Sizing Notes
Models are wearing the following sizes:
- Image 1 model is a size 10 and wearing size S,
- Image 2 model is a size 12/14 and wearing size L.
I've based sizing as closely as possible on standard Australian sizing. My suggestion is if you usually wear a Medium (12) or Large (14), I recommend choosing that size.
Our size charts are a guide, fit can be personal—some prefer a firmer feel, others a looser fit. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out for advice.
Measurement Chart:
Our Ruffle Knickers are made from a beautiful woven fabric with no inherent stretch. However, they’re designed with elastic at the waistband and around the legs to ensure a soft, flexible fit. Because the fabric doesn’t stretch like our Base and Luxe underwear ranges, the sizing and fit feel different—so we’ve created this chart just for them.
Below you’ll find the relaxed flat measurement, the maximum waistband stretch, and the recommended high-hip measurement to help you choose the right size. If you’re between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, we suggest sizing up for added comfort.
| Size | Flat Waistband (cm) | Fits High-Hip of (cm) | Stretches Max Over Bum, Hips or Waist (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 54 | 89 | up to 95 |
| S | 60 | 94 | up to 100 |
| M | 64 | 99 | up to 105 |
| L | 68 | 104 | up to 110 |
| XL | 71 | 109 | up to 115 |
| 2XL | 75 | 114 | up to 120 |
And as always, if you're unsure which size is best for you, feel free to reach out—I'm always happy to help you find the right fit.

As a tiny brand, my business practices are so different—not just from large companies but even from other small businesses creating similar products.
For me, sourcing fabrics and trims means purchasing overflow materials—what bigger brands have left behind. It’s not quite “deadstock,” but it’s close. Many lingerie supplies require minimum orders of 10,000 units, so I work with what’s available—often organic or recycled materials that others have already chosen. While this can feel a little restrictive, it’s also incredibly rewarding to reduce waste and give surplus materials a new life in my designs.
What also makes me different is my hands-on approach. I’m not just designing; I’m involved in every aspect of my business. From choosing fabrics to perfecting fit, packing your orders, and even answering your emails, it’s all me! This level of personal connection means every piece you receive has been created with care, intention, and a commitment to sustainability.
Unlike many SMEs, my focus is on creating small, thoughtful collections that reflect timeless design and avoid the cycle of fast fashion. I don’t follow trends—I create pieces that last, both in quality and style.
Thank you for supporting me, Madonna, and my little brand, Eco Intimates. Your choice makes a huge difference, not just to me, but to the way we move towards a more ethical and sustainable fashion industry.
Warmly,
Madonna
