FAQ
"Are there rules according to age?"
No – there are guidelines. Choose cuts and fabrics that serve your silhouette and daily needs.
"Solid color or print?"
Solid colors elongate, prints add character. Balance: print on one part + neutral on the other.

Compare your measurements with the size chart. For elastic fabrics, you can go down half a size; for non-elastic, choose the more comfortable fit.
