Size guide

The best way to find your correct size is to get the size of your daywear clothing and then check it against our chart below. We make it easy by making our garments X-Small, Small, Medium, Large or X-Large. For example if you're a Size 12 then we recommend a Medium.

The greatest thing about buying sleepwear online is that you can't go wrong with sizing if you follow this chart. Papinelle sleepwear is designed with 'easy-fit' features such as elastic waistbands or adjustable straps to ensure that they fit a majority of figure types.

If you want to double-check your size take a moment to measure yourself and then use these measurements to choose the correct Papinelle size for you.

Papinelle takes great care in ensuring all sizes are to New Zealand standards and corresponding to the size chart below.

MEASURING TIPS:

Measure the fullest part of the bust and hips. Keep the tape measure firm, but not tight and measure over your undergarment.

HOW TO MEASURE:

  • Bust: Measure around the upper body, under the armpits and over the fullest part of your bust.
  • Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your waist, and bend to one side to find the natural crease of your waistline.
  • Hips: measure around the fullest / widest part of your hips.

    Girly Frilly Silky

    The back cut is what makes these britches so dang cute! It’s so flattering and a little skimpy but not uncomfortable and overly cheeky. These are so lightweight, barely there and the ruffled edges just top it off in the feminine dept.

    Silk knicker

    These are the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn and the fabric is so soft. I only have complaint. It would be awesome if the stores stocked white and cream colour all the time or at least remake a run of them each year - I ruined my white and cream pair washing them with the red pair by accident and now they are pink and I can’t replace them, very frustrating. In my opinion white, cream and black should be always available. Also bras need to be made as patterned sets for all of the fun prints, eg: checked underwear could have had a matching little bralette.

    Hi Melanie,

    Thank you for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that the Audrey Washable Silk Knickers are the most comfortable underwear you've ever worn!

    We completely understand your frustration about the white and cream colours not being consistently available, and we're so sorry to hear about the washing mishap that turned them pink! Your feedback about keeping these colours as permanent staples is valuable, and we'll pass this along to our team. We love your suggestion about creating matching bralettes for our fun prints - what a great idea!

    Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. ❤️
