🧵 Why Silk?

Silk is a timeless luxury fabric prized for its softness, sheen, breathability, and temperature balance. From elegant blouses and tailored shirts to flowing trousers and dresses, silk offers a beautiful drape and upscale feel. But fit matters—silk clings more than woven cotton, so precise sizing ensures comfort and avoids awkward bunching or pulling.

High Street Silk: Accessible vs. Affordable

  1. & Other Stories

    Offers silk blouses and dresses with Scandinavian tailoring. Sizes vary—some runs true, others slightly small in the bust. Consider sizing up in fitted styles.

  2. Reiss

    Known for refined silk shirts and blouses. Their cuts are often tailored—ideal for workwear, but pay attention to shoulder width and chest room. Use Tellar to compare your measurements to Reiss ranges.

  3. COS

    Clean, minimalist silk styles with relaxed fits. Generally true to size but boxy. Tellar will flag oversized shapes and suggest fitting options accordingly.

  4. Mango

    Offers a wide range of silk-linen and silk-blend pieces. Cotton-silk blends can run small at waist/hips, so check Tellar’s brand-specific size notes.

Designer Silk: Luxury with Fine Tailoring

  1. The Row

    Ultra-lux silk separates—cropped pants, relaxed blouses. Silhouettes are often wide and fluid; sizing relies heavily on body proportions.

  2. Saint Laurent

    Known for slinky silk shirts with fitted styling. Their sizing leans European, often smaller in the waist.

  3. Alexander McQueen

    Structured silk-detailed blouses and skirts. Tailored cuts mean accurate neck and shoulder measurements matter here.

  4. Loro Piana

    High-end silk-satin dresses and scarves. Italian sizing typically runs small in tailored fits.

Boutique & Independent Silk Labels

  1. Reformation

    California‑based, eco-friendly pieces with silk and sustainable blends. Styles range from body-hugging to loose—Tellar flags the difference.

  2. Camilla and Marc

    Luxe silk blouses with feminine tailoring—check bust and arm measurements carefully.

  3. Araks

    Minimalist slip-dresses with bias cuts—these cling, so accurate hip and bust sizing is key.

  4. Elizabeth Suzann

    Often uses silk-linen mixes with generous cuts—consider moving down a size if you prefer a closer fit.

📏 The Fit Issue (and Tellar Solutions)

Different brands use varied size charts—UK, EU, US—mixing numerical and lettered labels, often without explaining fit. For silk, even a 3 cm difference in waist or hip can ruin a garment’s look.

That’s where Tellar.co.uk steps in—the UK’s leading free sizing tool. Here’s what makes it essential:
