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

RIXO is one of the UK’s most recognisable independent fashion brands—famed for vintage-inspired prints, flattering silhouettes, and feminine occasionwear with a modern twist. Known for its bias-cut silk dresses, bold colour palettes, and inclusive sizing ethos, RIXO bridges the gap between cool-girl confidence and timeless elegance.

But if you’ve ever hesitated before adding a RIXO dress to your basket, you’re not alone.
Does RIXO run big or small?
How does it fit curvier figures? And how can you get the right size the first time?

This guide breaks down how RIXO sizing really works—and introduces Tellar.co.uk, the UK’s leading free sizing tool that shows your exact RIXO size in real time, based on your body measurements.

Does RIXO Run Big or Small?

RIXO generally runs true to size, but many of its dresses—especially bias-cut or non-stretch pieces—can feel tight at the waist, bust, or hips if you’re between sizes or curvy.

Key points:

  • Bias-cut dresses skim the body and require accurate measurements, especially around hips

  • Wrap dresses and elasticated styles are more forgiving and run closer to true size

  • Blouses and tops can feel snug across the chest if you’re fuller-busted

  • Skirts and fitted dresses are often structured and may require sizing up for ease

So while RIXO’s sizing is technically consistent, your experience will depend on your body shape and the garment cut.

RIXO’s Fit Philosophy

RIXO was founded to celebrate women’s bodies—across all shapes and sizes. However, their hero pieces (like the bias-cut silk midi dress) tend to hug the body, meaning:

  • There’s very little forgiveness if the waist or hips are even a few cm outside the recommended measurements

  • The garments have no built-in stretch unless noted (many are 100% silk or viscose crepe)

  • The dresses are cut to flow and flatter, but fit must be precise to achieve the intended drape

Fit Summary by Garment Type

Garment Type Fit Pattern Tellar Sizing Tip
Bias-cut midi dresses Fitted at waist & hips Size up if curvier or between sizes
Empire waist dresses Loose below bust True to size, forgiving through hips
Wrap styles Adjustable, feminine True to size, size up for bust coverage
Silk blouses Narrow at bust & shoulder Size up if fuller-busted
High-waisted skirts Structured, non-stretch Size up for comfort
Knitwear & elastic waists Softer and more forgiving Stick to size or size down

RIXO’s Size Chart (UK Standard)

UK Size Bust (cm) Waist (cm) Hips (cm)
6 80 62 86
8 84 66 90
10 88 70 94
12 92 74 98
14 97 79 103

20 112 94 118
22 117 99 123
24 122 104 128

This chart is helpful—but it won’t explain:

  • Whether a piece is cut slim at the hip

  • If the garment flares from the bust or tapers at the waist

  • Whether your proportions (e.g. small waist + wide hips) are suited to the fit

That’s where Tellar.co.uk comes in.

Example: UK Size 12 Shopper

Measurements:

  • Waist: 74cm

  • Hips: 101cm

Tellar might recommend:

  • Bias-cut midi dress: UK 14 (to allow room through hips)

  • Wrap dress: UK 12 (adjustable at waist)

  • Silk blouse: UK 14 (for shoulder and bust room)

  • Elasticated waist skirt: UK 12 (for relaxed fit)

Every size recommendation is accompanied by a clear reason, so you know exactly why that size works.

Final Thoughts

RIXO sizing is mostly true to size, but many styles are cut on the bias, structured through the waist or hips, and made from non-stretch silks. That means accuracy matters—especially if you’re curvy or in between sizes.

Tellar.co.uk removes the uncertainty. You enter your real measurements once and get the right size for every RIXO piece in real time, across all categories and fabrics.
