Choosing Your Dress Size

Many customers visit bridal shops before buying their dress. If you've tried on dresses or gowns in a store or boutique, then you already know which styles look best on you. If you're not sure which dress silhouette will flatter your body shape, you can read more about choosing the perfect style here.

Special occasion dresses often fit smaller than regular clothing sizes. DO NOT guess at your dress size. Be sure to carefully follow the Measuring Instructions and the size chart shown with any dress that you plan to order online.


OUR DRESS FITTING TIPS:

1. Corset and lace-up back style dresses provide an adjustible fit and may be a good choice if you're between sizes.

2. Bust and waist measurements are more important than hip measurements for full A-line or ball gown style dresses.

3. It's easier to alter a dress to fit smaller than to make it fit larger. Almost any formal dress may need alterations to get a perfect fit.

4. When you order a dress online, you can expect some wrinkling associated with packing and shipping. Don't compare the dress that comes out of a package with the photos on websites of a professionally steamed dress. To get the same look for your dress, have your dress professionally steamed or pressed after any alterations are done, and before your wedding or event. Your local dry cleaner should be able to do this for you for a very reasonable cost.


HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS FOR A FORMAL DRESS:


Read our Measuring Instructions page for full details.

BUST: measure around the fullest part of your bust, preferably wearing a bra style that you will wear with the dress. The measuring tape should be comfortable, and not too tight when taking your bust measurement. This measurement is NOT the same as your bra size.

WAIST: measure around your waist about 1 to 2 inches above your belly button. Do not take your waist measurement over clothing. The measuring tape should be comfortable, and not too tight when taking your waist measurement.

HIP: measure around the fullest part of your hips, about 6 to 7 inches below your belly button. The measuring tape should be comfortable, and not too tight when taking your hip measurement. Do not take your hip measurement over clothing.

Measure yourself carefully and DO NOT guess at your dress size based on what you normally wear in regular clothing.

The extra time it takes to measure yourself correctly, or to have your seamstress take your measurements for you, is more than worth the effort before ordering your dress.


HOW DO I KNOW WHICH SIZE TO ORDER?


Select the size that best matches your largest measurement (bust, waist or hip). For ball gown or full A-line styles, your bust and waist measurements are more important than your hip measurement. If you're between sizes, it's usually best to order the larger size so you have room to move in the dress, then plan to have your local seamstress or tailor make alterations to the areas that need adjustment to give you a perfect fit.

If you're between sizes, you may also want to choose a dress with a corset or lace-up style back, or a full skirt, instead of a tightly fitted skirt.
