Performance starts with the right fit
Size Guide
Find a fit that supports movement without distraction. This guide brings together body measurements, garment intent, compression levels, and category-specific recommendations for Flowella performance apparel.
01
Measure close to the body over lightweight clothing. Keep the tape level, relaxed, and comfortably fitted without pulling it tight.
Designed around movement
Fit, Refined
Flowella sizing is designed around real movement rather than a static silhouette. Each product category balances support, flexibility, coverage, and layering space differently.
Movement Matters
Consider how you plan to wear the piece. High-intensity training may call for closer support, while commuting, recovery, and layering often benefit from a more relaxed fit.
Fabric Changes Fit
Stretch performance fabrics naturally contour the body. Weatherproof, insulated, and structured layers provide less stretch and may require additional room through the chest, shoulders, or hips.
Between Sizes
Choose the smaller size for a more sculpted, compressed feel. Choose the larger size for easier movement, softer shaping, or additional layering room.
Use a soft measuring tape
Measure Correctly
Stand naturally, keep your posture relaxed, and measure directly around the body. For the most useful result, record each measurement in both inches and centimeters before comparing it with the charts.
01
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape horizontal across your back and allow enough room to breathe normally.
02
Underbust
Measure directly beneath the bust around the ribcage. Keep the tape secure and level without compressing your skin.
03
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, usually the narrowest part of your torso. Avoid holding your breath or pulling the tape tight.
04
Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest point of your hips and seat, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
05
Inseam
Measure from the top of the inner thigh down to the desired hem point. Use a well-fitting pair of pants as a reference when needed.
06
Torso
For one-piece or longline styles, measure from the top of one shoulder, through the legs, and back to the same shoulder point.
Fit Tip
Recheck measurements after major training, body composition, or seasonal layering changes.
Core body measurements
Size Charts
These charts are general Flowella body-measurement references. Product construction and intended compression may create a closer or more relaxed wearing experience.
Tops, Bras & Layers
Use your bust as the primary measurement. For sports bras, compare both bust and underbust. For jackets and insulated layers, consider what you plan to wear underneath.

Do Not Pull Tight
A compressed tape can lead to choosing a size that feels restrictive.
Measure Twice
Repeat each measurement to confirm accuracy before selecting a size.
Use Product Intent
Compression and layering needs should guide your final decision.
Understand the wearing experience
Fit Scale
Flowella garments are designed with different levels of body contact. Use this scale to understand how a piece may feel before you move, train, travel, or layer.
Relaxed
Easy through the body with extra room for airflow, casual movement, recovery, or layering. Common in selected joggers and outerwear.
Regular
Follows the body without significant compression. Designed for versatile movement, daily wear, and balanced comfort.
Fitted
Close to the body with flexible shaping and secure movement. Common in performance tops, tanks, shorts, and everyday leggings.
Compressed
Sculpted and supportive with noticeable hold. Designed for high-output training, controlled movement, and reduced garment shifting.
Category-specific guidance
Product Fit
Every Flowella category has a different performance purpose. Use these notes together with your measurements to choose the most appropriate size and wearing experience.
01
Performance Tops
Designed for mobility through the shoulders and torso while remaining streamlined during movement.
- Use bust as your primary measurement.
- Size up for a relaxed training silhouette.
- Check sleeve and torso length preferences.
02
Sports Bras
Support depends on a stable underband, complete coverage, and straps that remain secure without digging.
- Compare bust and underbust measurements.
- The underband should feel secure and level.
- Size up if cup coverage feels compressed.
03
Training Tank Tops
Built to move freely through the arms and shoulders while maintaining clean coverage through the torso.
- Choose by bust and preferred body fit.
- Consider armhole depth and bra coverage.
- Size down only for a closer studio fit.
04
Performance Leggings
Designed to contour the waist, hips, and legs while supporting a stable, distraction-free range of motion.
- Use hip measurement as the main reference.
- Waistband should sit flat without rolling.
- Size up for softer compression and easier entry.
05
Training Shorts
Fit should remain secure through dynamic movement without restricting the thighs, seat, or hip flexors.
- Compare waist, hip, and thigh comfort.
- Consider preferred rise and inseam length.
- Size up for a roomier leg opening.
06
Weatherproof Jackets
Structured shells require enough space through the shoulders and chest for movement and optional layering.
- Measure over the layers you plan to wear.
- Check shoulder mobility and sleeve reach.
- Size up for midweight or insulated layers.
07
Thermal Layers
Thermal and insulated pieces work best when they sit close enough to retain warmth without limiting movement.
- Choose regular size for base-layer use.
- Size up when worn over another top.
- Avoid excessive compression around the chest.
08
Performance Joggers
Designed with controlled ease through the hips and thighs and a tapered shape toward the ankle.
- Use waist and hip measurements together.
- Choose larger for a relaxed seat and thigh.
- Review inseam for preferred ankle position.
09
Performance Sets
Coordinated sets should feel balanced across both pieces, even when your upper and lower body measurements fall into different sizes.
- Check both top and bottom measurements.
- Prioritize the more fitted component.
- Choose comfort over matching size labels.
When measurements differ
Choose Confidently
Bodies are not standardized. When your measurements span multiple sizes, use the garment’s purpose and your preferred wearing experience to make the final decision.
Bust and Waist Differ
For tops, bras, and jackets, prioritize the bust and shoulder area. A slightly roomier waist is usually more comfortable than restricted breathing or limited upper-body movement.
Waist and Hips Differ
For leggings, shorts, and joggers, prioritize your hip measurement. The waistband should remain secure, but the fabric should not become overstretched through the seat or thighs.
You Prefer Compression
Select the smaller size only when the fabric is designed for compression and your measurements remain within the stated range. Compression should feel supportive, never painful or restrictive.
You Plan to Layer
Choose additional room in jackets, insulated layers, and joggers when wearing base layers underneath. Measure while wearing a similar layer combination for a more realistic result.
You Want Everyday Ease
Choose the larger size for commuting, travel, recovery, or all-day wear. This provides softer shaping and additional movement without changing the intended performance character.
Sizing assistance
Fit Questions
Review the most common sizing questions before selecting your Flowella performance apparel.
What should I do when I am between two sizes?
Choose the smaller size for a closer, more compressed fit. Choose the larger size for additional comfort, softer shaping, or layering room. For fitted bottoms, use your hip measurement as the deciding reference.
Should sports bras feel tighter than regular tops?
A sports bra should feel secure through the underband and stable during movement, but it should not restrict breathing or create painful pressure. The band should remain level and the cup area should provide full coverage.
How should performance leggings fit at the waist?
The waistband should sit flat and remain secure through squats, running, stretching, and everyday movement. It should not roll, slide, create numbness, or require constant adjustment.
Should I size up in weatherproof jackets?
Choose your regular size for a streamlined fit over a lightweight top. Size up when you plan to wear thermal, fleece, or insulated layers underneath, especially if you prefer more shoulder mobility.
How do I choose a size for a performance set?
Compare the upper-body and lower-body charts separately. When one piece is designed with more compression, prioritize comfort in that component. Your ideal top and bottom size may not always be identical.
Can fabric stretch change the size I should choose?
Yes. High-stretch performance fabrics may feel closer while still allowing full movement. Structured shells, insulated fabrics, and weatherproof materials stretch less and may require additional room.
How often should I remeasure myself?
Remeasure whenever your body composition, training routine, or layering needs change. Measuring again before purchasing a new category can also improve accuracy because each product type fits differently.
