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

The Fold London is a premium British womenswear brand designed for professional women who want elegance, confidence, and cutting-edge tailoring. With a focus on flattering fits, smart fabrics, and powerful silhouettes, The Fold serves ambitious women in need of high-function, high-fashion workwear.

But when investing in a £300+ blazer or dress, precision matters.
Does The Fold run big or small?
And how can you get your sizing right the first time?

This post explains exactly how The Fold fits—and introduces Tellar.co.uk, the UK’s smartest free sizing tool that matches you to your ideal size in real time.

Does The Fold Run Big or Small?

The Fold runs true to size—but leans tailored, meaning:

  • Slim-fitting bodices and pencil skirts may require sizing up for comfort

  • Jackets and dresses are structured with narrow shoulders or waist seams

  • Trousers and wrap dresses are slightly more forgiving

For hourglass or athletic builds, sizing up in fitted styles is often the best move.

What Influences Fit at The Fold?

1. Luxury Tailoring

The Fold’s garments are designed with precise seams, internal construction and clean tailoring. There’s minimal ease—garments are built to follow your silhouette, not hide it.

2. Premium Fabrics

Most pieces use:

  • Wool crepe

  • Viscose jersey

  • Bonded cotton

  • Tech tailoring blends

While some materials have stretch panels, many do not—especially in structured dresses or blazers.

3. Fit Varies by Category

The Fold offers:

  • Dresses with nipped waists and sculpted hips

  • Suits with clean, long lines

  • Blouses and knitwear with softer fits
    Each needs a specific size recommendation.
