How To Get The Best Size (the very first time)
Formal gowns are mostly designed with fancy embellishments and lining.  They are not stretchy and worn loose.  Be advised that just like a bride's wedding dress, your gown has to be altered as well with a professional seamstress.  It is better to order a size larger, for if you gain a few pounds (heavens, no!), the dress can still fit.  If you order the size you are now and today, if you lose weight--the dress can be taken in.  But if you gain weight, hmm...I am not sure whether there is enough material on both sides.  So please be practical in your size selection as typically, the wedding is still months away, correct?
1.  The size chart states the Fabric or Material measurements, not your body measurements.  If you see that a dress is less fitted at the hips, than the bust and waist measurements are more important than the hips.  Use a flexible, vinyl measuring tape.  Measure with a little looseness--snug, but with a little looseness.    Note your body measurements - bust/waist/hip in inches.  Select a size that is larger by at least an inch.  If you are in between sizes, go one size larger.  "Better to take in than to let out."
2.
If you are unsure of your size, please send me your body measurements - bust/waist/hips.  I will gladly suggest a size for you before your purchase.
If you feel you have larger arms, longer arms, wide shoulders, too tall, too short, etc., let me know and I will do the best I can, for sure.  I want you to happy with your purchase that you will wear with pride, on that special day.
