HOW TO MEASURE FOR A GOWN.

How to measure for a formal gown.

When you're in the process of ordering a formal gown, whether it's a custom creation or selecting from standard dress sizes, it's highly advisable to enlist the services of a professional tailor or seamstress to take your measurements accurately.

In the event that you're unable to access professional assistance, the video provided below offers guidance on how to precisely measure yourself.

It's essential to note that formal dresses don't adhere to the same sizing conventions as regular clothing. Formal and bridal gowns typically run smaller due to their unique design and cut.

For instance, if your standard size is UK 10, your formal gown size could fall within the range of UK 12 to UK 14.

This discrepancy may initially be disheartening, but it's vital to understand that formal gown sizing doesn't correlate with standard sizing. Your specific measurements are the primary consideration when selecting a gown that will fit you flawlessly for your special occasion.

When determining your gown size, please make sure to take accurate measurements and refer to the provided size charts to identify the appropriate size that corresponds to your measurements.
