What’s My Clothes Size at Ghost? Does Ghost Run Big or Small?

Ghost is a British heritage brand known for its signature bias-cut dresses, fluid satin fabrics, and timeless occasionwear. Whether you’re attending a wedding, dressing for work, or updating your capsule wardrobe, Ghost offers elegant silhouettes with a romantic, effortless edge.

But one thing many shoppers still ask:
Does Ghost run big or small?
And how can you confidently choose the right size—especially when dealing with delicate fabrics, fitted waists, and minimal stretch?

This post answers your questions—and introduces Tellar.co.uk, the UK’s leading free sizing tool that shows you your accurate Ghost size in real time, based on your body measurements and the brand’s fit logic.

Does Ghost Run Big or Small?

Ghost generally runs true to size, but with a few key exceptions depending on:

  • The cut (especially fitted or bias-cut dresses)

  • The fabric (most commonly viscose or satin with limited stretch)

  • The style (structured vs. floaty)

Shoppers with broader shoulders, curvier hips, or a fuller bust may occasionally need to size up—particularly in wrap styles, fitted midi dresses, or button-up bodices.

Conversely, more relaxed silhouettes (e.g. smock dresses or elasticated waist styles) tend to be generous in fit.

Why Ghost Sizing Can Vary

Several technical and design factors influence Ghost’s sizing:

1. Bias-Cut Construction

Bias-cut garments are cut diagonally across the fabric grain. This results in:

  • A more figure-hugging fit

  • A fluid drape that highlights curves

  • Less forgiveness across the waist or hips, especially in woven satin

2. Limited Fabric Stretch

Ghost frequently uses:

  • Satin-finish viscose

  • Crepe and georgette

  • Textured rayon or tencel
    These fabrics have minimal stretch, which can make garments less accommodating for in-between sizes.

3. Occasion-Focused Fit

Unlike loungewear or casual fashion brands, Ghost prioritises elegance and shape definition, meaning garments may be:

  • Fitted at the bust and waist

  • Tapered through the hips

  • Designed for a cleaner silhouette

Fit Summary by Garment Category

Garment Type Fit Behaviour Sizing Tip
Bias-cut midi dresses Slim through waist/hips Size up if curvier or between sizes
Button-down satin dresses Narrow at bust Size up if fuller-chested
Wrap dresses Adjustable at waist True to size, but size up for bust coverage
Smock styles Generous cut Stick to size or size down
Blouses & shirts Fitted across chest Size up if broad-shouldered or busty
Skirts (midi/bias) Close fit at waist/hips Size up if curvy at the hip

Ghost Size Chart (UK Standard)

UK Size Bust (cm) Waist (cm) Hips (cm)
6 80 62 88
8 84 66 92
10 88 70 96
12 92 74 100
14 97 79 105
16 102 84 110
18 107 89 115

However, this chart doesn’t tell you:

  • If the item is cut bias or straight

  • Whether it buttons or zips

  • If your proportions (e.g. small waist, wide hips) are reflected in the style

That’s why Tellar.co.uk gives you a better solution.
