Measurement Guide For Dresses

With the help of a friend or family member, watch our measuring guide and then follow the instructions using a soft measuring tape (not a ruler or construction tape) to measure your:

A few additional notes to consider when measuring:

• When using your measuring tape, you'll want to ensure that you don't pull it too tight around your body. Give yourself some wiggle room so that you have room to breathe.
• Wear fitted clothing (like leggings and a tank top) when measuring and a supportive bra (whether you plan to wear a bra with the dress or not). If you have shapewear you plan to wear, wear this when measuring.

 

• Pulling the measuring tape too tight

Don’t pull the tape too tight and try not to suck your stomach in while measuring. Think about how comfortable you want to be when eating, dancing, and chatting at your big event.

• Sizing down

It’s much easier to make alterations to a dress that’s bigger than what you need, rather than one that’s too small. If you’re in between sizes in different body parts (for example, the bust versus the waist), go with the size corresponding to the bigger measurement.

• Not taking the most accurate measurements

 Try to be as accurate as possible with all the measurement points. It’ll make for the best-fitting (or at least closest-fitting) dress size requiring fewer alterations before the event.
