The below is just a guide. We recommend that whenever possible you get a qualified seamstress to measure your dress size. Always get someone else to make the measurements for you: measuring yourself will give inaccurate numbers and could lead to disappointment. Measure with undergarments similar to those you will wear with your dress; do not measure over other clothing.

For Standard Dresses
Bust Not your bra size! Take the tape around your back and bring it across the fullest part of your bust. Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides. You must wear a bra when taking this measurement.	Waist This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it`s an inch or so above your belly button. Also known as the natural waistline.

For Made-to-Measure Dresses

Thank you for your interest in the made-to-measure dress. There is nothing like a dress that follows the natural curves of your body to give you absolute confidence as you walk down the aisle.

Ordering a custom-fit dress is a simple process, but accurate measurements are the most important part, so please follow the instructions carefully. In order to measure the perfect fit, it’s best to be measured wearing the undergarments, slip, and shoes you'll be wearing the day of your wedding or event.

Please do not take your measurements without any assistance. We strongly suggest using the services of a professional tailor or seamstress to be sure that the correct measurements are taken. However, if you will be taking your measurements with the help of a friend, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind before you get started:

• Mark your measurements on a paper.
• Have a string or ribbon along with a measuring tape
• Don't pull the tape too tight. It is important to leave a little slack when taking measurements.
• Please take your measurements to the closest inch. If you’re not sure about a measurement, remember that it is always easier to take a dress in than to let it out.
