Measuring Guide

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.

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.
Hips
This is the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone. Measurement is taken approximately 7 inches below the natural waistline. This measurement is not needed for full gowns.
Shoulder to Floor
(for floor length dress)
Measure from the highest part of the shoulder to   floor.(include the high heels inchs)
Shoulder to Hem
(for short length dress)
Measure from the highest part of the shoulder to the dress hem. (Take the tape from your front like the small picture).
Back
