Roksanda Size Guide 2026: Body Chart and Conversions

The Roksanda size guide in short: the label uses UK sizing, cuts from UK 4 to 22, fits true to size and shows its pieces on a model wearing a UK 8. Coveti lists Roksanda in UK 4 to 18. A UK 8 equals US 4, EU 36 and IT 40, and fits an 86 cm bust, 66 cm waist and 94 cm hips.

This guide puts the full body chart, the international conversions and our fit notes for each Roksanda silhouette in one place, so you can order with confidence. Every piece mentioned is on the Roksanda brand page at Coveti.

Does Roksanda fit true to size?

Yes. Roksanda says its clothes fit true to size, so most women can order their usual UK size.

The house model wears a UK 8, which is useful when you compare the product photographs with your own frame. What changes from piece to piece is ease. A bias-cut silk column skims the body, a cloque skirt stands away from it, and a tailored jacket is cut close at the shoulder. The fit notes further down explain which measurement to prioritise for each shape.

Roksanda is a London label, founded by Roksanda Ilincic and shown at London Fashion Week since 2005, so it is cut on UK sizing. If you usually shop in US, EU and Italian sizes, the conversion table below does the arithmetic for you. For a broader look at how British labels size, see our guide to British sizing and British brands.

What is the Roksanda body measurement chart?

The Roksanda body chart runs from an 82 cm bust at UK 4 to a 110 cm bust at UK 18, rising 2 cm per size up to UK 8, then 4 cm to UK 10, then 5 cm per size from there.

These are body measurements, not garment measurements. Measure yourself, then find the row that matches.

UK size Bust (cm) Waist (cm) Hips (cm) Bust (in, approx.) Waist (in, approx.) Hips (in, approx.)
UK 4 82 62 90 32.3 24.4 35.4
UK 6 84 64 92 33.1 25.2 36.2
UK 8 86 66 94 33.9 26.0 37.0
UK 10 90 70 98 35.4 27.6 38.6
UK 12 95 75 103 37.4 29.5 40.6
UK 14 100 80 108 39.4 31.5 42.5
UK 16 105 85 113 41.3 33.5 44.5
UK 18 110 90 118 43.3 35.4 46.5

The inch figures are converted from the centimetre chart and rounded to one decimal place. The centimetre figures are the reference.

How do Roksanda sizes convert to US, EU and Italian sizes?

US size is the UK size minus 4, EU size is the UK size plus 28, and Italian size is the UK size plus 32.

UK US EU / FR IT
4 0 32 36
6 2 34 38
8 4 36 40
10 6 38 42
12 8 40 44
14 10 42 46
16 12 44 48
18 14 46 50

Roksanda itself also cuts UK 20 and UK 22. Coveti lists UK 4 to 18, so the chart above covers every size you can order here.

How do you measure yourself for Roksanda?

Use a soft tape measure over light underwear, keep the tape level and snug, and take three measurements.

  • Bust: around the fullest part of the chest, with the tape straight across the back.
  • Waist: around the narrowest part of the torso, usually a little above the navel.
  • Hips: around the fullest part of the hips and seat, with your feet together.

Write the numbers down in centimetres. If you are measuring for a gown, wear the shoes you plan to wear with it and note your height too, because floor-length styles fall differently on different frames.

How does each Roksanda silhouette fit?

The right size depends on the shape: bias columns follow the hip, full skirts follow the bust and waist, and tailoring follows the shoulder.

Silhouette Example at Coveti Key measurement Fit note
Bias-cut silk column Kami Dress Hips Skims the body, little ease below the waist
Structured column Syla Dress Bust and hips Holds its own shape, cut close
Relaxed column Sami Dress Bust Generous through the body and sleeves
Full cloque skirt Rova Dress, Rune Dress Bust and waist Fitted bodice, forgiving skirt
Knotted and wrapped Zoa Dress, Elva Dress Waist Waist detail sets the fit
Tailored jacket Ivara Jacket Shoulders and bust Sculpted shoulder, cinched waist
Wide trouser Ines Trouser Hips Low waist, volume through the leg
Straight trouser Ragosta Trouser Waist High waist, clean straight leg

Bias-cut silk satin dresses

The Kami Dress in Light Aqua is a bias-cut silk satin column that falls to the floor. Bias cutting lets the fabric stretch slightly and cling, so it follows the hip closely. Choose by your hip measurement. The Ida Dress in Rosado is also silk satin, but its drapes through the sleeves and handkerchief hem give more room.

