GHOSPELL Size Guide
GHOSPELL is a contemporary London-based womenswear brand, celebrated for its sculptural silhouettes, unexpected proportions, and a modern, refined approach to femininity. Drawing inspiration from a street-smart, urban aesthetic, the brand offers pieces that make a definitive statement through clean lines, sharp collars, and deconstructed ruffles. Because GHOSPELL often utilises mid-weight woven fabrics—such as cotton, poplin, and brocade—with little to no stretch, understanding the specific fit of each garment is essential. Whether you are navigating their signature boxy tops or highly tailored midi dresses, this guide is designed to help you find your ideal fit and minimise the need for returns.
How to Measure
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring the measuring tape passes under your arms and remains level across your shoulder blades.
- Natural Waist: Locate your natural waistline and measure around the narrowest part of your torso. For the most accurate result, keep the measuring tape comfortably loose against the skin.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips to ensure the garment accommodates your natural proportions.

Product-Specific Guidance
Shirts & Blouses: GHOSPELL tops are frequently designed with exaggerated shapes, including oversized cuffs, peplums, and ruffled shoulders. While many styles feature a boxy, contemporary fit, please note that shoulder and sleeve openings can run narrow. If you possess broader shoulders or a fuller bust, we recommend sizing up to ensure comfort and mobility.
Dresses & Jumpsuits: Our signature tailored dresses are typically true to size at the bust and waist. However, because these pieces are often crafted from structured fabrics with minimal stretch, and may feature high necklines or concealed zips, they can feel more restrictive. If you find yourself between sizes, we suggest selecting the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Trousers & Skirts: These categories often feature high-waisted, tailored shapes. While generally true to size, the use of woven fabrics means there is very little "give" in the fit. For those with a fuller hip-to-waist ratio, sizing up may be necessary to accommodate the hips without compromising the waist fit.
Outerwear: Coats and jackets are often designed with a structured shoulder and a longer silhouette. Many pieces are intentionally slightly oversized to allow for contemporary styling; however, if you prefer a more fitted, streamlined finish, consider sizing down.
Sizing Tips
- Prioritise Fabric Composition: Most GHOSPRELL garments are made from woven fabrics like cotton, poplin, or brocade, which offer little to no stretch. Always check the fabric details before deciding on a size.
- Consider the Silhouette: Distinguish between "boxy" and "body-conscious" styles in the product description. A boxy fit will feel roomy, whereas a body-conscious style will follow your contours closely.
- Account for Structural Details: High necklines and concealed zips can make a fitted garment feel smaller than usual. If you are concerned about ease of movement, size up.
- Check Shoulder Width: For tops with exaggerated or puffed sleeves, ensure the shoulder seam aligns with your natural shoulder to avoid an overly compressed feeling.
- Use Body Measurements: Do not rely solely on your usual UK or US size. Use the centimetre or inch measurements provided in our charts to compare against your actual body dimensions.
- Evaluate Your Proportions: When shopping for skirts and trousers, consider your hip-to-waist ratio. If you have fuller hips, the lack of stretch in our tailored pieces means the larger size may be more appropriate.
