Helping You Find the Right Size

Finding the right fit is very important! That's why it's even more important to find out what your bust and waist measurements are. Once you know what your measurements are, you will be able to select the right size for you. Keep in mind formal dresses run smaller than normal dresses. Our size and fit guide and downloadable printable measuring tape will help remove any guesswork and ensure the best possible fit for you.

Each designer we offer tends to have a specific size guide, and not all designers follow size guides you may normally refer to for sizing.  We highly recommend reviewing the size chart listed on the specific designer dress before making a dress purchase.  As a general rule, when in doubt of choosing a size option, always chose the larger size.  It's easy to take a dress in, but nearly impossible to add to a dress.
