Size Guide
Having wider hips/bottom and/or bust but yet a relatively smaller waistline (X-figure) is a very common silhouette for us women of African origins and women of color. As these proportions are not always taken into account in mainstream fashion, it is usually a struggle to get a size that fits right. At MEFIRE, sizing and fitting are very personal to the brand and we believe that all body shapes are unique and beautiful. This is why we developed an in-house size chart based on the highly rated Gabriel Pattern System using real data capturing the proportions mentioned above. For a start, the garments offered in this collection, are available in two body shapes shown. Scroll down to select your size!
