How To Measure

Do not measure over clothing. Measure with undergarments similar to those you will wear with your dress. The measurement tape should be placed around your bust, waist, and hips and should not be pulled too tight or have too much slack.

Bust Measurement

Measure across the back and fullest part of the bust (not under the bust).

Waist Measurement

Measure across the narrowest part of the natural waist. Bend to one side to find the natural waist.

Hip Measurement

Standing with feet together, measure at the fullest part of the hip.

Length / Hollow to Hem

Designers make their dresses with a standard hollow to hem measurement based on the size of the dress (See size charts for details). This standard measurement varies between designers. Designers recommend considering extra length if you are taller than 5’8” including heel height. Extra length is typically 1” to several inches longer and will vary between designers. Availability and fees are dependent on each designer.
