Size Guide

Use this guide to take your measurements and check the options listed for the dress you want.

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure over lightweight clothing or the undergarments you plan to wear. Stand naturally and keep the tape level. It should rest against your body without pulling tight.

Body measurements for dresses
Measurement Where to place the tape
Bust Around the fullest part of your bust, with the tape level across your back.
Waist Around your natural waist, near the crease that forms when you bend to one side.
Hips Around the fullest part of your hips and seat, with your feet together.
Length Measure a dress you already own from the shoulder to the hem. Compare that with the product’s listed length, using its stated starting point when provided.

Use the measurements for that style

Size labels and fit can differ between dresses. Compare your body measurements with the product’s size chart when one is listed. If a listing gives garment measurements, measure a similar dress you own and compare it on the same basis.

Between sizes? Start with the measurement that matters most for the cut. For a fitted bodice, check the bust and waist. For a close-fitting skirt, check the hips. If the listing mentions stretch, lining, or a fixed waistband, use those details to judge how much room you prefer.
