nown for its ethereal, embellished designs and occasion-ready glamour, Maya has fast become a favourite for weddings, proms, and bridesmaid duties. But like many formalwear labels, Maya sizing can be unpredictable. Whether you’re eyeing one of their signature sequin gowns or a floaty tulle number, getting the right size is key.

Here’s everything you need to know about Maya sizing, plus how Tellar.co.uk helps you choose the perfect fit every time.


Why Maya Has Grown in Popularity

With its origins in the UK, Maya has become a best-seller at major retailers thanks to its:

  • Hand-finished sequin embellishments

  • Signature tulle maxi skirts

  • Inclusive Petite, Tall, Curve, and Maternity collections

  • Modern bridesmaid colourways (sage, dusky pink, navy, champagne)

Maya offers a wide range of styles—but this diversity means sizing can vary depending on cut, fabric, and range.


Does Maya Run True to Size?

Most customers report that Maya dresses run slightly small, especially in more structured styles or in the Curve range. Based on aggregated data from real users via Tellar.co.uk:

  • Standard Range: Slightly snug at the waist and bust

  • Tall Range: Ideal for heights 5'8"+, true to UK size

  • Petite Range: Accurate proportions, but some styles feel tighter around ribs

  • Curve Range: Size up for comfort in fitted bodices

Every body is different—so your best option is to use a tailored sizing tool to match your exact measurements to Maya's size charts.

Best Maya Pieces to Invest In

With dozens of collections and seasonal updates, Maya offers great pieces that consistently perform well across all sizes. Here’s what our users recommend:

1. Maya Embellished Maxi Dress

The iconic style that made the brand famous. Hand-sewn sequins, soft mesh sleeves, and a layered tulle skirt. Usually runs tight on the upper arms and bust.

2. Maya Maternity Collection

Thoughtfully designed for pregnancy and postpartum wear. Offers empire waistlines and layered skirts for comfort and flexibility.

3. Maya Curve

Cut to flatter curvier figures. While the designs are elegant, size up if you prefer more room in the bust or back.

4. Bridesmaid Multiway Styles

Perfect for bridal parties—available in over 10 colours with consistent sizing. Look for the stretch waistband versions if comfort is a priority.

Why Most Size Charts Fall Short

Standard size charts rely on assumptions—but your body doesn’t fit into a spreadsheet.

Why size charts fail:

  • Don’t account for body shape (pear, apple, hourglass)

  • Assume symmetrical proportions

  • Often outdated or oversimplified

  • Don’t reflect differences between cuts or fabric types

That’s where Tellar stands out. Our algorithm matches your body’s largest measurement (e.g. hips or bust) to how each brand actually fits, not how it claims to.
