📏 Understanding Chesca’s Plus-Size Sizing

Chesca is specifically designed for UK sizes 12 to 24, with a focus on proportions that suit fuller figures.

Their pieces often feature:

  • Gently flared silhouettes

  • Built-in stretch or bias-cut draping

  • Accommodating bust and hip cuts

  • Sleeve coverage and structured shoulders

Yet not all pieces are created equal. Structured blazers and fitted dresses tend to run truer to size, while flowy chiffon or unlined garments may run larger.
