GET PROFESSIONALLY MEASURED > How To Find Your Dress Size On each product page, you’ll find a bridesmaid or wedding dress size chart for the designer of the product you are viewing. The designer's size chart outlines their specific standard sizing measurements. Every designer is different; therefore, every size chart is different. Compare your bust, waist, and hip measurements to the designer’s size chart. It’s important that you order the largest size that corresponds to your measurements. For example, if your measurements are as follows: Your bust fits a size 12 Your waist fits a size 10 Your hips fits a size 8 We would advise that you order a size 12, and get the dress altered to custom fit your body. Ordering the size that fits your largest measurement will ensure that your dress has the most flattering fit possible. Keep in mind, wedding apparel is typically sized differently than retail clothing, so it’s not uncommon to find yourself requiring wedding apparel one or more sizes larger than your normal dress size.

Most dresses come with a standard length measurement, but some designers offer a custom hollow-to-hem. Find your hollow-to-hem measurement by measuring from the center of your collarbone (hollow) to the bottom (hem) of your dress. We recommend having a professional take this measurement for the most accuracy. *Tip: Wear a similar heel/shoe height to what you will be wearing with your dress.
