Measuring tips

  1. Use a soft tape measure, snug but not tight: you should fit one finger under it.
  2. Measure in your underwear, wearing the bra you plan to wear with the gown.
  3. Stand naturally with your feet together. Breathe normally; don't hold your breath or pull in.
  4. Keep the tape level all the way around; a mirror helps you check.
  5. Ask a friend to help: measuring yourself tends to tilt the tape.
  6. Measure twice. If the two results differ, use the larger one.
  7. Enter body measurements, not the measurements of a dress you own.
Bridal and special occasions: if your measurements fall across several sizes, or you want the length cut for your exact heel, choose Custom in the size menu and enter your measurements. Your gown is made to your measurements at no extra cost.
Order by your measurements, not your everyday size

Formal and evening sizes usually run smaller than everyday clothing, often by one or two sizes. Always choose by your bust, waist and hip measurements. The chart lists body measurements, not garment measurements.

Between two sizes

Choose the larger size: a gown can be taken in, but it can't be let out. Or choose Custom, and your gown is made to your exact measurements at no extra cost.

Petite, tall and plus

Petite (under 5'4" / 163 cm): floor-length styles usually need hemming. Tall (over 5'9" / 175 cm): standard lengths can sit above the floor. Above US 24: every style is available. For any of these, choose Custom, enter your measurements and your barefoot hollow-to-floor, and we make it for you at no extra cost.

Strapless, open back and expecting

Measure in the bra you plan to wear, or without one if you'll use adhesive cups, and add your preference in Notes when you order Custom. If you're expecting, measure as close to ordering as you can and add your due date and event date in Notes.
