All AECE pieces are measured laying flat using a metal measuring tape, with no stretching or pulling. Simply as they naturally rest.

To find your best fit:

• Compare to a similar item in your closet using the same method.
• Note: Flat measurements don’t account for fabric stretch, drape, or darts, which affect how a garment fits on the body. For example, a top may measure 40cm flat across the bust but fit a model with an 86cm bust comfortably.

That’s why we include model measurements and fit notes, so you can see how each piece sits on a real body. After handling hundreds of vintage garments, we’ve learned how different fabrics and cuts behave. Need help? Email curation@aece.life. We’re happy to guide you!

Our standard model is:

• Height: 164cm (5’4.5”)
• Bust: 92cm (36.2”)
• Waist: 74cm (29.1”)
• Hips: 98cm (38.6”)

Need help? Email curation@aece.life with your measurements, and we’ll advise on sizing!
