The design story
This is the pair the studio started with: a plain, honest compression jersey cut in six panels, made so that a student could buy one pair and have it match every top and headband we dye.
We keep it in the range because it does something the seamless knit cannot — the panels let us shape the seat and the waist for very different bodies without changing the knit itself.
Every colour in the set is dyed in the same batch as the wrap bras, so a full set reads as one tone rather than two near-misses.

What to pick for your height
150–160 cm (4'11"–5'3")
Usually wears XS–S
Your usual sizeAnkle length will sit slightly long — it gathers at the ankle rather than dragging.
Usually wears M–L
Your usual sizeExpect a little extra length at the ankle; the high rise sits above the natural waist.
161–170 cm (5'3"–5'7")
Usually wears XS–S
Your usual sizeThis is the height the samples are fitted on — true to size.
Usually wears M–XL
Your usual sizeTrue to size. Size down only if you want firmer compression.
171–178 cm (5'7"–5'10")
Usually wears XS–S
Size up if between sizesThe rise stays high; the hem lands just above the ankle bone.
Usually wears M–XL
Your usual sizeHem sits at the ankle. Choose the larger size for a longer leg line.
179 cm and above (5'10"+)
Usually wears XS–M
Size upSizing up adds 2 cm of inseam and keeps the rise where it should sit.
Usually wears L–XL
Your usual sizeThe hem reads as a cropped ankle length at this height.
Fit notes
- Between two sizes? Size down for firmer compression, size up for a softer, more relaxed hold.
- The seamless and ribbed pairs stretch further than the second-skin jersey — take your usual size in both.
- The hand dip-dyed ombré pair is cut on the seamless block, so it fits the same as the scrunch seamless.
- Measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hip at the fullest, with the tape level and not pulled tight.
- Every pair is squat-tested for opacity in the size we recommend — sizing down past your measurements can make pale colourways sheer.
