Find Your Perfect Fit
We know every style fits differently, which is why each Cavoelle garment has its own specific size chart located on its product page. Please refer to the chart provided on the specific product page when making your selection to ensure the best fit.
Sizing Guidance
-
Between Sizes? When in doubt, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
-
Returns are Free: If it’s not the perfect fit, remember that returns are always free.
How to Measure
To find your best fit, use a soft measuring tape and measure against your body:
-
Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
-
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline.
-
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, about 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) below your natural waist.
Fit Tips by Style
-
Dresses & Sets: We recommend sizing based on your bust measurement. Our relaxed silhouettes are designed to accommodate various body shapes.
-
Smocked Bodice Dresses: The elastic smocking provides extra stretch and is especially forgiving across sizes.
-
Linen Pants: If you’re between sizes, we suggest sizing up. Our elastic and drawstring waists offer additional flexibility for your comfort.
-
Tunic Tops: These are designed with a relaxed fit—size down if you prefer a closer, more tailored look.

Is different. The smocked elastic waist lays flat against your body — no pinching, no bulk, no zipper pressing into your stomach. The wide leg drapes soft and easy, just past the knee. Two real pockets. Soft, breathable fabric that moves with you.
Slip them on. That's it. Ready to wear from the second the package opens.

Sizing Guide: We recommend sizing up one size, since the fabric has a soft drape and Asian-origin sizing runs slightly small for US bodies.

Frequently asked questions
Are these see-through in sunlight?
No. The fabric is opaque enough to wear without a slip, even in direct sun. We tested in 85°F outdoor light.
How does the smocked waist fit if I'm between sizes?
Size down for a snugger waist fit, size up for a fully relaxed sit. The smocking stretches about 4 inches, so most women fit comfortably in their usual size.
Will the drawstring stay tied?
Yes. The drawstring is anchored at two points inside the waistband, so it doesn't slip out in the wash or untie itself during the day.
Can I wear these to dinner, or just casual?
Both. Pair with a tank for the beach, or a tucked-in linen blouse and sandals for dinner out. The neutral colors carry it.
