Size Chart & Fit Guide

Please consult the detailed measurements below to select your ideal size. This jacket features a fitted silhouette with a soft, form-flattering cut. We recommend measuring your actual bust, waist, and shoulder width, then comparing these measurements with our chart to ensure the perfect fit.

How to Measure for Perfect Fit

Stand relaxed while wearing your normal undergarments. Measure across your chest at the fullest point, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground. For waist measurement, measure at your natural waist or the narrowest point. Shoulder width should be measured from shoulder point to shoulder point across the back. Sleeve length is measured from the shoulder seam down your arm to your wrist. Refer to these measurements against our size chart to ensure your optimal fit.

Care & Maintenance

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your gothic tailcoat jacket, gentle care is essential. Dry clean for best results to maintain fabric structure and prevent color fading. If hand washing is necessary, use cold water with delicate detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing near lace and embellished areas. Do not bleach or use strong chemicals. Hang to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Store on a quality hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the jacket’s precise tailoring and prevent wrinkles. Avoid contact with perfume, oils, and abrasive surfaces. Regular gentle brushing helps maintain the fabric’s texture and sheen.
