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.

Nadine & Ripley Signature Collection

Whispering Waters™

Every legend begins with a whisper...

Some legends don't roar.

They wait.

Inspired by one of Scotland's most haunting folktales, Whispering Waters™ transforms the ancient legend of the Kelpie into a wearable work of art. Every panel tells part of a forgotten story hidden among emerald pine forests, ancient Celtic ruins, and mist-covered lochs where beauty often conceals danger.

The front captures the quiet moment before the legend unfolds. A young girl kneels beside still waters, captivated by the shimmering spirit rising from the loch. It feels peaceful. Almost inviting.

Turn the shirt around...

...and the truth finally emerges.

The Kelpie rises from the depths, draped in moss, river weeds, and centuries of forgotten magic. Silent. Beautiful. Patient.

Just as the old stories describe.

From the enchanted forests winding down each sleeve to the ghostly mithril-inspired Celtic ornamentation framing the shoulders, every detail was carefully designed to immerse you in the world of Scottish mythology. Hidden runes, forgotten ruins, emerald waters, and subtle storytelling invite you to discover something new every time you wear it.

This isn't simply a horse shirt.

It's an ancient legend woven into performance apparel.

Designed exclusively by Nadine & Ripley, Whispering Waters™ celebrates mystery, folklore, adventure, and the timeless magic of the stories that refuse to be forgotten.


The Legend Behind the Artwork

In Scottish folklore, the Kelpie is a supernatural water spirit said to inhabit lonely lochs and forgotten river crossings.

Most often appearing as an extraordinarily beautiful black horse, the Kelpie patiently waits for curious travelers to approach. Drawn in by its beauty, those who reach out soon discover the creature's true nature as it returns to the depths, carrying its victims beneath the water forever.

Unlike many legendary creatures, the Kelpie doesn't hunt.

It lures.

That haunting moment between curiosity and consequence became the inspiration behind Whispering Waters™.
