Size and Measurement Guide

The most important thing to understand about QNTL’s sizes is that they are not like most other brands, and we did this on purpose. In order to find the best size for you, we strongly recommend you find a measuring tape and take your measurements. If this feels strange or uncomfortable to you, please remember the measurements is only a tool to help you find your perfect QNTL size - they are not some judgments on you as a person. It's only a set of numbers. 

If you need help in finding your size, or have any questions, please contact help@qntl.se and we will happily assist you.

How to take your measurements
When you take your body measurements, it really helps having a large mirror so you can see what you’re doing. For all measurements, make sure the measurement tape is horizontal all around, without hiking up or down anywhere. Keep the tape flush against your skin without squeezing. 

Under bust width: Measure right under you bust, at the root of your breasts. If you are wearing a wire bra, put the measuring tape between your wires and your body at the front.  
Waist: Everyone has different options of where the waist is, and sometimes its not easy to determine exactly where it is. But we are interested in your natural waist and not where a pair of jeans would sit. The natural waist is just below the last rib, try bending side to side and you will see a crease - this is your natural waist! Its usually higher up then you think. 
Hip: The hip measurement is taken around the upper part of your hipbone. You can usually feel the hipbone easily, and its about 10cm or 4" below the natural waist.
Seat: The seat measurement is taken around the largest part of your bottom. This is usually quite low, around 20cm or 8" from the natural waist. Try turning sideways in front of the mirror, to see where your bum protrudes the most.

Our size and fit
Our products are made for a curvier silhouette with a fuller buttock, where the difference between waist and seat is bigger compared to many major retailers. However, we are not saying you need a perfect hourglass figure, or that your buttock needs to be plump like certain celebrities, to shop from us. As long as your hip measurement is smaller than your seat measurement, your waist is smaller than both and most of your body volume is on your butt, we got you covered. Instead of trying to make garments that doesn't fit anyone that well, we wanted to focus on one specific silhouette and make garments that fits that body really well. 

We are also launching QNTL even though our smallest sizes are not developed yet, because we believe there is less choice for larger sizes at the moment. Therefore, our current size range is L to 4XL. However, XS, S and M will be launched as soon as we are satisfied with the fitting. Our goal is also to add garment for other body shapes and silhouette in the future, but we start with this specific curvy silhouette because we feel this is needed the most right now.
