...Your Fairy Godmother

Bust Measurement
The bust measurement does not mean your bra size.
Measured at the fullest part of the bust.
It is best done wearing the bra/corset you plan to wear with your gown. Measure comfortably - not tight.

Waist Measurement
This is a bit trickier as you may be short or long waisted...
that plus the fact that dress styles can be high or long waisted.
It is best to measure your waist at the narrowest as this will be the important area.
Always take a comfortable measurement, not tight.

Hips Measurement
At the widest part of this hips...this is not as important for gowns with full skirts.

Other Measurements
We can provide other measurements as needed...especially for bridal gowns we have in stock.
You may be concerned about fullness in sleeves, neck, sleeve length.
We will do our best to provide measurements for special orders.ed leaving you a tank style; straps can be added to a strapless dr

Tips for Fit
Most gowns do come with up to 2" to let out of side seams.
Some have a bit more, others have nothing.
In cases where you need more room, a seamstress can install gussets under the arm. Remember, most of us need alterations for proper fit. A good seamstress can work miracles...don't panic!
Few of us are the perfect proportions created by the designers. It is always easier to take in than let out. If you have any doubt, purchase the larger size.
If you lose weight, great BUT do not count on losing weight. For your fitting, you will need your shoes, under garments, crinoline if you are wearing one. These all affect fit and length of the dress. Measurements for our instock gowns are actual measurements of the dress.
Measurements for special order gowns are based on the standard size chart and can vary +- 1/2 inch.
