To ensure a perfect fit for your dream gown, please follow the steps below with care. Always measure over your intended undergarments — whether padded bras or slimming shapewear — and have someone assist you or visit a professional seamstress for the most accurate results.

📏 Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape snug but not tight, and parallel to the floor. Maintain a straight posture while taking this measurement.

📏 Waist

Find your natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, typically about 1 inch above your belly button. Stand tall and relaxed. Keep the tape comfortably fitted, not pulled too tight.

📏 Hips

Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom — this is usually 7 to 9 inches below your waistline.

📏 Hollow to Hem

While standing straight and barefoot, measure from the hollow (the dip between your collarbones) straight down to the floor.

📏 Height

Stand straight and barefoot. Measure from the top of your head to the floor.

📝 Important Notes:

• Always stand tall, relaxed, and barefoot when measuring.

• Wear your padded bra or shapewear (if you plan to wear any on your wedding day) while taking your measurements.

• If you're choosing a fitted silhouette and have smaller hips but wider thighs, you may need to size up for comfort or consider custom tailoring.

• We automatically add 5 cm to the dress length to account for a standard bridal heel or ring skirt. If you plan to wear higher heels, please let us know the exact height so we can adjust accordingly.

• For standard-size gowns, use this guide to select the closest size.

• For custom sizing, you can enter your measurements during checkout or email them to us within 24 hours of placing your order.
