Office Affair: Size Guide with the Kittens of Kitten D'Amour!

Four Kittens. One Collection.


One of the loveliest things about a new Kitten D'Amour release is seeing how differently each woman wears it.


Some love a little extra room for layering, others prefer a beautifully tailored fit, and sometimes the same dress can become a completely different look depending on who's wearing it.


To help you find your perfect fit, Kate, Jackie, Mandie and Leila have each shared their honest thoughts on the pieces they wore, including the sizes they chose, how each garment felt, and any little styling tips they discovered along the way.


We hope it makes choosing your new favourites just a little bit easier.

Kate Kitten Wears...

Height: 165cm

Measurements: Bust 113cm, Waist 92cm, Hip 116cm

Usually Wears: Size 14

'Office Affair' Corset:

I'm wearing the XL in the corset, and I absolutely loved the fit. The steel boning in this corset is incredible. It creates amazing support, definition and shape while still feeling surprisingly comfortable to wear. I'm a 14E bust, and found the XL to be a great fit. If you're fuller busted than I am, I'd recommend sizing up to the XXL. The waist cinch naturally lifts and shapes the bust, so you'll really appreciate that little bit of extra room through the top. This was my favourite look from the collection!


'Office Affair' Classic Belted Skirt:

I absolutely love this skirt I'm normally a full-skirt girl, so this silhouette was a really fun change. It beautifully highlights your natural shape, especially through the hips, while still feeling comfortable to wear.

I preferred the size 14, but if you'd like a little more room through the tummy, you could comfortably size up without losing the lovely shape of the skirt.

And this blouse... every wardrobe needs one! It's one of those timeless pieces you'll find yourself reaching for again and again because it works back with almost everything.


'Office Affair' Coat:

The rich grape colour is even more beautiful in person! I chose the size 14 because I wanted enough room to comfortably layer through winter. If I was planning to wear it open over lighter outfits, I'd probably choose the 12, but for everyday wear the 14 was definitely the better choice for me. I also loved the sneaky side seam pockets. They're completely bulk-free and so handy without interrupting the beautiful silhouette.


'Office Affair' Lace Dress:

I'm wearing the size 14. I absolutely adore this dress. The light boning through the bodice gives beautiful support, particularly if you're fuller-busted. I felt secure, supported and beautifully shaped without feeling pushed up or spilling over the neckline.

It's one of those dresses that instantly makes you feel put together the moment you zip it up.


For anyone wondering, I always wear two petticoats with my full-skirted dresses because I love that extra volume and dramatic vintage silhouette.


'Office Affair' Blazer:

I'm wearing the size 14 in the blazer. I love pairing a beautifully tailored blazer with a full skirt. I'm definitely a two-petticoat girl, so I'm always looking for pieces that really highlight the waist. I also love adding one of our bow belts over the top to create even more definition.


I found myself between the 12 and the 14 in this blazer. While the 12 fitted, it was quite firm through the body and realistically wouldn't have been as comfortable for all-day wear or layering. The shoulders fitted beautifully in both sizes, but the 14 gave me the movement and comfort I wanted while still keeping that gorgeous tailored shape.

Leila Kitten Wears...

Height: 168cm

Measurements: Bust 101cm, Waist 76cm, Hip 108cm

Usually Wears: Size 12


'Office Affair' Blouses:

I'm wearing the size 12 in both the Office Affair Stripe Blouse and the Classic Blouse in Black. The fabric is beautifully soft and has a lovely amount of stretch, making it incredibly comfortable to wear. I could have sized down for a firmer, more fitted look, but I really liked having a little extra room in the 12.


One of my favourite features is the adjustable tie at the back. If you're fuller busted and prefer to size up for extra room through the bust, you can still cinch the waist in beautifully for a really flattering shape.


'Office Affair' Corset:

I'm wearing my usual size L in the Office Affair Corset. The fit was exactly what I was hoping for. It gives beautiful shape and support while still feeling comfortable enough to wear all day.


I especially love it layered over the blouse. It instantly creates that gorgeous vintage silhouette and pulls the whole outfit together.


Office Affair Belted Skirt (Stripe and Black):

I'm wearing the size 14 in both the 'Office Affair' Classic Belted Skirt and the 'Office Affair' Stripe Belted Skirt.

I chose to size up because I found the 12 clung a little more through my tummy than I personally prefer. As I was also wearing the corset underneath, the 14 allowed the skirt to drape more naturally without showing the outline of the boning.


The fabric has a lovely amount of stretch, so sizing up didn't affect the overall shape at all. I also adore the length. It's elegant, flattering and makes it so easy to transition from the office to dinner or an evening out.


'Office Affair' Lace Vest

I'm wearing the size 10 in the 'Office Affair' Lace Vest. I decided to size down because I wanted a more fitted look. While the design is quite generous through the body, I found the fabric itself has very little stretch, so it's worth thinking about the silhouette you'd like to achieve.


