Perfect Fit for Your Gown
For the best fit, DON'T GUESS
at your size. These dresses run about
ONE SIZE SMALLER than your normal clothing
size.
Measure first---then determine your size
from the size charts
listed on each page of dresses. Order the size that comes closest to your measurements.
If between sizes, choose the larger size as it is always easier to alter the dress down
than to let it out. Remember, the size will not be displayed on the dress when you
are wearing it. Don't get hung up on numbers. You'll look best in a dress that
fits, no matter what the size.

Here's
How to Measure:
Measure over undergarments, keep measuring tape level and pull it snug, but
not tight. (If you will be wearing special undergarments with your dress, measure
over those.) Don't have a measuring tape? Just use a piece of string then measure it with a ruler!
A.
BUST: Measure over unpadded
bra at fullest part.
B.
WAIST: Measure at natural waist
(or smallest part - usually about 2” above the belly button)
C.
HIPS: Measure
around fullest part of hips, keeping tape level all around (approximately where
the legs bend).
HOLLOW
TO HEM: Measure from the base of the neck (hollow of
the neck) to the floor. This measurement is typically only for girls dresses
(i.e.: flower girls). If this measurement is important you will
see a note on the dress product. All junior & womens dresses
are made to fit heights of 5'8" - 5'9" (unless otherwise
stated on the product). See How do the
gowns fit?

In most dresses the waist and bust measurements are the most important, but if your dress is fitted throught the hips (mermaid or stright skirt), you'll need all three. It's easy to add cups or a bra to make the bust measurement fit correctly, so don't worry if you have to go up in size to accommodate your waist measurement. Look for dresses with lace-up backs or sides to avoid problems with fit in the bust (and waist) because they allow for a more flexible fit. If you have a generous A-line, full, or ballgown skirt don't worry about your hip measurement... these skirts are easy to fit and hide everything!
The size you order is ALWAYS up to you! We will be happy to help you find the best size for you, but the final decision is up to you.
