Fit Guide for True Boutique Shoppers
How to Find Your Size at True Boutique
Every brand cuts clothing a little differently, so knowing your measurements is the most reliable way to shop with confidence. To get started, you'll need three key measurements: your bust (measured around the fullest part of your chest), your waist (measured around your natural waistline, usually the narrowest point), and your hips (measured around the fullest part). Use a soft measuring tape and measure over light clothing or directly on the skin for the most accurate result. Once you have those numbers, compare them against the brand-specific sizing charts listed below. If you fall between two sizes, we generally recommend sizing up, especially for structured pieces. For stretchy fabrics and comfort-focused styles like our popular stretch-waist bottoms, sizing down is often fine.

Size Conversion Chart
Canadian, US, and UK Size Conversions
Shopping across different brands sometimes means navigating different regional sizing systems. Canadian sizing generally aligns with US sizing, but some European and UK brands in our collection, including Isle Jacobsen and select Vero Moda lines, may follow a different scale. Use this size conversion chart as a quick reference: US/CA 0 = UK 4 = EU 32 US/CA 2 = UK 6 = EU 34 US/CA 4 = UK 8 = EU 36 US/CA 6 = UK 10 = EU 38 US/CA 8 = UK 12 = EU 40 US/CA 10 = UK 14 = EU 42 US/CA 12 = UK 16 = EU 44 US/CA 14 = UK 18 = EU 46 When in doubt, check the product detail for the specific brand's country of origin. Our in-store team at Belmont Market in Langford can walk you through any brand-specific quirks before you commit to a size.

Boutique Fit Advice, Westshore BC
Fit Tips for Real Women, All Ages and Sizes
Sizing charts are a useful tool, but fit is about more than a number. At True Boutique, our approach to styling is rooted in how clothing makes you feel, not the tag on the inside. A few practical tips our team swears by: pay attention to fabric content, as natural fibres like the 100% organic cotton in our Westland pieces tend to have less stretch than blended fabrics; consider your proportions when choosing between sizes, since a top that fits your shoulders may need a different size than one that fits your waist; and never use a size as a measure of worth. We serve women across the Westshore, from Langford and Colwood to Sooke, Metchosin, View Royal, and Malahat, and confidence comes from fit, not from a label. Our complimentary one-on-one personal styling service is available in store for anyone who wants hands-on help finding pieces that genuinely work for their body and lifestyle.
Sizing Questions, Answered
Common Fit and Sizing Questions

  • Do all the brands at True Boutique follow the same sizing?

    No, sizing varies quite a bit from one brand to the next. A medium in Silver Jeans, for example, may fit differently than a medium in ZSupply or Vero Moda. That's why we recommend using your actual measurements as your guide rather than relying on the size you usually wear. The general sizing chart on this page gives you a solid starting point, and product descriptions include brand-specific notes where available. If you're unsure about a particular brand, our team in store at Belmont Market in Langford is happy to help you compare options before you buy.

  • What measurements do I need to find my size accurately?

    The three most useful measurements for women's clothing are your bust, waist, and hips. Measure your bust around the fullest part of your chest, your waist at its narrowest natural point, and your hips around the fullest part of your seat. Use a soft measuring tape and keep it parallel to the floor for accuracy. Measuring over light clothing or directly on the skin gives the most reliable result. Once you have these three numbers, you can compare them against the sizing chart on this page or against the specific brand chart listed in a product's description.

  • What should I do if I fall between two sizes?

    It depends on the style and fabric. For structured pieces like blazers or fitted dresses, sizing up generally gives you more room to move comfortably. For stretchy or relaxed styles, including the comfort-focused stretch-waist bottoms we carry, sizing down often works well. When in doubt, consider which part of your body is harder to adjust for: if a waistband is too tight, that's difficult to work around, so prioritize that measurement. Our in-store team at True Boutique can help you try options side by side to find what actually feels right on your body.

  • Does True Boutique carry inclusive sizing for different body types?

    Yes. Inclusive sizing across all ages, shapes, and sizes is a core part of how True Boutique selects its inventory. The boutique was built around the idea that fashion should work for real women, not just a narrow range of body types. Brands are chosen with that in mind, and the in-store team focuses on fit and how you feel rather than the number on the hanger. Women from across the Westshore, including Langford, Colwood, Sooke, and surrounding areas, shop here specifically because the experience feels welcoming rather than exclusive.

  • How does Canadian sizing compare to UK or European sizing?

    Canadian sizing generally matches US sizing. However, some brands in the True Boutique collection, including certain Isle Jacobsen and Vero Moda styles, use European or UK sizing conventions. As a general reference: a Canadian/US size 8 is roughly equivalent to a UK size 12 and a European size 40. The size conversion chart on this page covers the most common ranges. If you're looking at a specific item and aren't sure which system it uses, check the product detail or ask the team in store for clarification before purchasing.

  • Is there someone who can help me figure out my size in person?

    Yes. True Boutique offers complimentary one-on-one personal styling to anyone who visits the store at Belmont Market in Langford. The team focuses on fit, budget, and what genuinely works for your body and lifestyle, with no pressure to buy anything. This service is especially helpful if you're shopping for a specific occasion, trying a new brand for the first time, or just want an honest second opinion. The styling approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping you feel confident rather than pushing a sale.

  • Do the sizing charts apply to shoes as well?

    The sizing charts on this page cover women's apparel only. Shoe sizing follows a separate scale, and True Boutique carries seasonal footwear focused on comfort and styling. Shoe sizes in Canada generally align with US sizing. If you're unsure about a specific shoe style or brand, the team in store can help you find the right fit. Footwear at True Boutique is priced from around $30 to $200, and the selection changes with the seasons.

  • Can I use this size guide when shopping online at True Boutique?

    Yes, this guide is designed to support both in-store and online shopping. When browsing the True Boutique online shop at shoptrueboutique.com, use your measurements alongside the general sizing chart and any brand-specific notes in the product description. Because sizing can vary between brands, having your bust, waist, and hip measurements on hand before you add something to your cart helps reduce the chance of a poor fit.
