Choosing the correct fit not only flatters your natural silhouette, it leevates your entire look. Here are some essential guidelines on how to select clothing that fits perfectly, to make you look and feel your best.
Bridal Events
There's nothing more joyous or exciting as planning your wedding. The ultimate celebration of love, weddings are occasions that mark our lives and remind us of the importance of rituals in our journeys. Today's bride often holds a number of festive events in celebration of this important milestone.
Our latest signature collection is a stylish and contemporary capsule of modern dresses and perennially chic tailoring that will take you from engagement party to hen's night and bridal shower. Brides looking for the perfect style for an elopement or intimate wedding can now select from luxurious pieces in simple, defined shapes that come to life in refined fabrics selected to honour such special occasions.
Embrace the fun of your hen's night in a flirty mini dress that allows you to hit the dance floor all night long. The Devotion Mini Dress has a flattering strapless bodice with an additional neck tie to highlight your shoulders, while the Afterglow Mini Dress has a dramatic bow on the shoulder which is fully detachable.
Longer dresses offer a new level of elegance that are perfect for engagement parties, bridal showers or a registry wedding. Our most loved Cosmic Maxi Dress is now available in Ivory, or you can opt for a more streamlined version in the Edge of Glory Midi Dress. Styles in opulent pearl satin that shimmers as you move are perfect choices; both the Love In The Dark Midi Dress and the Enlighten Me Maxi Dress showcase a fluid femininity that is utterly alluring. If you like the idea of textural interest, then the Breakthrough Maxi Dress is a sophisticated option, with a one shouldered bodice and asymmetric hemline that is unashamedly modern.
A statement mini skirt paired with a fitted top is a contemporary take on event dressing. The Lust For Draped Mini Skirt has head-turning appeal, and only needs the simplicity of the Lust For Bustier to complete the look. The Elope Mini Skirt is a new bell shape perfect for highlighting shapely legs, with the Devotion Top an elegant accompaniment.
Tailored pieces can be the epitome of sleek refinement for the modern bride. The Devotion Blazer and Pant are sleek and opulent in a beautiful satin and can be worn with either a bustier or halter top. The Onyx Blazer Dress in white offers a removable lace underskirt for a new level of feminine sophistication.
understand your body shape
Before you can select clothes that fit well, it's crucial to understand your body shape. You may have heard of body shapes such as hourglass, apple, pear or rectangular - all of these have different characteristics that can impact how flattering a particular garment will be.
It's about optical illusions - understanding where to draw the eye and what areas you want to avoid highlighting.
HOURGLASS
With hips and shoulders similar sizes, and a smaller mid-section, look for clothing that draws attention to your narrowest part - your waist - to highlight your natural curves.
PEAR
If you have hips that are wider than your shoulders, choose pieces that direct attention to your narrower upper body which fit snugly around your waist to give you a more balanced silhouette.
APPLE
For those that have a thicker torso with relatively narrow hips, thighs and shoulders, opt for clothing that skims the mid-section and draws eyes to your shoulders, decolletage or legs.
RECTANGLE
If you find little difference in yuour waist, hip and bust measurements, styles that visually create curves through details such as defined waistbands, ruching or tucks are your go-to styles.
measure yourself accurately
Accurate measurments are the foundation of a great fit. Measure your bust, waist and hips with a flexible tape measure, and compare it to the size chart provided. Don't forget that the size chart details body measurements, not garment dimensions. If you find you are in between sizes, select the size that gives you more room at the waist and hips for a more fitted item, or at the bust for more relaxed styles. A garment that is too tight will make you look bigger than you actually are.
use a fit tool
Mossman has paired with Wair, a fit recommendation platform that uses AI along with the world's largest database of body scans, product specifications, fit preferences and customer reviews to calculate your individual size recommendation for every product.
Simply click on the Size Calculator link on every product page, answer a few easy questions and Wair will formulate the size most likley to give you the perfect fit.
focus on quality over quantity
Invest in fewer, higher quality pieces that fit well and feel great, rather than a larger quantity of poorly fitting, uncomfortable clothes.
Quality garments tend to be designed with better proportions and more premium fabrics that maintain their shape and durability over time.
Mossman's products are made with careful attention to detail. High quality fabrics, fastenings and linings ensure a smooth and seamless finish and result in garments you love to wear over and over.
