How to Measure

👗 How to Measure Yourself

Choosing the right size matters: a gown that fits properly is the difference between a dress you tolerate for one evening and one you forget you are wearing. These four measurements are enough, and you can take them at home.

You will need a tape measure and, ideally, someone to help.

1. Bust

  • Pass the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level across your back.

  • Breathe normally and hold the tape flat at underarm height — do not pull it tight.

2. Waist

  • Find the narrowest part of your torso, where your waist naturally curves in.

  • This usually sits two to three fingers above your navel.

  • Keep the tape snug against the body without compressing it.

3. Hip

  • Measure around the widest part of your hips.

  • Stand upright with your feet together.

4. Shoulder to hem (length)

  • Measure from the top of your shoulder straight down to the floor, wearing — or allowing for — the heels you plan to wear on the day.

  • For bridal gowns and long evening dresses this measurement is the critical one.

📏 A few tips

  • No tape measure? Use a piece of string or ribbon, mark the length, then measure it against a ruler.

  • Ask someone to help. Measurements taken by another person are noticeably more accurate.

  • If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one. A dress can be taken in; it cannot be let out.
