Measuring Guidelines Tips
If a bridal store consultant or a professional seamstress is not available to measure you for your gown, it can be done yourself. It is very important you dress in just a good fitting bra and your underwear. Please do not measure over thick clothing.
Bust: Take a measuring tape around your back at bust level and over the fullest part of your bust. Pull the tape measure snug, but not too tight or too loose. Please do not give your bra size for your measurement.
Waist: Your waist measurement should be around the smallest part of your waist – typically where your belly button is. Your waist is not your hip-hugger pants.
Hips: You have hip bones and you have your buttocks. Measure around the fullest part of your buttocks.
Extra Length
Extra length is available for most bridal and bridal party gowns. One manufacturer – Jordan Fashions - actually includes extra length which each gown at no additional cost.
Extra length is recommended for anyone over 5’8” and there is an additional charge.
