Aje Sizing Guide: Does Aje Run True to Size?
Short answer: Aje runs true to size in most of its range, so take your usual size. The label designs to Australian sizing, which matches UK sizing, and the fit is generous rather than tight. The detail below covers the size conversion and the handful of styles where the cut asks for a second thought.
Aje size conversion
Aje uses Australian numeric sizing. Australian and UK sizes are the same number, so an AU 10 is a UK 10. To reach US sizing, subtract four. To reach European sizing, add twenty-eight.
| Aje / AU | UK | US | EU |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 2 | 34 |
| 8 | 8 | 4 | 36 |
| 10 | 10 | 6 | 38 |
| 12 | 12 | 8 | 40 |
| 14 | 14 | 10 | 42 |
| 16 | 16 | 12 | 44 |
How Aje actually fits, by garment
Structured bodices and corsetry. The boned styles hold their shape and sit close through the waist. They are true to size, so keep your usual size for a fitted line, and size up only if you want ease across the bust.
Draped dresses and gowns. The fluid pieces, like the Violette bubble-hem maxi and the Clara maxi, are cut with room and fall from the body. Take your usual size and let the fabric do the work.
Knitwear. The fine-gauge knits such as the Province cardigan are true to size with a neat, close body. Size up one if you prefer a relaxed layer.
Denim. Aje denim is cut to the same AU numbers, not to an inch waist, so a denim AU 10 matches a dress AU 10. The rigid styles soften slightly with wear.
Choosing your size
If you are between sizes in a structured style, take the larger for comfort through the ribcage. For anything fluid, your usual size is right. Every product page at Luxury Handbags carries a per-size guide, so you can check the measurements before you commit.
