For maxi, midi and mini dresses. Sizes run XS to 4XL depending on the style; the run for a style is in the size selector on its product page.
These are body measurements based on standard US sizing, not Olmecz garment measurements. Many product pages carry their own chart in the details section; those numbers are the garment, measured flat. Where the two disagree, the product page wins, because it describes the style you are looking at.

How to measure
Measure over your underwear, not over a sweater. Keep the tape level and snug, and do not pull it tight. Write the three numbers down once and use them across the store.
- Bust. Around the fullest part of your chest, tape level under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel. Breathe out first.
- Hips. Around the fullest part of your hips and seat, feet together.
- Height and shoe. A maxi length depends on both. Measure in the shoes you plan to wear.
If you sit between two sizes, size up for coats and for anything you plan to layer, and go with the measurement that matters most for the cut: bust for a fitted or ruched bodice, hips for a bodycon.
Reading a dress length
- Maxi. Ankle-grazing to floor-length. Your height and your shoe height decide where it lands.
- Midi. Around mid-calf.
- Mini. Above the knee.
Between sizes: go with the bust measurement for a fitted or ruched bodice and with the hip measurement for a bodycon cut. See the full size guide.
