What Is Skylar Rose Sizing Like? Here's What You Need to Know Before You Buy

Skylar Rose has become a go-to for feminine, effortless dressing — but getting the sizing right first time is a whole different story. I've done the research so your returns bag stays empty.

Skylar Rose is a womenswear brand founded in 2018, stocked widely on ASOS and at boutique retailers like The Cool Hour, known for its romantic silhouettes, floaty dresses, and easy-to-wear separates that sit somewhere between so-Cal cool and London-edge chic.

If you've spotted something from Skylar Rose and you're wondering whether to stay in your usual size or hedge your bets with a size up, you're in the right place. I'm Ella Blake, and sorting out exactly this kind of sizing puzzle is what I do — so let's get into it.

SO, DOES SKYLAR ROSE RUN TRUE TO SIZE?

The short answer: generally, yes — Skylar Rose runs true to size for most of its range. Their description even acknowledges it: the brand advises staying in your usual size for most styles, with a nudge to size up only if you're deliberately going for an oversized silhouette.

That said, I'll be honest — "true to size" from a brand like this can still mean a couple of things depending on the cut. Their dresses and tops use quite relaxed, floaty silhouettes as a starting point, so what you get at your correct size can still feel quite loose and free-flowing. If you prefer a more defined fit, you may want to factor that in when ordering.

💡 Ella's tip: For jersey and woven dresses, stick to your usual size. For any piece described as "oversized" or "relaxed fit," that's exactly what it means — don't be tempted to size down thinking it'll just be a normal fit. It won't.

SKYLAR ROSE DRESSES — SIZING BREAKDOWN

Dresses are really the bread and butter of Skylar Rose, and this is where I've found their sizing most consistent. Whether it's their lace-tiered off-shoulder maxis or their lighter-weight day dresses, the fit tends to follow standard UK sizing fairly accurately.

Floaty & tiered maxi dresses: True to size. The bodice fits well and the skirt is generous, so no need to size up unless you're between sizes and prefer more room across the back.
Fitted or wrap-style dresses: If the dress has any kind of structure or waist definition, check your bust measurement against the size chart before ordering — structured pieces leave less room for error.
Off-shoulder styles: These can vary a little. If you're larger across the shoulders or chest, consider going up a size for comfort.
Mini dresses: True to size, but do bear in mind these are cut short — if you're above average height, account for that before ordering.

I once made the mistake of sizing down in a floaty Skylar Rose midi dress because I thought "true to size" was going to be fitted. It wasn't — the dress was designed to be relaxed and I ended up with something that pulled across the hips while being baggy everywhere else. Lesson learned: read the silhouette description, not just the size label.

SKYLAR ROSE TOPS — WHAT TO EXPECT

Their tops cover everything from blouses and knits to casual relaxed styles, and again, the sizing is fairly consistent with what you'd expect from a standard UK size.

Blouses & woven tops: True to size. These tend to have a relaxed, easy fit, so even if you're between sizes, your usual will work well.
Knits & sweaters: Skylar Rose knitwear tends to be soft and roomy. If you like a close fit, you may want to size down; otherwise, your usual size will give you that relaxed, thrown-on look they're known for.
Crop tops & shorter styles: True to size, though worth checking the listed length if you're particularly tall or short.

💡 Ella's tip: Some customer reviews do note that certain tops with less stretch run slightly small — if you're between sizes and ordering a structured top, going up one size is the safer call.

SKYLAR ROSE SKIRTS — SIZING NOTES

Skylar Rose skirts often lean into the same floaty, romantic aesthetic as their dresses — think tiered midis and flowing maxis rather than pencil skirts.

Tiered & midi skirts: True to size. The waistband and hip measurements tend to be accurate. If you're pear-shaped, you might want to check the hip measurement specifically, as some styles can be quite straight-cut through the hips.
Elasticated waist styles: Very forgiving — true to size or even size up if you prefer a higher rise or more hip room.
Mini & casual skirts: True to size. Relaxed enough to be forgiving across sizes.

MY HONEST VERDICT ON SKYLAR ROSE SIZING

Here's my takeaway after digging into the reviews and size information: Skylar Rose is a reliable true-to-size brand for the majority of shoppers. The silhouettes are designed to be relaxed and easy-wearing, which naturally makes the fit quite forgiving. If you're a straight size 10, a size 10 will fit you.

The one caveat is that "true to size" here means you get the silhouette as designed — and that silhouette is often generously cut. If you're used to wearing more fitted styles and you don't want to swim in your clothes, either size down or look for pieces described as "fitted" or "tailored" in the product details.

If you're between sizes? Size up. The fabrics are relaxed enough that going up won't look shapeless, and you'll be far more comfortable.
