For the most accurate measurements, it’s best to have someone help you with a cloth measuring tape. Wear something fitted so that the tape can accurately follow your curves. When taking your measurements, be sure not to pull the tape too tightly around your body.  Follow these steps to determine your size:

1 – Bust: Place the tape measure over the fullest part of your bust. Keep in mind that this is not the same as your bra size.

2 – Waist: Wrap the tape around the narrowest part of your waist, about 1-2 inches above your belly button.

3 – Hips: Measure the widest part of your hips.

Tips and Reminders

When choosing a size, it’s important to consider your bust and waist measurements first, and your hips measurement last.

Consider dropping down one size if you prefer a snug fit.  The corset backs are adjustable and can accommodate minimal weight loss and gain.

Please be aware that the dress may not fit perfectly right out of the box, and alterations may be required. A good rule of thumb is that a dress can typically be taken in up to two sizes by a skilled tailor. Don’t be afraid to visit a local seamstress to make any necessary adjustments.
