HOW TO SELECT YOUR SIZE
Always measure over undergarments (not over clothes) for more precise information. Please do not give bra or jean sizes. If you have a large cup size or broad back, the size of the garment may have to be adjusted accordingly. If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider the largest measurements first, as well as the style you're ordering, then determine which measurements would be easier to alter . Remember, it is usually easier to take in the garment than to let it out when altering.

MEASUREMENTS
Stand comfortably, with equal weight on both feet and arms resting easily at sides, do not suck in.

BUST - Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.

WAIST - Measure the natural waistline. Smallest curve of your waist.

HIP - Measure the fullest part of the hip, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor. Only in the case of a straight skirt or when the hip is several sizes larger than the other measurements, will a hip measurement be necessary to determine size.

Extra Length: Most bridesmaid dresses manufacturers offer extra length. You should consider ordering extra length if you are 5’8” or taller with shoes on. Extra length is usually an additional 5” of fabric added to the dress length.

HOLLOW TO HEM on Bridal gowns: Measure from the Hollow (base) of the neck, to the natural waist, follow the skirt to the desired hem length. Take at the lowest point of the skirt fabric, underlining or the highest point of a scalloped lace-measure over the fullness of the slip.

If your skirt will be full be sure to measure at an angle to allow for the fullness.
All measurements should be taken while the bride is wearing the same heel height and undergarments (bra and slip) as she will the day of the wedding.

NOTE: GOWNS ARE NOT CUSTOM-MADE. ALTERATIONS BY AN EXPERIENCED SEAMSTRESS WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BE NECESSARY FOR A PROPER FIT.
