Printed & Floral Clothing

Look at the garment from a few steps away as well as close up. Consider the space the pattern covers and how it works with the cut, sleeves and neckline. Try the piece with the plain clothes you intend to wear alongside it, and choose the balance you personally enjoy.

Try a colour already in the artwork if you want a connection, or use a plain shoe that works with the outfit as a whole. Assess the bag and jewellery at the same time. An exact colour match is one option, but the final choice can be about the balance you prefer.

Use each label’s size chart rather than treating a number or letter as universal. Compare the measurements that matter for the garment and read its fit notes. Allow for the intended silhouette and any lining or fastening, then check the actual size options on the individual product page.

Try the actual pieces together, paying attention to sleeve volume and room through the shoulders. Check that a collar or neckline detail does not catch against the jacket. Assess the two hem lengths both standing and seated, particularly if you want to wear the top untucked through the day.

Read the care details on the individual product page and follow the label supplied with the garment. Check the complete washing, drying and ironing guidance before buying. A collection groups pieces for a shopping purpose, while the correct care method depends on each item’s fabric, construction and finishing details.
