Please choose your indicative size range. After placing your order you will receive an email requesting your detailed measurements for the perfect fit!

You should not rely on your usual size choosing such an important product like a wedding or evening dress, even if you don’t have any problem buying T-shirts, sweaters and knitted dresses in your usual size. Carefully study the table matches the size shown on the website, which are going to be ordered. From personal experience – they are different. Different brands line the size range may vary, they sew in different patterns and they can be different yardsticks matching a certain size. That is why it is important to know not only its size but its measurements.

Read carefully in the description of the dress the full information, feature cut, materials used. Stretchable wedding dress is a rarity. Wedding gowns, usually have the belt opposed to stretching. If the dress is zip fastener and your waistline is 0,5-1 inch (1,5-2 cm) larger then the waist measure of the dress, you will not be able to cloze the zipper then! Often you can see in the pictures, that dresses on the models are little bit “baggy” on them. It can be incorporated design, but more often this is because of models which are too thin even for the small size dress or just because a different size for the shooting was unavailable. Anyway, responsible seller should always indicate the model parameters and the size of a dress, so that you can estimate the real fitting of the dress.

Imagine how you dress on and dress-off to understand what measurements you should take into consideration and which shouldn’t. And, of course, is repelled bystyle:

– If the dress is entirely fitting, you need to consider everything – chest, waist and hips (if it is also with sleeves you should also take into account the upper arm/biceps measurement).

– If this is well fitting top and the skirt cut free, the hips are not important, so focus on the chest and waist.

– If the dress is free fitting by the chest, the only important measurement – chest.

To take your measurements you need the measuring tape and the elastic tape. With some experience you can take some measurements by yourself, but to make the rest you will need an assistant. Ask someone from relatives to help you or invite a friend. Following the instructions, they can easily cope with the task.

You need to measure your body shapes wearing underwear, which you will wear with a dress. Note, that even nylon tights can take away a few centimeters in the hips, so nothing to talk about the corrective underwear. If the selected dress, for example, is with an low back and it assumes wearing no bra, then you need to take measurements without it. Remember that the bra always adds the volume, even if it has soft cup.

To define the waistline correctly, tie the leastic tape arround your natural waist and don’t take it off until you finish the meausring.
