Bridal sizing is very different from street sizing, and each designer interprets measurements differently. The best place to begin is with your measurements. Share them with us, and we will guide you toward the size and gown that will work best for you. As a general rule, a wedding dress can almost always be taken in, but it cannot be let out, so choosing the closest fit is essential.
