Size guide

Dsquared2

Italian sizing, Canadian house, cut close in principle and generous in practice. Mostly cotton — shirts, halter dresses, and pieces with the logo hardware.

How it fits

Italian numbers sit six above Dutch ones on paper, so an IT 42 reads as a Dutch 36. In the pieces Cecile has handled they run a size roomier than that: an IT 42 shirt suits a 36 or 38, and an IT 44 dress fits a Dutch 38. Where a piece is labelled S/M rather than numerically, go by the measurements.

In short

  • IT 42 → NL 36/38 · IT 44 → NL 38.
  • The cotton shirts do not run small — the collars and cuffs are stiff by design.
  • A Dsquared2 'medium' measured out as a Dutch 36/38.

These notes come from pieces Cecile has stocked and fitted herself. They are her own observations rather than the brand's official size chart — if a measurement matters, write to her and she will check the piece before you reserve.

The brand's official chart

Dsquared2 sells in Italian sizing but publishes no body-measurement table on its own site; sizes appear on the product pages without dimensions. Go by the measured pieces above, or ask Cecile to measure the piece.
