Apparel Size Guides

Each chart says whether to measure yourself or measure the garment — check the note above each table before you reach for a tape. All figures are in centimetres, taken after washing; switch any chart to inches with the toggle.

Echo Short Women's

Women's · 2-in-1 with built-in liner

Size on your own measurements — take a tape to yourself rather than to the garment.

MeasurementXSSMLXL
Fits waist (your body)
How it's measured

Measure yourself, not the shorts. Wrap the tape around your natural waist, the narrowest part, roughly where the waistband will sit. This is the number to size on. The waistband stretches around 17% beyond its relaxed size, and the drawcord takes up any slack, so if you are between two sizes either will wear.

Waist Tolerance ±2
How it's measured

Waistband laid flat and relaxed, measured straight across, then doubled.

Width, 17 cm below waist Tolerance ±2
How it's measured

A measurement of the shorts, not of you. Taken straight across the garment 17 cm below the top of the waistband at the side, then doubled. On a short this brief that is close to the hem, so it describes how wide the leg falls. It is not your hip measurement and should not be compared to one.

Inseam (outer short) Tolerance ±1

Along the inside leg of the outer short, from the crotch seam to the hem.

7.67.67.67.67.6
Side length Tolerance ±1
How it's measured

Measured down the angled side seam, from the top of the waistband to where the side seam ends. Because the hem is cut high at the side and drops toward the inside leg, this is shorter than the overall length of the short. It is not how far down your leg it sits.

23.524.525.526.527.5
Hem sweep Tolerance ±1
How it's measured

Straight across the full hem of the outer short, then doubled.

Liner inseam
How it's measured

Along the inside leg of the built-in liner, from the crotch seam to the hem. The liner sits longer than the outer short.

1212121212

Size on the top row, your own waist, measured with a tape. Everything below it describes the shorts themselves. A high-rise 3" split short with a longer compression liner underneath: the liner sits about 4 cm below the outer short. Between sizes? Either will wear. Size down for a closer waist, up for a looser one.

The first row is a body measurement, so measure yourself. Everything below it is the garment, laid flat and doubled where it is a circumference, after washing. Allow for the stated tolerance on each row. Waist fit ranges were set from a stretch test on real S and M samples, not from a conversion chart.

FRONT123Measured flat and unstretched, then doubled. The fabric stretches beyond these figures.

Echo Sports Bra Women's

Women's · Medium support

Size on your own measurements — take a tape to yourself rather than to the garment.

MeasurementXSSMLXL
Fits bust (your body)
How it's measured

Measure yourself, not the bra. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of the bust, level all the way round, standing relaxed. This is the number to size on.

78-8383-8888-9292-9797-102
Fits underbust (your body)
How it's measured

Measure yourself, not the bra. Wrap the tape around your ribcage directly below the bust. If your bust and underbust point to different sizes, go with the underbust: that is what carries the support.

64-6969-7474-7878-8383-88
Front centre length
How it's measured

Straight down the centre front, from the lowest point of the neckline to the bottom of the band.

1212.51313.514
Chest (unstretched)
How it's measured

Straight across the widest point of the body, laid flat and completely unstretched, then doubled. Because this is a compression fabric, the figure is much smaller than the bust it fits.

6973778185
Hem band (unstretched)
How it's measured

Straight across the bottom band, laid flat and completely unstretched, then doubled.

6064687276

Size on the top two rows, those are your body, measured with a tape. If your bust and underbust point to different sizes, go with the underbust: that band is what carries the support. Want more compression? Size down. This is a single-width bra with no cup grading, so it is built for roughly an A to C cup.

The first two rows are body measurements, so measure yourself. They were set from a stretch test on real S and M samples: the body stretches about 20% and the band about 15% before it stops being comfortable. XS to L are measured, the XL fit range is extended from that same grade rather than measured directly. The last three rows are the bra itself, laid flat and completely unstretched, then doubled. Useful for comparing against a bra you already own, but not something to measure your body against.
