Let's Get Your Measurements!
Prep Tips:
1. Grab a tape measure
2. Plan for about 10 minutes
3. Have a professional to perform your measurements (trust us, you don’t want to attempt this yourself, lol!)
4. Stand up straight with heels connected and arms at your sides
5. Follow the measurement form, even if you don’t think the measurement is needed
6. Get measurements with the undergarments that will be worn during your event. Measurements should be against the skin, but not too snug
7. Wear shoes that are close to the same height you plan to wear for your event
8. Your standard size is your decision. We are hear to provide advice and tips should you need it.
9. When deciding your standard size, if your measurements are different sizes than listed, we suggest ordering according to the largest measurement (not including hollow-to-hem). Remember, it is easier to take a gown in because there is no guarantee there will be enough fabric for a larger size.

Please reference the above chart to determine your dress size recommendation*. Please note that bridal dress sizes measure differently from day-to-day clothing and may run smaller depending on the dress style. Please consult with your tailor surrounding the ease of “taking your dress in” verses “letting your dress out”.
