FAQ
Size & Fit Guide
Refer to the size chart on each product page, which includes measurements specific to that piece.
Additionally, we provide fit information (Fitted, Oversized, Relaxed, True to Size) to give you a sense of how the item is designed to drape or conform to your body.
If you’re between sizes, we recommend checking the item’s fit description. For a closer fit, choose the smaller size, and for a more relaxed fit, select the larger.
Our Customer Support team is also available to assist with sizing questions.
Each product page includes specific measurements for every available size within the SIZE GUIDE chart, helping you to make an informed choice based on your body measurements.
For the most accurate measurements, we recommend using a soft measuring tape and following these guidelines:
• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.
• Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, typically the narrowest part of your torso.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, about 8 inches below your waist.
We categorize our fits to give you more clarity on the style of each piece:
• Fitted: Close to the body, creating a tailored look.
• Oversized Fit: A looser silhouette for a laid-back style.
• Relaxed Fit: Offers room with a structured feel.
• True to Size: Fits as expected based on standard sizing.

Garment & Care
We pour our passion into every stitch, sourcing the finest fabrics such as wool, cashmere, leather, cotton and more. Each piece uses high-quality, often sustainably sourced materials.
Detailed information on fabrics and care instructions is available on every product page.
Each garment’s product page and care label provide the recommended cleaning method.
Be sure to check these details to ensure the longevity of your Rue Sophie pieces.
For items labeled Dry clean only, we recommend taking them to a professional dry cleaner to maintain fabric quality, structure, and color. Avoid at-home cleaning methods, as they may damage the garment.
Certain garments can be machine washed with care. For pieces labeled Machine wash cold in a mesh bag with like colors, follow these steps:
• Place the garment in a mesh laundry bag.
• Use a cold water setting and wash with similar colors.
• Do not use bleach.
• Line dry to maintain shape.
• If needed, use a cool iron to smooth out any wrinkles.
For delicate fabrics such as wool, cashmere, silk, leather, viscose, and poplin, we recommend dry clean only to preserve their quality, texture, and structure. Taking these pieces to a professional dry cleaner ensures they’re cared for properly.
For delicate items labeled Hand wash cold, please follow these guidelines:
• Gently wash by hand in cold water to protect the fabric.
• Avoid bleach or harsh detergents.
• Line dry to prevent stretching or distortion.
• Use a cool iron if needed to smooth any creases.
