Fuller Fillies Sizes

16 Plus Rider has noticed that customers often order Fuller Fillies products in a larger size than they need. This may well be because you are used to, say, a company stating a garment is 34", and in fact, when you measure it with a tape measure, it's a 32" with some stretch. When Fuller Fillies say 34", that's what they mean! If you measure the waistband with a tape measure it will be 34" Then, on top of that, the fabric has a further 6" of stretch. Please keep this in mind when selecting which size to order.

Here is further information direct from Fuller Fillies:

As there is no UK-wide benchmark for ladies' clothing sizes, Fuller Fillies collated information from over 600 ladies to establish their own size standard to which all patterns would be made; thereby, once you have established your size in the Fuller Fillies range, all you have to consider is the fabric content when making your purchase. To help you decide what size you are please read the chart below.

Tops and Jackets are sold by UK Dress Size, as above, as a rule, our 16 in the UK is an American/Canadian 14.

Depending on the garment, an amount of 'room' is built into the pattern on top of this, ranging from 8% on tailored garments to 22% on comfort-fit items; please read the information given on each item before making a purchase if you cannot try the garment on.

Jodhpurs and Breeches are sold in waist sizes; all Fuller Fillies legwear has at least 6" of stretch at the waistband so, to find your correct size, measure your waist, knock 6" off and order that size, (so if you have a 40" waist, order size 34")

As research shows that around 85% of 'plus-sized' ladies are between 5'4'' and 5'7'' Fuller Fillies clothing is made to these specifications. However, many garments will suit taller, longer-limbed ladies and some Jodhpur/Breeches ranges can be made to order with longer or shorter legs; please consult 16 Plus Rider to discuss.

Fuller Fillies does have plans to launch a 'long/tall' range very soon, and jods/breeches in 40" will be available in the Autumn!