Structured and relaxed columns

The Syla Dress in Burgundy is a structured sheer cloque column with short sleeves, so it sits closer through the bust and the hips at the same time. Check both. The Sami Dress in Deep Burgundy is the opposite: a relaxed satin column with wide fluid sleeves, where the bust is the only measurement that really matters.

Full cloque skirts

The Rova Dress in Wine and the Rune Dress in Burgundy both have a fitted bodice above a full skirt. The skirt is forgiving, so size to the bust and waist. If your hips sit in a larger row than your waist, these are the easiest Roksanda dresses to fit.

Knotted and wrapped waists

The Zoa Dress in Black drapes across the body and knots at the waist, and the Elva Dress in Pink has an asymmetric wrapped waist under a one-shoulder neckline. In both, the waist detail is placed for a specific point on the body, so the waist measurement sets your size.

Tailoring

The Ivara Jacket in Brown Melange has sculpted shoulders and a cinched waist, with a circular cut out across the back. Tailoring is the least forgiving category at the shoulder, so if your shoulders are broad for your bust, consider the larger size and have the waist taken in. The Ines Trouser in Navy drops low at the waist and runs wide to a cuffed hem, so choose it by your hip measurement. The Ragosta Trouser in Navy sits high and clean at the waist, so choose that one by your waist. For styling the wide leg, our wide-leg outfit formulas are a good starting point.

Tops

The Nyra Top in Calliope is a relaxed crepe pussy-bow blouse with a curved hem, so it is easy to fit. The Cirel Top in Burgundy twists at the waist into an asymmetric peplum, so size it to the bust and waist.

What should you do if you are between Roksanda sizes?

Size up for structured pieces and fitted bodices, and size to your smaller measurement for relaxed, draped styles.

Your measurements will rarely land on one row. When they split, look at where the garment is fitted. If the fitted point is your larger measurement, take the larger size, because letting a seam out is rarely possible on silk and cloque, while taking it in usually is. If the style is relaxed through that area, the smaller size will usually sit better through the shoulder and neckline.

  • Bust in one size, hips in the next: for full-skirted cloque, take the bust size. For bias columns, take the hip size.
  • Waist smaller than the chart suggests: wrapped and knotted dresses can be adjusted by a tailor at the waist. Size to bust and hips.
  • Tall frame with a floor-length gown: length matters more than size. Check the gown against your height with your evening shoes on.
  • Petite frame: midi lengths will fall lower on you. A tea-length style like the Kova lands closer to a midi.

A good tailor is part of wearing occasion dresses well. Hems, straps and waists are all simple adjustments on most Roksanda pieces. Always use a specialist dry cleaner, since that is the care instruction across the collection.

Frequently asked questions

Does Roksanda run small?

No. Roksanda says its pieces fit true to size, and the model wears a UK 8. Order your usual UK size and check the key measurement for the silhouette you are buying.

What is a Roksanda UK 8 in US and EU sizes?

A Roksanda UK 8 is a US 4, an EU 36 and an IT 40. It fits an 86 cm bust, a 66 cm waist and 94 cm hips.

What sizes does Coveti stock in Roksanda?

Coveti lists Roksanda in UK 4 to 18. The label itself cuts UK 4 to 22.

Should I size up in Roksanda if I am between sizes?

Size up when the larger measurement falls where the garment is fitted, such as the bust on a cloque dress and the hips on a bias-cut silk column. For relaxed, draped styles the smaller size usually sits better.

How do I convert Roksanda UK sizes to Italian sizes?

Add 32 to the UK size. A UK 8 is an IT 40, a UK 12 is an IT 44 and a UK 16 is an IT 48.
