Top length from the high point of the shoulder: 29–32", about ½" difference per size. These are IC Collection's estimated measurements; sizing may differ by style.
IC Collection runs generously. Missy sizes S–XXL run approximately 40"–50" in the bust, with a dedicated 1X–3X plus range (approximately 52"–56").
Vilma's advice for buying IC: buy by the garment's silhouette and your measurements — not the size you wear in other brands.
- Relaxed tunics & high-low styles: go with your bust measurement. Don't size up for stomach or hips — these pieces are designed to drape away from the body.
- Between sizes in a flowing top? Choose the smaller one; too much fabric can overwhelm.
- Structured jackets: watch the bust and shoulders if you'll button it. Open-front jackets are more forgiving.
- Pants: use actual waist and hip measurements — don't assume they're as roomy as the tops.
Compared to our other designers: IC fits the most generously — often consider one size smaller than expected in loose styles. Kozan is relaxed but more conventional (start with your normal Kozan size). Joseph Ribkoff is the most fitted (stay with your established Ribkoff size).
