One of the things that makes Alembika unique is that our sizing is a little more fluid. What we mean by that is that it’s not rigid and can actually cover a range of sizes and accommodate various body shapes. It’s an attitude! In general, not about an exact fit. Alembika styles are mostly oversized and loose so if you prefer it to be more fitted, you may want to size down. To help you find the perfect fit, we have updated our size chart to include body measurements and garment measurements.
WHY IS THIS IS IMPORTANT? Each garment style is measured individually because things such as fabric can affect the size (for example: a trapeze top in a stretchy jersey knit versus a trapeze top in a fabric with no stretch). It’s important to pay attention to the detail of each garment because every style (even if it’s the same shape) might run differently or have different measurements because of the different fabrics used.
You’ll notice that Alembika has 2 size ranges shown and there is a difference between the two.
The XS - XL styles are oversized in nature. They are more of an attitude than fit. For example, Alembika’s XS (US 6-8) may also fit a shopper who is normally an American size 8-10. Our clothing is designed to be loose and flowing, however, many customers discover that they would prefer a size smaller to minimize the oversized-look.

Important note: Guest Designers tend to run a little smaller. If you are unsure, it’s best to go up a size in their styles.
