Sizing
We want your Tinctoria clothing to fit you well, so we’ve come up with some fitting guidelines:
Our pants (even the drawstring ones) are thoughtfully designed to sit comfortably on your hips with a flat front and no unflattering extra fabric around the waist. They fit a wide variety of body types and look great on all of them, they also run a bit on the small side, so it’s worth it to get the size right. If you wear pants size 0-6, try a small, 7-9, a medium, 10-12, a large. XL fits up to a 16. In any size, a little wiggle to get the pants over the widest part of your hips and then sit flat across the abdomen is normal. And we say, "there’s nothing wrong with a little wiggle".
Some fabrics give (stretch) more than others. Our 100% hemp fabric is particularly forgiving, so we suggest that you go with the smallest size that still fits comfortably knowing that you will gain room in the pants in the first hour of wearing them.
Other fabrics stretch less, like the hemp/silk or the hemp/wool blends. You won’t get a lot of extra room in these items as you wear them, so you might want to order accordingly.
Our skirt sizing is easy and generous and the skirts look fabulous on every body. It is not uncommon for customers to wear a smaller size than the pants in our line. If you usually wear up to a size 6, try and extra small or small in our skirt, from 7-9, a small, 10-12, a medium. The large fits up to a 16.
Tinctoria’s tops run true to sizes small, medium, and large. With our stretch tops and accessory items, we sometimes choose to make only two sizes, because the fabric is so forgiving and accommodates so many different body shapes. Tops are designed to flatter your curves without constricting or limiting your mobility. We aim for a smooth fit and maximum comfort.
