The aim of this page is to provide the best possible guide as to what size dress will be perfect for you! We have endeavoured to provide you with as much, and as accurate, information as possible for each dress in our collection, but please remember that a ‘size' is a guide only and that measurements are also just an indication. Every person's body shape and dimensions are unique and nothing will be certain until you have the dress on! Measurements for our dresses can be found on the individual dress description pages. Please note that for many of the ‘flowing' dress styles there is potential for one size to fit a range of measurements.

Some handy tips for measuring are:

Get someone to help you if at all possible as reading the tape measure correctly whilst holding it in the correct position can sometimes be difficult! If taking measurements on your own using a piece of string may be helpful. Place the string around your body at the appropriate places and then measure it off the body.
Keep the tape/string firm but NOT tight.
Measure OVER your underwear.
To ensure the most accurate measurements and best possible fit we would recommend that you have your measurements taken by a seamstress.
