shirt made just for me. What is my safety net?
Your safety net is that nothing final, and nothing expensive, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment. You are not paying for a gamble; you are paying for a shirt whose fit you have already seen and signed off on your own body. And because a custom-made shirt in good cloth lasts for years and always fits, the cost per wear is usually far lower than the ill-fitting shirts that end up unworn.
What if my size changes over time?
Your finished shirt is made with seam allowances, so a local tailor can take it in or let it out at the sides within reason if your shape shifts. And whenever you want another, we already have your fit on record, so reordering is simple.
