Size Guide

Finding the right fit matters — especially when you’re ordering riding shirts, performance tops, or wearable art made for real horse life.

Nadine & Ripley apparel is designed to be comfortable, wearable, and flattering, but sizing can vary slightly depending on the product style and production partner. Please always check the size chart on the individual product page before ordering.

How to Choose Your Size

For the best fit, compare your measurements to the size chart listed on the product page.

I recommend measuring:

  • Bust/chest

  • Waist

  • Hips

  • Sleeve length, if listed

  • Shirt length, if listed

Use a soft measuring tape and measure over light clothing. If your measurements fall between two sizes, I usually recommend sizing up, especially if you prefer a looser fit for riding, barn chores, layering, or hot-weather comfort.

Riding Fit vs. Fitted Look

If you want a closer, more athletic fit, choose the size closest to your body measurements.

If you prefer a more relaxed riding fit, or you do not like fabric sitting tight across your chest, stomach, or shoulders, sizing up is usually the safer choice.

For long days at the barn, trail rides, shows, hauling, or layering, a little extra room is often more comfortable.

Made-to-Order Reminder

Many Nadine & Ripley apparel items are made to order, which means your shirt is created after your order is placed.

Because of this, please double-check your selected size before checkout.

Need Help Choosing?

If you are unsure which size to order, please contact me before purchasing. I am happy to help you compare your measurements to the product size chart.

When reaching out, please include:

  • The product name

  • Your bust/chest measurement

  • Your waist measurement

  • Your usual shirt size

  • Whether you prefer a fitted or relaxed riding fit

I would much rather help you choose before you order than have you stuck with something that does not feel right.

✔ Made to order in approximately one business week before shipping.

Yes — this is a real wearable performance shirt.

The artistic lifestyle images throughout this listing are designed to help you imagine different ways to style the piece, but the actual product is the performance quarter-zip shown in the product photos and mockups.

Each shirt is made to order, meaning it is created specifically for you after purchase rather than sitting in a warehouse. This allows me to reduce waste while continuing to create a growing collection of original artwork.

I am continually adding real-world photos, riding videos, and close-up fabric details as each design is photographed outdoors.

From the saddle to the seaside.

Designed for riding, hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking, travel, gardening, fishing, beach days, and every sunny adventure in between.

Thank you for supporting a small artist-owned business. ❤️


Nadine & Ripley Signature Collection

Moonthorn Nocturne™

Celestial Shadows. Forgotten Legends. A Wild Heart Beneath the Stars.

"Some stories are written in ink. Others are hidden among the stars."

Some patterns are meant to be noticed.

Others are meant to be discovered.

Moonthorn Nocturne™ was created for the riders who find beauty in forgotten places — ancient forests, quiet trails, midnight skies, and the mysterious connection between horses and the natural world.

At first glance, the design reveals a deep celestial landscape of midnight indigo, smoky plum, antique gold, shadowed botanicals, and moonlit details.

But look closer...

…and the hidden story begins to appear.

Within the mist, filigree, and celestial markings are ghostlike horses woven into the artwork like memories from another time. Their forms drift between roses, constellations, moon phases, and ancient star maps — never demanding attention, but always waiting to be discovered.

A passing silhouette beneath the stars.

A mane disappearing into the mist.

A companion remembered from a journey long ago.

The horses are not placed on the design.

They are part of it.

Like faded illustrations found inside an old explorer’s journal, they appear and vanish among the celestial landscape.

The front panel combines antique-gold astrolabe details, moonlit roses, celestial maps, and subtle equine forms emerging from the darkness. Every section of the shirt reveals another small piece of the story.

Turn the shirt around...

…and the legend continues.

The back features a central celestial relic surrounded by ornate filigree, roses, moon phases, and a shadowed horse emerging from the night. The composition resembles a forgotten emblem discovered inside an ancient observatory — a place where riders once recorded the movements of horses and stars together.

Across the sleeves, the artwork continues with hidden lunar details, botanical vines, celestial instruments, and atmospheric horse forms woven throughout the pattern.

The result is not simply a horse print.

It is a world.

A place where wild horses travel beneath constellations, roses grow through forgotten ruins, and every rider carries a little bit of mystery into the open air.


The Story Behind the Artwork

For centuries, humans have looked to the night sky for guidance.

Stars marked journeys across oceans.

The moon guided travelers through darkness.

Ancient civilizations recorded celestial movements in their search for understanding, direction, and meaning.

And beside humanity’s greatest journeys was always the horse.

A companion.
A guide.
A symbol of movement between worlds.

Moonthorn Nocturne™ imagines a forgotten archive where these two forces were recorded together — a place where celestial maps, botanical studies, and equine legends were preserved beneath the glow of the moon.

The artwork tells the story of a rider discovering this hidden collection of knowledge.

Among the pages are drawings of horses that seem almost alive.

Among the maps are paths that lead somewhere unknown.

Among the flowers and stars are memories waiting to be uncovered.

The horses within the design are intentionally subtle. They appear as echoes rather than portraits — fragments of movement, spirit, and connection woven into the surrounding artwork.

They represent the horses that carry us through adventures.

The ones who teach us patience.

The ones who become part of our stories.

Moonthorn Nocturne™ exists in the space between elegance and wilderness — where cultivated beauty meets untamed spirit, and where every trail has the possibility of becoming a legend.
