SIZING 

Our Body chains are not sized via basic sizing since the intention is that they drape to your lower back. Your height and waist size will affect the fit of the body chain. Please read the sizing below carefully.  If you are short go with the smaller size and if you are tall go with the bigger size. 

Neckline Chain length: 25.5"

Star Charm Length: 11"

 

Waist Chain Lengths:

S/M - 32" ( Fits T-Shirt size SM & M)

LRG - 40" (Fits T-Shirt size LRG & X-LRG)

X-LRG - 48" ( Fits T-Shirt size X-LRG & XX- LRG )

XX- LRG - 56" ( Fits T-Shirt size XX-LRG & XXX-LRG)

The Length measurement listed is the TOTAL length of the chain around the waist. For the correct fit you actually need it to be longer than your waist measurement. If you are unsure- you can test it out by cuting a string to length and draping it around.  Start at the bottom corner of ribs and drape- the bottom of the chain should rest at your lower back.  See the model picture for refrence.
