Advice For Ordering The Correct Size Dress:

To help you choose the right size dress, please refer to the Size Chart. Please do measure your bust, waist and hips and give us those measurements not just size 14 etc as bridalwear normally comes up on the small side, therefore we require your measurements so we can send you the correct size dress accordingly. All our dresses can be taken in a size or let out a size, so when in doubt order a larger size to ensure alteration ease. Example: Bust = 38" Waist = 31" Hips = 42" Size you order = 16 even though you are closer in inches to the size 14.

How To Measure Your Vital Statistics:

Bust - Preferably wear a good supporting bra and place the tape measure loosely under the arms (over the shoulder blades) around the fullest part of the chest.

Waist - Measure around the natural waist keeping the tape measure slightly loose.

Hips - Measure around the fullest part of the bottom at the top of the leg about 8" below the natural waistline. Don't worry if you are "pear shaped" as most traditional wedding dresses flare out and hide this, especially if you are wearing a dress that requires an underskirt.


Advice For Your Fitting and Alterations:

Once you have ordered your dress and are in receipt of it, if needed, it is time for you to have a fitting. It is advisable to have the dress fitted whilst wearing the undergarments, petticoat (if applicable) and shoes that you intend to wear on the day, as these items can make a difference to the overall alteration measurements required to the dress.


Advice For Storing Your Dress:

Most places are fine but do avoid dampness, sunlight, strong smells and smoke.
