Size Guide — MAISON AMÉVIE
At MAISON AMÉVIE, fit is not an afterthought, it is an architectural decision. Our pieces are cut to specific silhouette standards. The following guide exists to ensure that the garment you receive performs exactly as designed.
How to Measure
Use a soft measuring tape. Measure directly against the body, over light underwear. Do not hold the tape taut, allow it to sit flush without tension. All measurements below are in centimetres.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest point of the natural waist, typically 2–3 cm above the navel.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips, approximately 20 cm below the natural waist.

Fit Notes by Category
Blazers & Jackets, Cassandre, Noémie, Elviane
Cassandre & Elviane: Fit true to size. The structured construction is engineered for a precise, authoritative line. If you are between sizes, size up to preserve the integrity of the shoulder seam and lapel. This is not a blazer that benefits from excess room, it is one that rewards precision.
Noémie: Designed with intentional volume. Order your standard size for the full sculptural effect. Sizing up creates a more architectural, deliberately oversized silhouette.
Dresses, Isaline & Others
Our dresses fit true to size. The structured waist is cut for a precise fit, not elasticated. We recommend measuring your natural waist before ordering. When between sizes, order your smaller size for the intended silhouette.
Blouses & Tops, Nocturne, Éviane & Others
Designed with intentional volume. Order your standard size for the full, sculptural effect as designed by the house. Sizing up produces an even more architectural result, deliberate, never accidental.