I absolutely love it layered over the blouse for a polished, more formal look, but I can also see myself wearing it on its own as a top through summer. And the colour... it's simply gorgeous!


'Office Affair' Pants (Grape)

I'm wearing the size 10 in the 'Office Affair' Grape Pants.

The waistband has a fantastic amount of stretch, so I was comfortable sizing down for the fit I wanted. The wide leg is incredibly flattering and the fabric feels beautifully silky against your skin. The rich grape colour is absolutely stunning in person and will pair effortlessly with so many other Kitten pieces already in my wardrobe.


Most importantly, they're unbelievably comfortable. They're the sort of pants you'll happily wear all day while still looking beautifully put together.

Jackie Kitten Wears...

Height: 164cm

Measurements: Bust 79cm, Waist 71cm, Hip 101cm

Usually Wears: Size 8


Office Affair Boardroom Dress:

I'm wearing the size 8 in the Office Affair Boardroom Dress, and I found it to be true to my usual size. The fabric is absolutely beautiful. It has a lovely drape and feels so soft and comfortable to wear. The flowing skirt and softly gathered sleeves really capture that elegant 1940s inspiration, making it one of those dresses that feels timeless the moment you put it on.


One of my favourite details is the V-collared neckline. The angled stripe design draws the eye beautifully and creates such a flattering, cinched silhouette.


Office Affair Stripe Blouse:

I'm wearing the size 8 in the Office Affair Stripe Blouse. This is such a versatile piece and one I know I'll be reaching for again and again. The removable tie adds a lovely vintage touch, and the fabric has just the right amount of stretch to keep it comfortable while still giving a beautiful shape.

I did try the size 6, but preferred the size 8 as it gave me a little more room through the arms without losing the tailored look.

I especially loved styling it with the Office Affair Lace Vest and the Grape Pants for a polished vintage-inspired outfit.


Office Affair Lace Vest:

I'm wearing the size 8 in the Office Affair Lace Vest. I absolutely adore this piece. The fit was perfect in my usual size, and I love that it's so versatile. It looks beautiful worn open or layered over the blouse, but I can also imagine wearing it on its own through the warmer months. And can we talk about the colour? Grape has officially become my new favourite! It's rich, elegant and adds such a fresh twist to a classic tailored vest.


Office Affair Belted Lace Wiggle Skirt:

I'm wearing the size 10 in the Office Affair Belted Lace Wiggle Skirt, and found it to be a perfect fit in my usual size. This skirt is simply stunning. The fitted waist flows beautifully into the fluted mermaid hem, creating such an elegant silhouette that feels wonderfully glamorous without sacrificing comfort.


It's one of those pieces that makes you stand a little taller the moment you put it on. I can see myself wearing it for everything from the office to dinner, and even those special occasions when you want to feel just that little bit fabulous.

Mandie Kitten Wears...

Height: 168cm

Measurements: Bust 102cm, Waist 77cm, Hip 110cm

Usually Wears: Size 10

Office Affair Button Front Dress:

I'm wearing the size 10 in the Office Affair Button Front Dress. Although this is the same cut as the lace dress, the fabric has a lovely amount of stretch, so I was very comfortable in my usual size. This is the perfect little black dress. It's elegant, comfortable and one of those timeless styles that you'll find yourself wearing again and again.


Office Affair Pants:

I'm wearing the size 10 in the Office Affair Pants. These pants are simply beautiful. The fabric is incredibly soft and drapes so nicely, giving them a really elegant look while still feeling wonderfully comfortable.

I especially love the elasticated back waistband. It makes them so easy to wear all day without compromising on the tailored fit.


Office Affair Vest:

I'm wearing the size 10 in the Office Affair Vest. The fit was perfect in my usual size. I love the way this vest is cut. It creates such a flattering shape while still feeling comfortable to wear. It's beautiful layered over the blouse, but I can also see myself wearing it on its own as the weather warms up. It's such a versatile piece.


Office Affair Corset:

I'm wearing the size L in the Office Affair Corset. I loved the fit in my usual corset size. It gave me a beautiful shape and definition while still feeling comfortable to wear.

One of my favourite ways to style it is layered over the Office Affair Stripe Blouse or Classic Blouse. It instantly creates that gorgeous cinched waist and adds a lovely vintage feel to the whole outfit.

It's such a versatile piece and one I know I'll be reaching for season after season.


Office Affair Blouse (Stripe and White):

I'm wearing the size 10 in the Office Affair Stripe Blouse. This is the perfect collared blouse and one I know I'll be reaching for all year round. The removable neck tie makes it so versatile, allowing you to change the look depending on the occasion.


I'll definitely be adding this style to my wardrobe in all three colours. It's one of those classic pieces that works beautifully with skirts, pants and layering pieces, making it a wonderful addition to any Kitten wardrobe.
