The placket follows a slanted line from one side to the other. It adds a decorative, more distinctively East-Asian look.

Necklines

Measuring Guide

Accurate bust, waist, and hip measurements form the critical foundation for proper size analysis. These dimensions must be meticulously taken using our official guidelines to ensure absolute precision.

How to Measure Your Body for Custom Sizing

1. Preparation
Wear only undergarments (bra and underwear). Have a soft measuring tape ready, and ask a friend or family member to assist for accurate measurements.Please measure in centimeters.

2. Measuring Technique
Let the tape rest gently against your skin—do not pull tight, and do not add extra allowance.

3. Key Measurement Points

Body height: Measure barefoot from vertex to heel in standing position.

- Bust: Pass the measuring tape through the bust point (BP), wrapping horizontally around the fullest part of the chest.

- Waist: Locate your natural waistline and measure its circumference (the narrowest part of the torso, typically near elbow level when arms hang naturally at your sides).

- Hips: Measure horizontally around the fullest part of the hips.

- Back Shoulder Width:Locate the shoulder width between acromion points, measuring with the tape passing over the back neck center point (BNP). The measuring tape will naturally curve slightly - do not force it straight.
