How to measure Guide

 PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW IF YOU ARE ORDERING ONLINE. IF YOU ARE ORDERING THROUGH OUR SHOP, WE CHARGE £15 EXTRA FOR TAKING CORRECT MEASUREMENTS FOR YOUR GOWN.

Bust - Not your bra size! Take the tape around your back and bring it across the fullest part of your bust. Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides. You must wear a bra when taking this measurement.

Waist - This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it's an inch or so above your belly button. Also known as the natural waistline.

Hips - This is the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone. Measurement is taken approximately 7 inches below the natural waistline. This measurement is not needed for full gowns.

Natural Height - Your height from head to toe.

Hollow to hem - Start the tape at the hollow at the base of your neck and measure down to where you want the hem. Also, be sure you are wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your wedding day.

Bust Points - This is the length between your nipples

Arm Girth - Relax your arm and measure around the largest part of the upper arm.

Arm Length - Start the tape at your shoulder down to your hand.

Around Shoulder - This is the measurement around your shoulder.

Nape to Waist - Measure from the base of the neck at the back to the Natural Waist.

Waist to Hem - Measure from your Natural Waist to where you want the hem to be. Be sure you’re wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your wedding day.

 

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WRONG MEASUREMENTS ORDERED. IT IS THE CUSTOMERS FULL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THEY MEASURE CORRECTLY OR GET MEASURED BY A PROFESSIONAL. We recommend you to have your measurements taken by a professional seamstress, or get a friend or relative to help. Remember any dress whether bought from a shop, boutique or online may need alterations done before the big day especially if you are completing an exercise or diet program - please keep this in consideration.

 

If you wish you can order a standard size from our size chart and get your own seamstress to make any alterations if needed.
