How to Measure
To ensure the most accurate fit when shopping online, we recommend taking your measurements carefully. Please note that all ASCENO garments are measured laying flat to provide the most consistent sizing across our collections. For the most precise results, we suggest comparing these measurements to a well-fitting item you already own.
- Centre-Back Length: This measurement is taken from the nape of the neck, following the spine straight down to the hem of the garment. This is essential for determining the drape and coverage of dresses and longer tops.
- Shoulder Width: Measure the distance from one shoulder seam to the opposite shoulder seam. This ensures the garment sits correctly on your frame without pulling or drooping.
- Chest Width: Measure across the chest from one underarm seam to the other, directly across the widest part of the bust. This is a critical measurement for ensuring comfort in fitted or structured tops.
- Sleeve Length: This measurement begins at the top of the shoulder seam and extends down the arm to the top of your thumb. This helps in determining if a sleeve will sit at the wrist or provide a more cropped, contemporary look.

Sizing Tips
- Stay True to Size: ASCENO styles are intentionally designed with a relaxed aesthetic and intended to be worn with ease; therefore, we generally recommend staying true to your standard size. Check Individual Product Pages: For the most accurate fit, always refer to the individual product descriptions, as specific garment measurements are provided for every item.
- Consider the Drape: Because our pieces often feature a more relaxed silhouette, if you prefer a more structured or fitted look, you may wish to size down, whereas a more oversized look can be achieved by sizing up.
- Measure Flat: When comparing our size guide to your own clothing, always ensure your reference garments are laid completely flat on a hard surface to avoid measurement errors caused by fabric bunching.
- Consult our Concierge: If you are uncertain about which size to select, our dedicated Concierge Team is available via WhatsApp or email to provide personalised sizing advice and assistance.
- Review Care Labels: Always check the care label on your ASCENO pieces after purchase; maintaining the integrity of the fabric is key to preserving the intended fit and shape of the garment over time.
- Note the Measurements: When measuring your chest or waist, ensure the tape measure is snug but not tight, as this will provide the most accurate representation of how the fabric will sit against your body.
