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.

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 wearable 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
Sakura Wildheart™
Soft Blossoms. Wild Spirit. Born to Move.
"The blossoms may fall with the wind. The wild heart goes where it chooses."
There is something almost impossible about cherry blossoms.
For a brief moment, bare branches erupt into clouds of color.
Pink petals fill the air.
The landscape changes.
And then, almost as quickly as they appeared, the blossoms surrender themselves to the wind.
Sakura Wildheart™ was created from that beautiful contradiction.
Something delicate.
Something fleeting.
And something completely untamed.
Against a luminous white background, rich orchids and soft sakura blossoms sweep across the shirt in shades of violet, magenta, rose, blush pink, and watercolor blue.
At the center of the artwork is the horse.
Not posed among the flowers.
Not decorated by them.
Moving through them.
The blossoms seem to travel with the horse, scattering across the fabric like petals caught in the wake of something that refuses to stand still.
Look closer, and more pieces of the equestrian story begin to appear.
Silver horseshoes.
A bit nestled among orchids.
A stirrup half-hidden beneath petals.
Small equestrian symbols woven into the artwork as naturally as branches, stems, and falling blossoms.
The florals continue across the sleeves in loose watercolor arrangements, while individual petals drift into the quieter areas of the design.
Nothing is perfectly symmetrical.
Nothing is rigid.
The entire shirt was designed to feel alive.
Like spring caught in motion.
Like the moment just before a horse breaks into a gallop beneath a canopy of flowers.
The Story Behind the Artwork
In Japan, sakura — cherry blossoms — have long been associated with the fleeting nature of life.
Their beauty is extraordinary precisely because it does not last.
For a short season, they transform the landscape.
Then the wind carries them away.
There is something deeply familiar about that idea to anyone who has spent their life around horses.
Horses teach us to live inside moments.
A perfect ride.
The first cool morning after summer.
A quiet trail.
A horse choosing to trust you.
A gallop that feels like it lasted forever even though it was over in seconds.
You cannot hold those moments still.
You can only experience them.
Remember them.
And carry them with you.
That became the heart of Sakura Wildheart™.
The cherry blossoms represent beauty in motion.
The orchids bring richness, individuality, and strength.
And the horse represents the part of us that was never meant to remain perfectly contained.
The artwork deliberately combines softness with movement.
Delicate petals surround a powerful equine form.
Watercolor edges dissolve into clean white space.
Bright magenta and violet flowers sit beside quiet silver equestrian details.
The design is feminine without becoming timid.
Romantic without becoming precious.
Because a wild heart can love beautiful things.
It simply refuses to be caged by them.
The Artwork
The front features a sweeping equestrian composition surrounded by vivid orchids, cherry blossoms, watercolor washes, and drifting petals.
The flowers move diagonally across the shirt rather than forming a traditional repeating floral pattern, giving the artwork the feeling of a scene unfolding across the garment.
Turn the shirt around...
…and the story opens further.
The back features another strong equine composition framed by flowering sakura branches and oversized orchids, with blossoms cascading naturally around the horse.
Across the sleeves, floral appliqué-style artwork combines orchids, cherry blossoms, scattered petals, and subtle silver equestrian symbols including horseshoes, bits, and stirrups.
Smaller flowers and loose petals are scattered throughout the remaining white space, helping the artwork flow naturally around the body without overwhelming the light background.
The result is intentionally somewhere between an illustration and a painting.
Not simply a floral horse shirt.
Wearable art built around movement, color, and the wildness underneath something beautiful.
