The ultimate curvy size guide: how to choose your perfect size
Choosing the right size shouldn't be a headache.
Even less so when it comes to curvy fashion, where every body is unique and curves are as individual as you are.
At QNK Mia, we design each garment with real women in mind: with hips, bust, arms, waist... bodies that move, live, and need clothes that accompany them, not restrict them.
That's why we've created this definitive guide to finding your perfect size, step by step, without complications and with tricks that will make your life much easier.
What does "curvy size" really mean?
Curvy size is not just "a large size":
👉 It's a sizing designed to adapt to areas where standard fashion often fails:
- Arms
- Bust
- Waist
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Thighs
- Back
At QNK Mia, we offer curvy sizes ranging from approx. 44 to 56, depending on the design and elasticity of each garment.
How to take your measurements correctly
Here's the most reliable—and simplest—way to find out your exact size:
1️⃣ Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Tip: lower your arms for an accurate measurement.
2️⃣ Waist
Measure at the narrowest part (usually just above your belly button).
3️⃣ Hip
Measure around the fullest part of your hips/buttocks.
4️⃣ Length
Only for dresses, jackets, or long sweaters:
Measure from the shoulder to where you want the garment to fall.
💛 QNK Tip: if you're between two sizes, always choose the one that gives you more comfort. Curvy clothes look better when you feel good in them.
How to choose your perfect size according to the garment
✔️ Curvy sets
Our sets are designed for women from size 44 to 54.
They are usually elastic, with elasticized waists and loose cuts.
Perfect if you want comfort + style without worrying about the fit.
Examples:
✔️ Sweaters and sweatshirts
These are garments that always flatter curvy figures, especially if:
- They have a flowy drape
- They are soft
- They don't highlight the tummy
- They have comfortable sleeves
Our best-sellers like the Brooklyn Sweater or the Milan Sweater fit sizes from 44 to 56.
✔️ Trousers
This is where a good pattern makes the most difference.
At QNK Mia, we use:
- High waist
- Elasticated back or full elastic waist
- Flowy fabric
- Straight or flared cuts
This ensures that the trousers don't pinch the tummy or emphasize the hips.

Extra tips for always getting your curvy size right
⭐ Tip 1: Always consider elasticity
An elastic fabric can give you a margin of 1 or 2 sizes.
⭐ Tip 2: Look at the body shape, not the number
Some garments look better due to their shape, regardless of the size on the label.
⭐ Tip 3: Observe the length
If you are short, opt for straight cuts.
If you are tall, flared styles are more flattering.
⭐ Tip 4: Don't be afraid of the larger size
What matters is how it fits you, not the number.
A comfortable garment ALWAYS looks better.
