Sizes vary by designer

A size in one label can be a different size in another. That is why the number in your closet is not a reliable guide.

Measurements come first

Your stylist takes measurements at the appointment and orders from them. This is the standard way a gown is ordered, and it is more accurate than choosing by a familiar size.

Alterations finish the fit

A gown is usually ordered to fit the largest measurement and then tailored down. That is expected, and it gives the gown a more polished fit.

Undergarments change everything

Bring what you plan to wear on the day, or ask your stylist for guidance, so the fitting reflects the finished look.

If your fit changes

Tell your seamstress early. Small changes are usually easy to accommodate when we know ahead of time.
