Measurement Guide

IMPORTANT NOTES

HOW TO MEASURE FOR A BRIDESMAID DRESS

OK, before you get started;  

1. Wear something form-fitting (camis or tank top) or simply measure yourself on bare skin (with undergarments only, not over clothes) to get the most accurate measurements. 

2. Don't pull the measuring tape too tight or too loose around your body. You will want to give yourself some wiggle room so that you can breathe. 

3. We advise you get the help of a family or friend or professional tailor and measure everything 2 - 3 times to be certain. 

Now, grab the measuring tape and let's get started! 

CUSTOM SIZING

No cookie-cutter (mass production) bridesmaid dress here! We believe that all women deserve to have the bridesmaid dress of their dreams regardless of their size. One of the best parts about ordering your dreamy bridesmaid style with us is every piece in our collection is personally tailored (custom size) and made-to-order only (that's how we can offer so many colors and all sizes). We carry any size; standard and plus, petite and tall. Our skilled dressmakers carefully craft each dress exactly to your measurements, chosen style, length, fabric, and color; ensuring the best possible piece for your special day and lovely #TeamBride. 

HOW TO MEASURE

For custom size, we accept a total of 5 measurements: Bust, Waist, Hips and Dress Length (body height + heel height).

1. Bust: __________ cm

2. Waist: __________ cm

3. Hips: __________ cm

4. Body Height (barefoot): _________ cm   *measure from the top of your head down to the floor.*

5. Heel Height:  _________ cm

Please note: Be sure to triple-check all your measurements! The body measurements provided are then plugged into a program that helps us prepare your gown pattern, estimate the amount of fabric and calculate where the boning, bra padded, neckline, waistline and hemline should fall on your body. Too often, people measure themselves incorrectly which results in a dress that does not fit as expected. Since custom dresses are made specifically for you, they cannot be returned or exchanged. 

*IMPORTANT: Keep in mind, we will not be able to always guarantee a 100% fit even for custom sizes. While we handmade your order according to the measurements provided, it is only basic custom sizing (bust, waist, hips and height). As such, due to the non-stretchability of the fabrics, the way measurements are taken, and how the same dress falls on individual bodies since each body shapes are very different and unique. If necessary, you may need additional alterations at your local tailor at own expense once you have received the dress for your ideal fit. 

Please note: Your custom size may not be the same as your standard dress size. Formal gowns often have fitted bodices and are more structured than everyday clothing.

*IMPORTANT: All orders to be produced by our manufactures in China. Please note that we are exclusively online and do not have a physical storefront or tailor team locally. We are unable to cater for any resizing or alteration requests for custom dresses (if the dress received is not right fit). As they are personally tailored according to measurements provided and checked before delivered.

 

To get an ideal fit, alteration is required physical presence and measure of the individual. Please bring along the invisible bra and heels during the session with your local tailor, if necessary.

1. Bust

This is a measurement of the fullest part of your bust.

How To Measure

Start by wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust (usually right above the nipple) and center the tape, to form a full circle.

Note: It’s important to note that your bust size is not the same as your bra size. 

2. Waist

This is a measurement of your natural waistline, or the smallest part of your waist.

How To Measure

Bend to one side to find the crease on your side – that will be your natural waistline. Wrap the tape around the narrowest part and slightly loose to allow for breathing room.

3. Hips

This is a measurement around fullest part of your buttocks.                     

How To Measure

Stand straight with feet together, and wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips (tape should sit across your hip bones).

4. Height (barefoot)

This is your body height. To measure your height, stand straight with your bare feet and measure from the top of your head down to the floor.

Note: Don't wear shoes or heels when taking this measurement. 

5. Heel Height

This is the height of the shoes you are going to wear with this dress. Measure the heel height from foot brace to floor. 

STANDARD SIZE (XS-3XL) - applicable for limited styles only

It is advised to check carefully the size chart available for each style as measurements for every dress is different. Please do compare your measurements with our size chart before deciding on your size. The measurements on the size chart are body measurements, not the finished dress measurements. Measurements are in centimeters (cm). 

* If you are between sizes, we recommended you order a size up. 

* If you are over 173cm (without heels), it is recommended to opt for custom sizing.
