Measurement and Conversion Charts

How To Choose The Size of Garment(For Your Reference)

There are two ways sizes are listed on the website and you can tell by the name of the measurement chart.
Garment Measurements(Measurements of the Garment) and Body Measurements(recommended body bust&waist measurements that will fit the size). Most sizes are listed as Garment Measurements.

If there's no measurement chart or sizes listed in description, it means that item has to be custom made based on your body measurements(like Surface Spell Gothic and Rose Melody items).

1) When listed as Garment Measurements:
For dresses without back shirring, your bust and waist measurements usually have to be 4-6cm smaller than the listed bust and waist measurements for comfort. 4cm would usually be a perfect fit. But it is NOT recommended to have over 6cm room as it might be baggy.

For dresses with back shirring, you can choose the size that corresponds with your bust and waist measurements. The listed bust and waist measurements are measurements without stretching the back shirring.
If there's a range of the listed bust and waist measurements, the smaller end is the bust/waist without stretching the back shirring, the larger end is after the shirring stretched. Your bust and waist measurements cannot be near or on the the larger end as it may be tight fitting.

For blouses, your bust and waist measurements usually have to be 4-6cm smaller than the listed bust and waist measurements for comfort. 4cm would be a perfect fit.

2) When listed as Body Measurements:
For dresses and blouses of which the measurement chart says "Body Measurements", this means the bust and waist measurements in the chart are the recommended bust and waist measurements for the corresponding size.

This is just for your reference. If you're experienced with measurements, you can choose the size your usual way. Some designs are made to be loose fitting, and the actual Garment Measurements may a little larger than the listed Garment Measurements.

Custom House shoes are available in 65 colours(PU Colour Swatches / Calfskin Leather Colour Swatches). Please measure your feet carefully, and match up with the Centimetres conversion(foot length/Japanese size) as it is the best indicator of what will fit you. (i.e. If your foot length/Japanese size is 23.5cm, then size 38 will fit you, and there's already extra room for comfort.)
