Does Ghost Clothing Run Big or Small? Fit, Sizing Guide & What to Buy
Author: Stylist and brand team at TellarDate: 2025
Ghost London is known for its effortlessly elegant, vintage-inspired silhouettes, soft satin fabrics, and timeless occasionwear. Whether you're shopping for a bridesmaid dress, floaty daywear or a fluid bias-cut gown, Ghost offers feminine designs for women who love comfort and understated luxury.
But does Ghost clothing run true to size? Are their dresses more forgiving or fitted than they look online? And which pieces are actually worth buying?
In this guide, we’ll break down how Ghost sizing really fits, what body shapes it suits best, and how you can use Tellar.co.uk to instantly find your ideal Ghost size based on your exact body measurements—free of charge.
Does Ghost Clothing Run Big or Small?
Ghost tends to run true to size, but it depends heavily on the fabric and cut. Many of Ghost’s signature dresses are made in bias-cut satin or viscose, which can feel clingy across the hips and bust. If you’re in between sizes or curvier in shape, you may find sizing up gives a better drape.
Key Fit Observations:
-
Generally true to UK sizing, especially in newer collections
-
Bias-cut dresses hug curves—size up if you prefer a looser fit
-
No built-in stretch – some styles feel snug through the bust or hips
-
Styles suit hourglass, slim, and petite frames best
-
Wrap styles offer the most adjustability
-
Tall women may find lengths on the shorter side in some midi styles
🟢 Tip: Ghost dresses often look flowy, but the cut can be quite fitted in practice. Use your body measurements on Tellar.co.uk for accurate sizing.

What Ghost Items Are Worth Buying?
Ghost specialises in wearable luxury. From bridesmaid gowns to effortless midi dresses, their styles are seasonless, elegant and surprisingly practical. Here’s what to look out for:
1. Bridesmaid & Wedding Guest Dresses
Ghost is renowned for its bridesmaid edit: soft pastel colours, cowl backs, and minimal elegance. Popular choices include the Salma, Claudia and Taylor dresses.
-
Fit tip: Bias-cut silk dresses run snug across the hips. If you’re pear-shaped, check your largest measurement using Tellar.co.uk before choosing a size.
2. Day Dresses & Workwear
Their crepe shirt dresses and button-through midi styles transition well from desk to dinner. The more tailored options tend to be true to size.
-
Fit tip: These are more forgiving than the formal satin styles—your Tellar profile will show if you're one size in occasionwear and another in everyday fits.
3. Wrap Dresses
The wrap designs, such as Avery or Renee, are some of the most versatile for different shapes. They adjust to the waist and often feature soft elastic underbust panels.
-
Fit tip: Best for hourglass and curvy figures. Ideal if you're unsure between two sizes.
4. Loungewear and Sleep Sets
Ghost’s luxe pyjama sets and slips are made in stretch-free satin, cut on the bias for a close fit.
-
Fit tip: These run small. Sizing up is often more comfortable for sleepwear or relaxed lounging.
Why Getting the Fit Right Matters with Ghost
Ghost’s minimalist design aesthetic depends on clean lines and flattering flow. An ill-fitting dress—especially one that’s too tight at the bust or too loose at the waist—can disrupt the intended silhouette.
That’s why Tellar.co.uk is the smarter way to shop:
-
📏 Precision sizing for fitted satin dresses
-
🔁 Instant access to your profile anytime
-
🎯 Largest measurement logic—Tellar uses your hips, bust or waist (whichever is most relevant) to choose your correct size
-
✅ Compare sizes across Ghost and other brands like Reiss, Whistles or Phase Eight
-
🔐 Safe, fast, free setup with no guessing required
Already Know Your Size in Another Brand?
If you usually wear a 12 in Whistles, 10 in Reiss, or 14 in ASOS, you can enter that into Tellar’s Brand Converter Tool and see how that translates to Ghost’s sizing.
This is especially helpful for events when you don’t have time to return or exchange.

Final Verdict: Is Ghost Sizing Reliable?
Yes, Ghost is consistent—but the nature of bias cuts and fitted satin styles means it’s not always forgiving. Those with fuller busts or hips may need to size up, especially in their signature slip dresses.
