Sizing

In each dress you will see a diagram of how to measure yourself properly. Bridal sizing is generally two sizes smaller than your regular dress size and that is why taking proper measurements is very important. 
To take your measurements you will need your bust size, natural waist size, and hips. You measure your bust at the fullest part of the breast straight across the back. Waist is taken usually about 1-2 inches above the belly button. Hips are measured around the fullest part of the buttocks and hip. These three measurements will tell you which size to order. Again you are welcome to set up a FREE video chat appointment with one of our bridal consultants to help you make sure you are doing your measurements properly to order the right size dress for you.

We offer bridal sizing US 0 - US 28 at no additional charge for sizing. If you require a wedding gown that is a bridal size larger than US 28 we are happy to help you take your measurements and order a dress custom to you at no additional custom size charge.
