How to Measure
To find your perfect Sosandar size, you'll need to take accurate body measurements. Please note that these measurements are based on your actual body dimensions, not garment measurements. You'll need a soft measuring tape and should wear minimal clothing or undergarments.
Measure around the fullest part of your bust whilst wearing a well-fitting bra. Keep the tape measure snug but not tight, and ensure it's parallel to the ground.
Measure the narrowest part of your natural waistline. This is typically where you naturally bend to the side. Keep the tape relaxed and level.
Measure the fullest part of your hips, approximately 20cm (8 inches) below your natural waistline. Ensure the tape is parallel to the ground and comfortable.
Measure from your shoulder bone along the top of your arm to your wrist bone. Keep your arm relaxed at your side and the tape measure straight along the arm.
Measure from the top of your inside leg at the crotch down to the floor, keeping your feet together. This measurement is crucial for trousers and jeans fit. Sosandar offers Short (74cm), Regular (79cm), and Long (84cm) inseams.
Measure from the top of your head straight down to the floor when standing with your feet together. This helps determine how garments will hang on your frame, particularly dresses and maxi pieces.

Footwear Size Chart
Sosandar offers a range of footwear including heels, sandals, and flats. The footwear is sized using UK standard sizing. If you find yourself between sizes, Sosandar recommends choosing the size up for comfort and wearability.
| UK Size | EU Size | USA Size | Foot Length (approx. cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 36 | 5 | 22.5 |
| 4 | 37 | 6 | 23.5 |
| 5 | 38 | 7 | 24 |
| 6 | 39 | 8 | 24.5 |
| 7 | 40 | 9 | 25.5 |
| 8 | 41 | 10 | 26.5 |
Between shoe sizes? Sosandar recommends choosing the size up to ensure comfort, particularly for heel styles and closed-toe shoes.
Jeans & Trousers Sizing
Sosandar's jeans and trousers are a wardrobe staple, featuring styles such as the Perfect Skinny Jean and various slim-fit and regular options. All styles are available in Short, Regular, and Long inseams. The brand specialises in stretch denim with excellent recovery, offering comfort without sacrificing fit. Models typically range from 5'4" to 5'9" on the Sosandar website.
When selecting jeans and trousers, pay particular attention to the inseam length. A Regular inseam of 31 inches (79cm) is designed for someone approximately 5'6" tall. If you're significantly taller or shorter, opt for the Long or Short options respectively to ensure the leg length hits your ankle at the correct point.
Sosandar jeans are known for their high-waisted silhouettes, which provide a flattering fit and elongate the leg. The brand uses a blend of cotton, polyester, and elastane for durability and stretch. For example, the Black Perfect Skinny Jeans features 61.5% cotton, 32% polyester, and 6.5% elastane, offering a soft, stretchy fit that's comfortable all day long.
Inseam Measurement Guide for Jeans:
- Short (29"/74cm): Best for heights under 5'4", ensuring jeans hit just at the ankle
- Regular (31"/79cm): Designed for the standard height of 5'6", this is the most popular option
- Long (33"/84cm): Ideal for heights over 5'8", providing full coverage without pooling at the hem
Sizing Tips
- Take Accurate Measurements: Your measurements are the most reliable way to find your perfect size. Use a soft measuring tape, wear minimal clothing, and have someone help you if possible. Update your measurements seasonally, as body composition can change.
- Consider the Inside Leg Length: This is particularly important for trousers and jeans. Sosandar offers three inseam lengths (Short 74cm, Regular 79cm, Long 84cm), so measure your inside leg carefully and choose accordingly. An incorrectly sized inseam can make an otherwise perfect fit unwearable.
- Check Product-Specific Details: Whilst Sosandar sizing is true to UK standard, fit can vary depending on the style and fabric of individual pieces. Always check the product description for model height and size worn, plus any specific fit information. If a dress has a fitted bodice, you may want to size up for comfort.
- Read Customer Reviews: Real customer feedback is invaluable. Check the reviews section on product pages to see how items fit on different body types. Customers often mention whether something runs true to size, comes up small, or is generous in the fit.
- Account for Fabric Composition: Different fabrics behave differently. Sosandar uses a blend of natural and synthetic fibres in most pieces. Stretch denim with elastane will feel more forgiving than 100% polyester, so consider the fabric when deciding on your size.
- Mind the Styling & Occasion: Consider the intended wear when selecting a size. A fitted occasion dress may require a size down from your usual size for a polished look, whilst a casual shift dress may be better sized to your standard measurement for comfort and movement.
- Take Advantage of Free Delivery & Returns: Sosandar offers free UK delivery on orders over £85, making it cost-effective to order multiple sizes and return the ones that don't fit. This removes the risk from online shopping and allows you to be confident in your purchase.
- Understand the Standard Model Height: Sosandar designs its range for a woman who is 5'6" (168cm) with a regular inseam of 79cm. If you're significantly shorter or taller, the proportion of garments may be different on your frame. The Long inseam helps, but you might also find that dresses sit differently on your body.

Occasion Wear & Dresses
Sosandar specialises in beautiful occasion wear, including fit-and-flare dresses, shift dresses, and ruffle hem styles. These pieces are designed to flatter various body shapes whilst remaining on-trend and wearable for events and special occasions. The brand's dresses are typically unlined or lightly lined with a focus on quality fabrication.
For occasion dresses, the fit is paramount. A well-fitting dress should skim your body without being too tight or too loose. Pay attention to the model height and size worn in the product images—this gives you an excellent reference for how the dress will fit on your frame. Sosandar models are typically 5'9" and wear a UK size 8, so if you're significantly different in height or size, the dress proportions may differ on you.
When sizing fit-and-flare dresses, size to your bust measurement. These dresses are designed to nip in at the waist and flare at the hips, providing a flattering silhouette. If you're between sizes, consider your hips; if your hips are significantly larger than the size up, you may need to size up for comfort.
Sosandar dresses often feature special details such as sheer sleeves, ruffle hems, and print designs that enhance the overall look. The length of occasion dresses typically runs from approximately 105cm (from side neck to hem) in size 8, so a dress intended to hit at your knee will sit differently if you're taller or shorter than the standard model height.
