STANDARD & CUSTOM SIZE
Measurement Guide
A custom-size gown is created based on customer-supplied measurements. To ensure a better fit, we recommend ordering the ‘Custom Size’ option. Your dress will be individually sized and tailor-made to fit your body shape. Our easy-to-use online Measurement Guide will help you set up your measurement profile within 10-15 minutes. Our designers will review each measurement profile and alert you if any adjustments are needed. Please note that our custom sizing options should provide you with a good fit, especially for brides who are in between sizes. However, anticipate needing some local alterations for the perfect fit, whether you are purchasing a Standard size or a Custom size gown. If you are buying a standard-size dress, let us know of any general wardrobe concerns or issues you typically face, such as wide hips or a larger bust.
How to
TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS
– Prepare a measuring tape & a long piece of cloth
– Make all measurements wearing a non-padded bra
– Make all measurements without shoes
– Have your arms relaxed naturally by your side
– Do not overtighten the measuring tape
– Ask a friend to help you
– Breath naturally
Front Corset
!Use a piece of cloth tied around your natural waist! This measurement is taken from the point where your shoulder meets your neck right above the collarbone on either side of your neck over the center of the fullest part of your bust down to your waistline.
Waist
!Use a piece of cloth tied around your natural waist! Wrap measuring tape around your natural waistline, which is located above your belly button and below your rib cage (usually 1 inch above your belly button).
Upper Bust
Make all measurements wearing a non-padded bra. Keep this measurement horizontally straight, and keep the measuring tape loose enough to insert one finger between the body and tape. Wrap the measuring tape around your torso under the armpits and above the bust.
Medium Bust
Make all measurements wearing a non-padded bra. Keep this measurement horizontally straight, and keep the measuring tape loose enough to insert one finger between the body and tape. It is not your bra size! Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust (at nipple level).
Lower Bust
Make all measurements wearing a non-padded bra. Keep this measurement horizontally straight, and keep the measuring tape loose enough to insert one finger between the body and tape. Wrap the measuring tape around your chest directly under your bust.
Waist to Floor
!Use a piece of cloth tied around your natural waist! Stand up barefoot straight and keep your feet together, measure from your waistline along either side of your body down to the floor.
Height
Stand barefoot straight with your back and hands against the wall and your heels touching the wall as well. Place a mark where the top of your head meets the wall and measure the distance from that point to the floor.
Hips
Stand naturally, bring your feet together, and wrap a measuring tape straight around the widest part of your hips.
Back Span
Bring your measuring tape from the left armpit to the right armpit across the back. Measure in a straight line over your back.
Bust Height
Begin at the base of your neck and bring your measuring tape down to the center of the fullest part of your bust.
Back Corset
!Use a piece of cloth tied around your natural waist! This measurement is taken from the point where your shoulder meets your neck right above the collarbone. Measure vertically down from there along your backside to the middle of the ribbon tied around your waist.
Shoulder Span
To take this measurement relax your shoulders, and find the bone where your arms and shoulders meet at the top of each shoulder. Measure from one point to the other in a straight line, across the back’s natural curve.
Arm Girth
For dresses with sleeves. Measure your arm’s fullest part of the upper part of your arm.
Sleeve Length
For dresses with sleeves. Have your arms relaxed naturally by your side. Measure the desired length of the sleeves down from the point where your arm meets your shoulder.
