What should I do if I am between sizes?Updated 6 months ago

Being between sizes is more common than you think! Here’s how to navigate the in-between and find your perfect fit at KOBOMO:

Decide What Feels Best:

• Prefer a relaxed, comfy look? Opt for the larger size for a more flowy and forgiving fit.
• Want something more fitted? Go with the smaller size for a neat silhouette.

Check the Fabric and Style:

• Stretchy fabrics (e.g., bamboo blends, spandex-infused cotton): These fabrics tend to have some give and adapt well to your shape, so choosing the smaller size might still give you a comfortable fit. For example, our bamboo tees, pants and skirts stretch beautifully and can fit snugly for layering without feeling restrictive.
• Woven or structured fabrics (e.g., linens, classic rayons): These have less flexibility and can feel restrictive if too small. In these cases, sizing up is usually the better choice for ease of movement and a more flattering drape. You'll need to check your measurement against the measurment we've made for each size online here.
• Flowy styles (e.g., kaftans, tunics): Many of our designs are meant to be roomy and relaxed. Even if you size down, you’re unlikely to lose the breezy, flowy aesthetic.

Dive Into the Product Page Details:

We don’t leave you guessing when it comes to our garments. Check out the sizing tips, fit details, and model references included in each product description. We often provide measurements like bust, waist, length, and any unique design details to help you decide.

• Look for notes like "true to size," "size up for a looser fit," or specific comments on the stretch or cut of the fabric.
• Pay attention to the model references—we include the model’s height, size, and sometimes specific measurements so you can compare it to your own.
