How do I determine my size?

Refer to our detailed Size Guide on each product page. We recommend measuring a similar garment you own and comparing it to our measurements.

Do your African-print fabrics stretch?

For the most part, no! We make most of our items using 100% African wax cotton which has no stretch whatsoever, so most of our clothing have minimal give. Please consult the fabric details on the product page to confirm stretch properties.
