How To Take Your Measurements
Your measurements are taken to determine which size will provide the closest fit based on the designer wedding dress size chart. Most dresses have a standard hollow to hem measurement based on dress size which varies from designer to designer. How to read a size chart and select a dress size: Once you have your bust, waist and hip measurements, please compare with the designer's size chart. For example, if your measurements are:Your bust corresponds to a size 8
Your waist size corresponds to a size 6
Your hips correspond to a size 10
We recommend ordering size 10 and having the dress altered to fit your body. Wedding dresses are sized differently than regular clothes, so it's not uncommon to find yourself one or more sizes larger than your normal dress size, but ultimately the decision of which size to ordering is still yours.
