Size guide

Monique Collignon

A Dutch designer, and the label Cecile carries in the greatest depth — often the same model in several sizes and colourways at once. The fabrics are the point: linen, cotton, and a recycled-PET cloth that handles like silk but is far easier to care for.

How it fits

Skirts and trousers run true to Dutch sizing — a Collignon 36 fits as a Dutch 36. The exception is the satin blouse line (blouse string, white neck), which is cut deliberately loose: the label there is a guideline rather than a measurement, and a 36 will often suit someone who wears a 36/38. A few pieces are labelled 34 and fit like a 36.

In short

  • Skirts and trousers: true to Dutch sizing.
  • Satin blouses: cut generously, the neckline draws in with a cord, so the size matters less than usual.
  • The recycled-PET fabric drapes like silk and washes far more easily — no specialist cleaning needed.

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

Monique Collignon publishes no size chart — the house site lists sizes 36 to 42 on the garments themselves but gives no measurements. The measured pieces above are the closest thing to a chart for this label.
