Measuring Guide


This is one of the most important steps of your dream dress! Let’s get it right from the start. PLEASE DON'T make assumptions on your dress size! It is imperative that you take down your measurements, and do not select the same size you would normally wear for a top or another dress as wedding dresses are made differently.

You will need a measuring tape. The measurements should be taken when you are only with underwear. It might be difficult to measure yourself. You can have your family, friend or a local tailor to help you. One tip is that it is easier for dresses whose back closes with a long ribbon and loop corset to fit.

Measurements can be provided in either CM or INCH in our ordering system. For some measurements which are not applicable to your chosen dress, just fill in 0 in the order.

Height

Measure from the top of head to floor WITH your shoes on. Ideally your shoes are of the same height as your wedding shoes.

Full Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust across nipple line. Ensure the tape does not drop at the back. Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides. When measuring your bust, you are not measuring your bra size! Measure the fullest part of your chest OVER the bra cup. Try to wear the bra or undergarment you are intending to use with the dress for a more accurate measurement.


Waist

Measure around narrowest part of your waist. Be sure not to suck in your stomach. Tie a ribbon or piece of string around the narrowest part of your waist, which will be used as reference point for some other measurements.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of hips, right across the hip bone. Measure yourself with your feet close together.
Take note of how far down from the waist that you are measuring.

Upper Bust

Measure above your breasts in the same manner as you measured across them. Ensure the tape does not drop at the back.
