Kozan's recommended body measurements (not garment measurements).
Kozan runs true to size to slightly generous — but it depends on the style. Tunics, jackets, and dresses are intentionally relaxed and forgiving; pants depend on the fabric and silhouette.
General size reference: XS 2–4 · S 6–8 · M 10–12 · L 12–14 · XL 16–18 · 1X 20–22 · 2X 22–24 (individual styles vary). Our selection ranges XS–3X depending on style, plus some One Size pieces.
Vilma's advice: don't automatically size up because a garment looks unusual on the hanger. Kozan uses volume, draping, and asymmetry as part of the design — start with your normal size, then look at the specific cut and fabric. Flowing tunics and relaxed jackets give plenty of room; for fitted pants and tops, check the measurements and stretch.
