Do your clothes run true to size?Updated 2 months ago
Yes! Almond Muse garments are designed to run true to size, based on European sizing standards. We’ve worked closely with our pattern makers and fit models to ensure consistency across all dresses. However, fabric composition, structure, and style details can influence how a garment fits on different body types.
This article will help you understand what “true to size” means in our context and how to make the best decision when shopping.
What does “true to size” mean at Almond Muse?
When we say our pieces are “true to size,” we mean:
The fit aligns with our Size Guide measurements
Most customers who order their usual size report a flattering and comfortable fit
Our sizing is consistent across all dresses, regardless of collection or fabric
A size Small (S) in one dress will fit the same in another, unless otherwise noted.
Where to find sizing information
Every product page includes:
A link to the Size Guide
Fit notes in the description (e.g. fitted bodice, flared skirt, flexible straps)
Details about closures (zippers, elastic, ties, etc.) that may affect fit
When might a style feel different?
Some styles may feel tighter or looser depending on:
Fabric: Stretchy materials (like jersey) offer more give than structured satins or jacquards.
Silhouette: Fitted dresses may contour the body, while A-line or wrap dresses offer more flexibility.
Design elements: Lacing, cutouts, or pleats may subtly affect how a piece fits and moves.
We highlight any such details in each product’s “Fit & Fabric” section.
Real-world example
“I usually wear a size Medium. The ‘Malu Midi Dress’ dress in M fit me perfectly. Snug at the waist and flowing at the hips. It felt like it was made for my shape.”
