BULUUY MIRRII

Sizing Guide

Every Buluuy Mirrii garment is made to be worn and felt. Use this guide to find your perfect fit before you order.

How to Measure Yourself

1

Wear Minimal Clothing

Measure in fitted underwear or a thin base layer for the most accurate result.

2

Use a Soft Tape

A flexible fabric measuring tape gives far more accurate results than a ruler.

3

Keep It Level

Hold the tape parallel to the floor and snug against your body — not tight.

4

Measure Twice

Take each measurement twice and use the larger figure when between sizes.

Finding your perfect fit

Buluuy Mirrii garments are designed with intention — shaped to honour the body and move with it. Our sizing is based on Australian standard sizing but may vary slightly by garment style and fabrication. We always recommend taking your own measurements and comparing them to the chart below before placing your order.

If you are ever unsure, please reach out to our team before ordering. We would rather take a moment to help you find the right size than have a garment that doesn't feel exactly as it should.

Important: Buluuy Mirrii sizing reflects the garment's finished measurements, not body measurements. Always compare your body measurements to the chart and allow for the intended ease of the garment's cut.

Where to measure

Bust / Chest

Around the fullest point

Place the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level across your back. Do not pull tightly — the tape should lie flat but comfortably.

Waist

Natural waistline

Measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually about 2–3 cm above your belly button. Breathe out naturally before measuring.

Hips

Widest point of the hips

Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, usually about 20–23 cm below your natural waist.

Length

Shoulder to hem

Measure from the highest point of your shoulder down to where you want the garment to end. This is most useful for dress and coat lengths.

Inseam

For trousers & pants

Measure from the crotch seam to the desired pant hem along the inner leg. This is most accurate when measured against a well-fitting pair of trousers.

Shoulder Width

Across the back

Measure straight across the back from one shoulder point to the other. This is particularly important for fitted jackets and structured garments.

Understanding our silhouettes

Buluuy Mirrii garments are created in a variety of silhouettes, each designed to tell a different story. Below are the fit descriptors you will find on individual product pages.

Silhouette

Slim Fit

Cut close to the body with minimal ease. Best suited to those who prefer a tailored, body-conscious look. Size up if you prefer more room.

Silhouette

Relaxed Fit

A comfortable, easy silhouette with generous ease throughout. True to size for most. Can be sized down for a slimmer appearance.

Silhouette

Oversized Fit

Deliberately voluminous and draping. We recommend sizing down one size from your usual unless you want an extremely roomy look.

Silhouette

Structured Fit

Boned, padded, or built with internal structure. Fits precisely to the measurements listed — accurate sizing is essential for comfort.

Silhouette

Wrap Style

Adjustable at the waist via ties. Generally accommodates a range of sizes. Refer to the hip and bust measurements for best fit.

Silhouette

Bespoke / Draped

Hand-draped and shaped during construction. Fit may vary by piece. Contact us for garment-specific measurements before ordering.

How your fabric moves

The stretch and drape of a fabric significantly affects how a garment fits and how you should size for it. Each Buluuy Mirrii product page indicates the fabric stretch category. Use the guide below to understand what to expect from your chosen piece.

No Stretch

Woven fabrics such as silk, linen, and structured cotton. Fit is fixed — size exactly to your body measurements with no flexibility. Consider sizing up for comfort.

Low Stretch

Fabrics with a slight give, such as stretch woven or ponte. Allows for modest ease of movement. Size to your measurements or size down for a fitted look.

Medium Stretch

Jersey, modal blends, and similar fabrics. Comfortably accommodates one size range in both directions. A forgiving fit for most body types.

High Stretch

Elastane-rich fabrics and active knits with 4-way stretch. May be sized down. The garment will expand generously to the body. Refer to product notes for guidance.

Fabric care & fit over time: Natural fabrics such as silk and linen may soften and relax slightly with wear and washing. Structured pieces retain their shape when cared for according to the garment's care label.

If you fall between sizes

Many of our customers find themselves between standard sizes. Here is our general guidance — though we always recommend reaching out to our team for advice on specific pieces.

Our General Rule

When in doubt, size up.

It is always easier to take in or adjust a garment that is slightly too large than to let out one that is too small. Most of our pieces can be tailored by a local seamstress with ease. If you are between sizes on a structured or fitted piece, we strongly recommend sizing up and having it fitted to you.

1

Between sizes on bust and waist

Choose the size that fits your bust. Waist shaping can often be adjusted by a tailor. If the garment has a defined waist seam, there is usually room to take it in slightly.

2

Between sizes on hips and waist

For bottoms and fitted dresses, always size to your hips. The waistband can be taken in by a tailor if needed, but let out seams are limited on structured garments.

3

Relaxed or draped styles

For relaxed, oversized, or wrap styles, you have more flexibility. These silhouettes are designed to accommodate a range of proportions. When in doubt, contact us and we will tell you which size works for the specific garment.

4

Structured couture pieces

For structured, boned, or couture garments, fit precision is critical. If you are between sizes on a piece like this, we strongly recommend a custom order rather than a standard size. Contact us to discuss your measurements.

Made for your measurements

For clients who sit outside our standard size range, or who require a garment tailored precisely to their proportions, Buluuy Mirrii offers custom sizing on selected styles. A custom-sized garment is crafted using your exact measurements to ensure an impeccable fit.

Please note: custom sizing is a separate service from our custom couture or bespoke order process. A custom-sized garment uses an existing Buluuy Mirrii design but is cut to your measurements, rather than standard sizing.

1

Select your style

Browse the collection and note the style you are interested in. Check the product page to confirm the garment is available for custom sizing.

2

Send us your measurements

Email media@buluuymirrii.com.au with your bust, waist, hip, shoulder width, and any key length measurements. Our team will advise if any further measurements are needed for your chosen garment.

3

Confirm & place your order

Our team will confirm the details, timeline, and any additional cost for custom sizing before your order is placed. Most custom-sized garments require 4–6 additional weeks lead time.

4

Your garment is crafted

Your piece is then cut and constructed to your exact measurements by our atelier. You will receive tracking information once your garment is completed and dispatched.

Frequently asked questions

Our sizing aligns broadly with Australian standard sizing, but fit will vary depending on the garment's silhouette and fabric. We always recommend measuring yourself and comparing to our size chart rather than relying solely on your usual label size.
Our standard ready to wear range currently extends to AU Size 16. For sizes beyond this, we offer custom garments on selected styles. Please contact our team at media@buluuymirrii.com.au to discuss your requirements. We are happy to help.
For most bottoms and fitted dresses, we recommend sizing to your hips as this is the most difficult area to adjust. For tops and blouses, size to your bust. If you're unsure about a specific garment, contact us and we will advise based on the cut and fabric of that piece.
Our model reference height is 175 cm. If you are shorter, a maxi dress may be longer on you than shown in imagery — this is typically easy to hem. We note approximate garment lengths on each product page. Feel free to contact us for length queries on specific pieces before ordering.
Custom sizing is available on selected styles — not every garment in the collection can be made to measure. Contact our team before ordering to confirm whether your chosen style is eligible for custom sizing and what the lead time and pricing would be.
As a general guide: Australian sizes align with UK sizes exactly (AU 10 = UK 10), and run approximately 4 sizes above US sizes (AU 10 = US 6). However, we always recommend using your actual body measurements rather than converting label sizes, as sizing standards vary between brands. Refer to our measurement chart above for the most accurate result.
