Bride Measurement Guide

How To Take Your Bridal Measurements

For the best fit, please measure with a soft tape measure and follow the guide below. If you can, ask someone to help, it’s more accurate and much easier.

Start Measuring
Measure in centimetres (cm)
Wear well-fitting underwear or shapewear you’ll wear on the day
Tape should be snug, not tight

Before You Start

You’ll need a soft tape measure, a mirror, and ideally a friend. Stand naturally, don’t suck in, and keep the tape level where relevant.

What To Wear

Wear the underwear or shapewear you plan to wear with your gown. Avoid bulky clothing.

How To Hold The Tape

Keep the tape flat, not twisted. It should sit snug against your body without digging in.

Take Each Measurement Twice

Repeat each measurement to confirm accuracy. If it differs, take a third and use the average.

Measurements

Follow the guide below for each measurement shown in your measurement chart.

Arm-hole

Measure all around the arm opening area where the sleeve or bodice opening would sit.

Upper-arm

Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. Keep your arm relaxed by your side and the tape comfortably snug.

Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back.

Waist

Measure at your natural waist, which is usually the narrowest part of your torso.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape level.

Height

Measure your full height from the top of your head to the floor while standing straight and barefoot.

Hollow To Hem

Measure from the hollow at the base of your neck straight down to the finished hem length.

FAQs

What If I’m Between Two Sizes?

Send your exact measurements and we’ll advise the best fit.

Can I Measure Myself?

Yes, but it’s best to have someone help. If measuring solo, use a mirror to keep the tape level and take each measurement twice.

Should I Measure Over Clothing?

No. Measure over underwear or shapewear only. Thick clothing can affect accuracy.

What If I’m Unsure About A Measurement?

That’s completely fine. Send through what you have and we can guide you if anything needs checking.
