Our Sizing Philosophy

It’s time to celebrate the size you were born to be
A woman is not Large because of what a brand has chosen to write on her label. What does Large even mean these days when standard sizing has become more about vanity than reality?  

A woman is the size she is, and this is what we wish to celebrate at Ebony & Ivory. We wanted a new name for sizes, being a Small or a Medium just wasn’t enough to describe a single source of female power. 
What could possibly be used to empower a woman to fill the room with her strength, her entire body and mind? And then the decision was made, At Ebony & Ivory, you will not only be a size large, you will be the size of a large country. 
 For bra sizes, your bust and underbust measurements will be matched with the sizes of African countries. For panties, your hip and waist measurements will be compared to the Caribbean islands. 
 Take a moment to connect with your body now and get to know the shape and size that is the true you. Grab a measuring tape, undress right down to your underwear, and follow our guide on how to collect your measurements.
