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 here to help you imagine different ways to style it, but the actual product is the performance quarter-zip shown in the product photos and mockups.

Each shirt is made to order, which means it is created specifically for you after your purchase rather than sitting in a warehouse. This helps reduce waste while allowing me to offer a growing collection of original artwork.

I’m currently adding real-world photos, 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

Unicornis Caelestis™

Designed for riding. Made for every adventure.

“Where starlight takes form, the celestial garden begins to bloom.”

Some creatures belong to the earth.

Others seem to have stepped down from the heavens.

Unicornis Caelestis™ brings together the grace of the unicorn, the beauty of a moonlit garden, and the quiet mystery of the stars in an original wearable work of art where every panel reveals a different part of the story.

The front introduces the celestial unicorn emerging from a dreamlike garden of soft peonies, roses, and ornamental blossoms. Its luminous white form rises through the flowers beneath a sky filled with crescent moons, delicate constellations, and scattered points of golden light.

The unicorn is powerful without appearing fierce, magical without becoming childish, and elegant enough to feel as though it belongs in an ancient illuminated manuscript.

Turn the shirt around...

...and the celestial garden continues.

A graceful floral arrangement spreads across the shoulders before descending along the back in a long, elegant cascade. At its center, a glowing celestial medallion appears among the flowers, surrounded by stars, moons, delicate filigree, and softly layered botanical detail.

The back is quieter than the front, but no less intentional. It creates the feeling of an enchanted garden growing beneath the night sky, with every blossom connected to the celestial world above it.

The sleeves tell two sides of the same story.

One sleeve is wrapped in deep blue celestial ornament, filled with moons, stars, constellations, and fine golden details reminiscent of an antique astronomical chart.

The other remains lighter and more romantic, carrying the ivory floral and ornamental design outward from the body of the shirt.

Together, they create a striking asymmetrical composition that feels artistic, balanced, and completely unique.

Soft damask-inspired detailing, antique-gold flourishes, moon phases, stars, florals, and hidden ornamental elements reward a closer look.

Crescent moons.

Celestial maps.

Golden constellations.

Blooming gardens.

A unicorn born from starlight.

This is not simply a horse shirt.

It is a celestial garden transformed into performance apparel.

Designed exclusively by Nadine & Ripley, Unicornis Caelestis™ celebrates imagination, grace, strength, beauty, and the enduring belief that a little magic can still exist in the everyday world.

The Story Behind the Artwork

The unicorn has appeared in folklore, art, heraldry, and mythology for centuries as a symbol of purity, freedom, rarity, and untamed grace.

It is often portrayed as a creature that cannot be captured by force—a being that chooses where it belongs and reveals itself only to those worthy of its trust.

The celestial garden represents the meeting place between two worlds: the earth below and the heavens above.

Flowers rise from the ground while stars and moons descend across the fabric, surrounding the unicorn in a world suspended somewhere between reality and dream.

The name Unicornis Caelestis means “Celestial Unicorn,” evoking the feeling of a rare mythical creature recorded in an ancient naturalist’s field guide or illustrated bestiary.

The artwork blends romantic florals, celestial symbolism, ornamental patterning, and equestrian beauty into one original design created for riders, dreamers, artists, and anyone who has never entirely outgrown the belief that magic might still be waiting just beyond the edge of the trail.
