We have based our sizing charts on the information generated by the TrueSize Sizing Matrix.
This information collates thousands of body shapes and sizes before breaking down the information into dress sizes. It calculates the measurements needed for the stretch properties in a specific fabric and means we can allow TrueSize to automatically adjust sizes when we vary the materials.
How does this work with Ikigai DriTech fabric?
DriTech has a lower stretch percentage than materials such as lycra. It was therefore very important that we got our sizing charts correct so athletes felt comfortable in their kit. The TrueSize system has adjusted our patterns to give the measurements supplied in our sizing charts today http://www.ikigaisports.com/customer-services
So what size do I order?
A question we hear very often. Quite simply, it depends on the fit you prefer. If you are a UK size 12 then ordering an IKIGAI 12 will give you a nice comfortable fit. If you prefer a tight fit then of course you can size down. There is no longer a need to order a size up because you fear your regular dress size will come in way too tight.
For those who find themselves between dresses sizes on a regular basis then the decision to size up or down is dependant on the fit you want. In the majority of cases customers have sized down due to the comfortable fit allowance.
We always advise customers to measure up existing garments or request samples sizes from us.
