Measuring Guide

• How To Measure

  We try provide both garment measurements and body measurements where possible, with the primer listed on the product page. Please note that you will find garment and body measurements differ from each other – this is to ensure the desired garment fit, whether relaxed or slim, without feeling too tight.

  To get the most accurate Temperley size, we recommend you measure your bust, hip and waist to compare with the sizing guide below. Please note your typical garment size may not be equal to your recommended Temperley size.

  Our friendly team also welcomes garment measurement requests and is happy to guide you to the perfect fit.

  

  Bust – The fullest part of the bust (keep measuring tape horizontal)

  Low hip – The fullest part of your hips at the top of your legs

  Shoulder – From shoulder tip to shoulder tip

  Waist – The slimmest part of your natural waistline: above your navel and below your ribcage

• Care & Alterations

  We wish for you to treasure your Temperley London pieces for life.
  To keep them looking their very best please follow our cleaning guide and care tips.

  General Care

  Ensure you read the care label and cleaning instructions before attempting to clean.

  By following the instructions on the care label you will keep your clothes looking their very best for longer.

  Always iron on the reverse in accordance with the care label.

  Alterations

  Temperley London does not currently provide an alterations service online. We recommend you visit one of our Boutiques for guidance, or take your pieces to a reputable local tailor. Please contact our Customer Care Team should you require advice regarding alteration in your area.

  Evening & Embellished

  Your evening and embroidered pieces will be delicate. To protect your exclusive Temperley London embroidery we recommend you hang your garment within a protective garment bag or cover to avoid it catching on other items.

  Leather

  Treat leather, suede or sheepskin with a reputable leather and suede protector. You may find it preferable to invest in a suede brush and give your suede a brush from time to time. This will keep the nap looking fresh.

  Dry Cleaning

  We recommend you take your pieces to reputable specialist dry cleaners that will tend to the garments with our recommended methods.

  Hand Wash

  Please refer to the care label for specific hand wash instructions for your garments.

  Make sure you use the correct water temperature and if unsure use a cooler temperature. Do not soak for prolonged periods and rinse until the water runs clear.

  Knitwear

  To keep your Temperley London knits and jersey in good shape we recommend you fold to store.

  Bridal

  Each Temperley Bridal dress is handcrafted individually and uses delicate fabric, embroideries and lace.

  Custom bridal gowns are delivered in a garment bag. Please note Bridal Ready To Wear sold online is shipped as per our usual Ready To Wear collections.

  If you wish to clean your dress after your special day we recommend you take your dress to a reputable specialist dry cleaner.
