Size Guide
Use the chart for the designer shown on the product page. Measure yourself before ordering. All measurements are body measurements in inches, not garment measurements.
Three-Step Size Selection
- Measure bust, natural waist, and fullest hip over close-fitting clothing.
- Find each measurement in the correct designer chart.
- If measurements fall across sizes, choose the size matching your largest measurement. Formal gowns can be tailored down more easily than they can be let out.

How to Measure
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
- Waist: Measure around the natural waistline.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part, approximately 7–9 inches below the waist.
