How to Measure For Your Size
|
Measuring for the right fit is a critical step when choosing your gown size, regardless of whether
you are buying a wedding gown or an evening gown. Below is a diagram that will show you just where
to take these measurements. Be sure to wear undergarments when you take your measurements. It is best to have a seamstress check your measurements for you to be sure you have them correct. Once you have written your measurements down look up our online size charts to choose the perfect size for your wedding gown or dress or special occasion gown. When choosing a size, be sure that all of your measurements are the same or higher than those of the size you are selecting. It is easier for a tailor to take a dress in then to let it out. |

Bust The bust measurement is taken by placing the tape measure over the back, underneath the arms and then over the highest point on the bust. Do not pull the tape measure too tight. This should be an exact measurement, not too tight and not too loose. Waist Tie a string around your waist to determine the location of your waist. Here it is very important to measure your true waist size, and not to pull the tape measure too tight. You should be able to slip two fingers between the tape and your waist. Hip The hip measurement is taken over the widest part of the hips. |
