There are many different size charts available but it's best to ignore them when ordering your wedding dress online. Watch our video to see how to take your measurements correctly and print out our chart before taking your measurements and ordering your wedding dress.

Do not worry about the numbers. The worst thing you can do is wear a dress that is too tight. A properly fitting dress is always more flattering than one you squeeze into for the sake of a size label.

Get a friend to take the measurements for you, it is not possible to do it accurately by yourself.

Do not pull the tape measure too tight- it should rest lightly on your body.

Make sure you use inches OR centimetres not a mixture of both.

Write each measurement down as you take it

Once you have taken your measurements start again and check each one.

TO START MEASUREMENTS

Stand up straight with equal weight on both feet and arms resting easily at sides. Look straight ahead of you.

BUST

If you have not got your wedding lingerie yet wear a bra and panties that are similar to the style you will wear. Your bust should be measured at the fullest while you stand straight with your arms at your sides.

WAIST

Tie a string lightly around your waist it will naturally settle at your waistline. Measure your waist where the string sits.

HIP

Measure 8-10 "below the waist to find the fullest hip. Measure the fullest part of the hip, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.

LENGTH

Dress length is taken from the knob at the back of the neck to the bottom of the hem. Back length is from the knob at the back of your neck to the string around your waist. Skirt lengths without waistbands are taken from natural waist at the center back to the bottom of the hem. Skirt lengths with waistbands are taken from the center back, starting at the bottom of the waistband to the bottom of the hem.
