Size Guide
Find Your Fit at Home
No fittings needed. With a tape measure and ten minutes, you can give us everything we need to make your piece fit beautifully.
Before You Measure
- Use a soft tape measure — the kind used for sewing, not a metal one.
- Ask someone to help. Measuring yourself is possible, but a second pair of hands is more accurate.
- Wear what you will wear underneath, such as the bra or shapewear for your event.
- Stand straight and relaxed, feet together, breathing normally.
- Keep the tape snug, not tight — you should be able to slip one finger underneath.
- Measure in centimetres, and if you land between two numbers, use the bigger one.
Bust
Around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back.
Waist
Around your natural waist — the narrowest part of your body, just above your belly button.
Hips
Around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, feet together.
Shoulder width
Across your back, from the tip of one shoulder bone to the other.
Sleeve length
From the tip of your shoulder, over a slightly bent elbow, down to your wrist bone.
Shoulder to floor
From the top of your shoulder, over the bust, straight down to the floor — wearing the shoes you will wear on the day.
Height
Standing barefoot against a wall, from the top of your head to the floor.
