Highlighted rows (S, M, L) represent the most commonly stocked sizes at Alba. Forte Forte uses a Roman numeral sizing system (0, I, II, III). Body measurements are approximate and may vary by brand and fabrication.

Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Do not pull tight.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest point of your natural waist, usually just above the navel.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, approximately 20 cm below your natural waist.

When between sizes

If your measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. For fitted styles, consider the measurement closest to the most fitted part of the garment.
