Sizing Made Easy

Please note that each designer uses a different size chart so you won't be able to assume that a size 8 from one manufacturer will fit the same way a size 8 does from another manufacturer. Have you measurements taken and then we will help you cross reference them with the size chart from the designer of the dress you've chosen. If you live in the Western Massachusetts or Boston areas we will gladly take your measurements for you.

Please choose the size you feel most comfortable ordering. Keep in mind that it is much easier for a seamstress to take a dress "in" than to "let out" the seams. Not every dress can be let out. However, it's best to choose the size that will require the least alteration. Remember!!! The final decision and responsibility on what size to order is up to you, the customer.

..

BUST Measure around the widest part of the back, straight across the fullest part of the bust, not under the bust line. Be aware that wearing no bra versus a strapless or regular bra can make quite a difference in measurements. Do not use your bra size measurement! A girl who wears a 34A bra will have a much different bust measurement that a girl who wears a 34D! Also, please note that the time of the month that measurements are taken can cause the bust measurement to fluctuate.
WAIST Measure around your natural waistline. Make sure you're not holding your stomach in while you take the measurement. Leave one finger under the measuring tape so that the tape can be moved. You want the dress to fit comfortably around the waist.
HIPS Measure around the fullest part of your hips. Put your thumbs at your natural waist and rest your hands on your hips. The tips of your fingers should be the area to measure for your hips.
EXTRA LENGTH Extra length is available for some bridal and most bridesmaid gowns and should be strongly considered if any member of the bridal party is over 5'8".
Keep in mind the type of heel that will be worn. Shorter lengths are never available in bridesmaids. Please be aware that sizing is not an exact science and alterations by an experienced seamstress will almost always be necessary for a proper fit.

Bridal clothes are special order items and cannot be returned or exchanged. Because of this, it is very important to have accurate measurements before ordering your gown.We keep up to date size charts for all the designers we quote on file to assist you in sizing.
