Size Guide
Real measurements, real talk. Kothlis sizes from S to 4X (5X on select styles) across our apparel, so there's something here for you. If you're between sizes, our golden rule: size up for comfort, stay true for structure.
How to measure yourself
Grab a soft measuring tape and wear lightweight clothing. Stand naturally — don't suck in.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level.
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist (usually just above your belly button).
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, about 8–10 inches below your waist.
- Inseam: Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle.
Misses Sizing (S – XL)
| Size | US | Bust (in) | Waist (in) | Hips (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 4 – 6 | 34 – 35 | 26 – 27 | 36 – 37 |
| M | 8 – 10 | 36 – 37 | 28 – 29 | 38 – 39 |
| L | 12 – 14 | 38 – 40 | 30 – 32 | 40 – 42 |
| XL | 16 – 18 | 41 – 43 | 33 – 35 | 43 – 45 |
| 2XL | 20 – 22 | 44 – 46 | 36 – 38 | 46 – 48 |
Plus Sizing (1X – 4X, 5X on select styles)
Our plus-size pieces are graded specifically for curves — not scaled up from straight-size patterns. That means proportional armholes, generous hip room, and necklines that sit right.
| Size | US | Bust (in) | Waist (in) | Hips (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1X | 14W – 16W | 44 – 46 | 36 – 38 | 46 – 48 |
| 2X | 18W – 20W | 47 – 49 | 39 – 41 | 49 – 51 |
| 3X | 22W – 24W | 50 – 52 | 42 – 44 | 52 – 54 |
| 4X | 26W – 28W | 53 – 55 | 45 – 47 | 55 – 57 |
| 5X (select styles) | 30W – 32W | 56 – 58 | 48 – 50 | 58 – 60 |
