Cult Gaia has become a cult favourite for a reason. With its structured silhouettes, art-inspired accessories, and jaw-dropping occasionwear, the LA-based label has made its way into the wardrobes of women around the world. But as the designs grow more architectural, the sizing often grows more complex. From minimal knitwear to open-back dresses and linen co-ords, the question remains: how does Cult Gaia sizing actually fit?
At Tellar.co.uk, we take the guesswork out of fashion sizing. Just enter your body measurements once — or tell us what you wear in another brand — and get accurate size recommendations for over 1,500 fashion brands, including Cult Gaia.
What You Should Know About Cult Gaia Sizing
Cult Gaia plays with shape — think halter dresses with sculpted ribcages, knit tops that contour closely to the body, or trousers with asymmetric waistlines. These design signatures make the brand stand out, but they also create challenges when it comes to size predictability.
Here’s what makes Cult Gaia sizing slightly harder to interpret:
-
Many pieces are cut to cling to or expose key parts of the body — such as underbust, hips, or back
-
The brand often uses US sizing, so UK shoppers may misinterpret the scale
-
Fabric types vary widely — from thick knits with stretch to rigid linen with none
-
Strap placements and fastenings can significantly affect fit, especially in open-back garments
You don’t need to second-guess it. Tellar.co.uk will show you exactly what size works for your body, factoring in fabric, cut, stretch and more.
Common Cult Gaia Sizing Questions
Does Cult Gaia run small or large?
Generally, Cult Gaia runs true to size through the bust and waist. However, dresses with intricate cut-outs or non-stretch fabrics can run slightly small, particularly around the ribcage.
Is the brand consistent across categories?
Not entirely. Their knitwear typically offers more forgiveness and flexibility than their eveningwear. Linen and satin pieces may run narrow at the hip or bust, especially if unlined.
Do I need to size up for comfort?
If you’re in between sizes or you prefer less form-fitting styles, it’s worth sizing up — especially for structured dresses, corset-style tops or halternecks.
