Alice founded The Female Archetypes from her personal experience of navigating how her body changed through pregnancy and postpartum. Each piece is designed to adapt with the wearer, crafted in London sustainably with high-quality materials and thoughtful construction. Each piece adjusts between sizes 10-18 through panels, hidden zips and poppers so they adjust to you depending on your needs today.
Jeans
The hidden waist adjustment allows the jeans to change between sizes (size range dependent on cut). This is done through pleats that can be opened up or closed with poppers. This mechanism is concealed by a waistband, so it is not visible what size the jeans are set to.
Blazer
From boardroom meetings to evening plans, our Blazer effortlessly transforms your look. Customise your fit with three interchangeable side panels, easily swapped through discreet underarm zips for the perfect balance of comfort and style.
Shirt
The overshirt is designed to evolve to suit your needs through a panel system on the side seams. Depending on the size you feel you need on the day, you can select and insert one of three panels. The panels, front closure and cuffs are all closed with poppers so that the shirt is considerate to your level of finger dexterity.
Trench Coat
The Trench coat is designed for all seasons and all stages of life. Depending on the size you feel you need on the day, you can select and insert one of three panels on the side seams to suit your needs.
Dress
Our adjustable dresses feature our signature pleat-and-popper system at the waist, allowing you to instantly let the fabric out or cinch it in. For a seamless finish, the adjustment system is hidden beneath an elegant waistband, ensuring a perfect silhouette in every size setting.
