Finding Your Perfect Fit
Every Mary Benson piece is designed to be lived in and loved for years to come. Garments are created with ease, movement and timelessness in mind, so they feel as though they have always belonged in your wardrobe.
Our size guides are based on body measurements, which we think would be the best fit for each size.
Our collections are designed in two distinct silhouettes:
Fitted Bodice Styles
Featuring a concealed zip and shaped to sit closer to the body, such as the Elizabeth, Gatsby and Margot.
Relaxed Bodice Styles
Designed without a zip for an effortless, flowing fit, such as the Zelda, Erte and Juliet.
Styles with gathered skirts are intentionally generous in volume and movement. Their fullness is part of the design, allowing the skirt to drape beautifully across our full size range without requiring detailed skirt measurements. Our fitted skirts are not too close fitted either, they still have approximately 15cm ease, making them not too close fitted like a pencil skirt.
Choosing Your Size
Every body tells its own story, and no two are ever quite the same. This guide is here to help you find the size that will feel most at home on you. The measurements below are your body measurements, rather than the finished garment itself, as each piece is made with a little ease for comfort and movement. Simply match your bust and waist to the guide below. Hip measurements are only needed for fitted skirts, as our gathered skirts are full enough to fall freely. If you find yourself between sizes, or would simply like a little guidance, send us your measurements and we'll happily help you choose the size that's right for you.
As each piece is made especially for you, we kindly ask that you take a moment to check your measurements carefully before ordering. Mary creates each garment according to our standard size guide and does not offer bespoke sizing or alterations, so the size selected at checkout will be the size your garment is lovingly made in.
If you're between sizes or would simply like a little guidance, we'd be delighted to help. Please do get in touch before ordering and we'll happily advise you on choosing the size that will feel most comfortable and complimentary for you.
