Size guide
A German label, so the numbering matches Dutch sizing directly. Silk and fine cotton, neat tailoring, and co-ord sets that are sold as a pair.
Cut neat rather than roomy. In practice a Riani 40 has suited clients who wear a Dutch 38 — so where the American and Italian labels above run generous, this one runs closer to the body. If you are between sizes, take the larger.
| Labelled | Fits like | Measured |
|---|---|---|
| Pastel skirt, 38 | NL 38 | Waist 37 cm flat · length 66 cm |
| Silk blouse, 40 | NL 38/40 | Roomier through the body |
| Silk co-ord set, 38 | NL 38 | Skirt and top sold together |
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.
Riani does publish a full size table with bust, waist and hip in centimetres, but only as an image, so it cannot be reproduced here as text. It opens in a moment on their site — and their measuring instructions match the method used above.
