Pieces generally runs true to size, but with variation between categories and fabrics:

  • Knitwear – oversized or relaxed by design

  • Dresses – fitted through waist and bust, some run small

  • Trousers and tailoring – slim waist, little stretch

  • T-shirts & basics – true to size

Fit Breakdown by Product Category

1. Dresses (e.g. shirt dresses, wrap, midi)

  • Fit: Can run fitted at bust or waist, especially in non-stretch fabrics

  • Tip: True to size for straight body types; curvier figures may need to size up

  • Tellar Tip: Bust, waist and height ratio ensures better dress fit recommendations


2. Knitwear & Jumpers

  • Fit: Usually oversized, boxy, or dropped shoulder

  • Tip: Stay true to size for the intended slouchy look

  • Tellar Tip: Choose “relaxed” vs “fitted” style preference in your profile


3. Trousers & Wide-Leg Bottoms

  • Fit: Slim waist, minimal stretch, generous in hip and thigh

  • Tip: Size up if you’re curvier in the hip or prefer a looser waist

  • Tellar Tip: Waist-to-hip ratio and rise depth help pinpoint the ideal size


4. T-Shirts, Blouses & Basics

  • Fit: True to size in most cases

  • Tip: Cropped styles may run short—check torso length

  • Tellar Tip: Shoulder span and bust width are key for top fit accuracy


5. Accessories (e.g. belts, hats, bags)

  • Fit: Most bags are one-size; belts vary by style

  • Tip: Measure your waist for correct belt sizing

  • Tellar Tip: Tellar uses your waist and preferred rise to recommend belt lengths that actually fit


Why Pieces Sizing Can Be Hit-or-Miss

Although designed for mass appeal, Pieces’ sizing isn’t always predictable:

  • Relaxed fits may feel too large for petite shoppers

  • Tailored cuts often lack stretch or curve accommodation

  • International product runs (EU sizing) can vary slightly by region

  • Online stock photos don’t always reflect proportions accurately

That’s why Tellar.co.uk is so helpful: we use actual product data, not vague size guides, and compare it to your real shape and preferences.
