How Our
Pieces Fit
Everything you need to feel certain before you order. Read, measure, and reach out if you need us.
We are not a one-size-fits-all brand. We are a one-size-fits-most brand — and there is a difference.
Every garment we make is designed with generous, flowing silhouettes. Wrap ties, adjustable straps, deep armholes, draping that is forgiving in the ways that matter. Our pieces are not fitted to a single body type. They are shaped around the reality that women are many things at once — and that the right garment makes room for all of it.
That said, fit is personal. So before you order, take a moment here. Read the notes for your category. Measure if you need to. And if you are still unsure, write to us directly. Our team is in Bali and we respond with care.
Most of our garments are designed to fit the following range comfortably:
| Measurement | Range |
|---|---|
| Bust | 32” – 44” (81cm – 112cm) |
| Waist | 24” – 38” (61cm – 97cm) |
| Hips | 34” – 46” (86cm – 117cm) |
| Height | 5′2” – 5′11” (157cm – 180cm) |
| Dress size (US) | 2 – 16 |
Use a soft measuring tape against your skin, not over clothing. Stand naturally. Breathe.
The piece we receive the most sizing questions about — and the most “I was nervous, but it fits perfectly” reviews.
Designed with a generous torso and adjustable tie or strap details at the shoulder, waist, or both. Most styles fasten at the back with a tie that lets you customise the fit through the body. When you put one on for the first time, adjust the ties slowly. The piece is designed to move with you, not against you.
Suka · Nidra · Swan · Button-Down
Our linen sets are the most size-inclusive pieces we make. The top is relaxed and oversized by design. The shorts or pants carry a wide, elasticated waist that sits comfortably across a genuine range of bodies.
Virgo Moon Kaftan · Kundalini Gown · Amma Gown · Brida Gown
Designed to flow — to drape, not cling. The most generous silhouettes we make. Curvy and plus-size customers leave some of our most enthusiastic reviews specifically about this category. These pieces were designed for bodies that breathe, move, and refuse to be minimised.
We offer custom sizing on selected styles, particularly Made-to-Order pieces.
If you have specific measurements you would like us to work with, reach out to us at support@myrahpenaloza.com before placing your order. Include your bust, waist, hip, and height measurements, and the name of the piece you have in mind. We will tell you honestly what we can accommodate and what the timeline looks like.
This is not an upcharge. This is part of how we make clothing.Our garments are made from natural fabrics — linen, organic cotton, silk, and botanical-dyed textiles. These fabrics are alive in a way that synthetics are not. They breathe. They move. They soften and deepen with wear and washing.
Linen in particular arrives with a crispness that breaks open over time into something more personal, more worn-in, more yours. This is not a flaw. This is the nature of the material.
- Hand wash or gentle machine cycle in cold water
- Lay flat or hang to dry — never tumble dry
- Iron on medium heat while slightly damp, or use a garment steamer
- Store linen pieces folded rather than hung — hanging stretches the fabric over time
- Botanical-dyed pieces: wash separately for the first two washes to set the dye
Still not sure?
Write to us. Email support@myrahpenaloza.com with the piece you are considering, your measurements, and how you typically like things to fit. We will tell you honestly whether it is the right piece for your body right now — and if it is not, we will tell you that too.
We would rather you feel certain before you order than quietly disappointed when it arrives.
