standard & Custom size
A custom size gown is created based upon customer-supplied measurements. To ensure a better fit we recommend ordering ‘Custom Size’. Your dress will be individually sized and tailor-made to fit your body shape. Our easy to use online Measurement Guide will have you set up with your own measurement profile within 10-15 minutes. Our designers will review each measurement profile and alert you should any measurement appear to need an adjustment. Please note, our custom sizing options should provide you with a good fit (especially for those brides who are in between sizes). However, you should anticipate needing some local alterations to get the perfect fit for you whether you are purchasing a Standard size or a Custom size gown.
If you are purchasing a standard size dress, please let us know any general wardrobe concerns or issues you may typically face. Some examples include wide hips or large breasts.
