Measurement tips

7/29/20242 min read

Here's how to take your measurements:

  1. Wear underwear when taking measurements.

  2. Use a flexible sewing tape measure.

  3. Do not take your measurements alone, a second person is necessary.

Standing naturally with your feet together, position the tape measure around your body, without feeling tight.

  • Chest measurement

To measure your chest circumference, place the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, making sure it is straight across your back. Record this measurement

  • Waistline

Measure your waist by placing the tape measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button. Keep the tape measure snug but not too tight.

  • Hip circumference (pelvis)

To measure your hips, place the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. Make sure the tape measure is parallel to the floor.

  • Dress Length

Measure from the base of your neck to the floor, wearing the shoes you plan to wear on your wedding day. This will give you the total length of the dress you need.

  • Armhole circumference

    Measure your waist by placing the tape measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button. Keep the tape measure snug but not too tight.

  • Arm circumference (biceps)

Wrap the tape measure around your bicep, where it is thickest. Make sure the tape is horizontal and neither too tight nor too loose. Note the measurement. Tip: Bend your arm slightly while measuring for a more accurate measurement.

Please note: Our dresses are available in the online store, from size 34 to 50.
