Measurement and Sizing Chart

Size Guide

This chart is designed to help you find your best fit across US, AU, and EU sizing. We've included approximate bust, waist, hip, and length measurements (in centimetres), along with guidance on how to measure yourself for the most accurate results.

To take your measurements:

Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level and comfortably snug.

Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, just above your belly button.

Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape flat.

Length: Measured from the top of the shoulder (or neckline) down to the hem, depending on garment style.


Bridal Size Chart — Bust, Waist & Hip Measurements

Tip: Measure over your undergarments and without shoes. Always size to your largest measurement — it's far easier to take a gown in than to let it out.

Hollow to Hem is measured from the hollow at the base of your throat, straight down to the floor (barefoot). The standard bridal length above is 152cm — let us know your height so we can advise on hemming if needed.


Alterations & Custom Fitting

All of our gowns can be altered by a professional seamstress after purchase. We recommend allowing budget for minor alterations as part of your bridal planning — this is completely normal and expected, even with a perfectly sized gown. If you're between sizes, always size up and take in rather than size down.

Please note:

Sizing note: Our dresses are made to bridal sizing and run smaller than Australian ready-to-wear. Many brides take a larger size than their usual AU dress size. As a general rule, dresses should be sized based on your largest measurement — it's so much easier to take in a dress than take it out!

If you're between sizes or unsure, we recommend sizing up or chatting with our bridal team for fit advice.
