Viktor & Rolf Size Guide: Letter Sizes to UK, US, EU and IT, the Six Fits, Measurements

Viktor & Rolf ready-to-wear is cut in letter sizes and runs true to size. Luxury Handbags lists all 191 pieces in seven sizes, XXS to XXL; the house’s own core run is XS to XL, so the two outer sizes are the ones to check stock on first. The runway and e-commerce model is between 172 and 180 cm and wears an S in every piece we carry, which makes the S the reference size for the measurements below. This guide gives the letter-to-number conversion for the UK, US, EU, France and Italy, the six fits the house describes, the garment measurements we hold for the size S by category, and the pieces where you should size up. It is written from the house’s size and fit guide and from Luxury Shoes ’s product data.

Key facts

• Sizes: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL at Luxury Shoes ; the brand’s main run is XS to XL.
• Fit: true to size across the range; size up only for a fitted piece you want to wear loose.
• Model: 172 to 180 cm, wears an S in every piece.
• Fits named by the house: regular, oversized, boxy, loose, slim and fitted, stated on each product page.
• Measurements: Luxury Handbags holds size S garment measurements (bust, waist, hips, length, inseam) on the product pages that list them.

Size conversion

Use the table as a starting point. If you are between two sizes, the house’s advice is to take the size for the fit you want: your usual size for the intended line, the size up for more room through the body. The conversion is the standard European letter ladder; it is not a promise about any single garment, so read the fit name and the measurements on the product page too.

The six fits

The house describes six fits for its ready-to-wear and names one on each product. Regular is a standard silhouette with a little extra length that does not taper from chest to waist: the poplin tops/shirt/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">shirts, the shirt dresses and the multi-layered pieces. Oversized is cut with extra room and no body definition: the crinkle oversized shirt, the Mackintosh raincoats, the balloon coat. Boxy is straight with overcut shoulders: the couture square t-shirts, the square blazer, the square coat. Loose is cut with excess fabric through the body: the balloon trousers and jeans through the thigh. Slim hugs the body: the drape body, the tanks, the tulle lace tops. Fitted is tighter through the torso than slim: the corset gowns and mini dresses, the bustier and corset tops, the pencil skirts.

Garment measurements for a size S

The wide ranges are the signatures at work: a bust of 154 cm on a top is the Volant Organza Jacket in Black style of volume, a hip of 192 cm on a trouser is a balloon leg, and a chest of 188 cm on a coat is the Balloon Wool Coat in Black. The typical numbers are the ones to compare against your own: a 86 cm bust and 70 cm waist on a size S top is a true UK 8 and US 4. A size S waist of 68 to 72 cm on the dresses is where the fitted corset pieces sit, so measure yourself before ordering a corset gown.

Where to size up, and where not to

Size up if you are between sizes on: the corset gowns (Bow Volant Corset Gown in Black, Corset Volant Gown in Off White), the corset mini dresses, the Bow Volant Bustier Top in Black and the volant corset tops, and the bow volant pencil skirts. These are fitted, boned at the bodice and do not stretch. Stay true to size on: the shirts, shirt dresses and multi-layered pieces (regular), the tanks and the Drape Body in Black (stretch jersey), the tulle lace pieces (slip-lined) and the knitwear (mohair and alpaca with give). Do not size down on the oversized pieces: the balloon trousers, the raincoats and the crinkle shirt are cut wide by design, and a smaller size shortens them without slimming them.

Jeans and trousers

Viktor & Rolf jeans are letter-sized, not inch-sized. A size S corresponds to a 70 cm waist, roughly a 27 to 28 inch waist, with a 77 cm inseam, about 30 inches. The balloon jeans measure up to 192 cm at the hip in an S because of the leg volume; the bootleg and straight-fit five-pocket jeans are closer to a conventional 97 to 107 cm hip. The jeans and denim guide explains the four cuts; the trousers guide covers the balloon, triangle, circle, dragged and sleeve-tie trousers.

Returns if the size is wrong

Coveti’s exchange and returns terms are set out in the Luxury Handbags FAQ. The house’s own store offers free returns within 14 days with the identification tag and disposable seal attached; keep both on until you have tried the piece. For fit questions on a specific product, the measurements on each Luxury Handbags product page are the final word.
