LaPointe is cut on US sizing at source, so if you usually shop UK and EU labels the numbers can look unfamiliar. Here is how it maps, and how the different cuts actually fit, so you can buy with confidence.

LaPointe size conversion: US to UK to EU

Luxury Handbags lists LaPointe on the standard UK ladder. Use this to translate from the brand’s US origin sizing.

Letter-sized styles run XXS to XXL. For those, take your usual letter size.

How the cuts fit

Tailored pieces like the satin blazers sit close to the body through the shoulder. If you are between sizes and want room to layer, size up one. Draped and bias styles, including the satin trousers and slip gowns, run softer and skim rather than cling, so take your usual size. Jersey and relaxed satin have natural give, so your standard size is right.

A few fit notes

Gowns are cut long and many are floor-sweeping, so consider your heel height before hemming. Feather-cuff sleeves are designed to sit at the wrist with the trim extending past it. Sequin mesh has a little stretch, which helps across the bust and hip.
