Sizing Should Feel Simple
Every body is different, and every gown has its own structure, silhouette, fabric, and level of support.
A size that feels ideal in a stretch or draped gown may fit differently in a structured, corseted, fitted, or heavily embellished style.
Use this guide as your starting point rather than relying only on the size printed inside another garment.
Before choosing
Measurements Matter Most
Compare your bust, waist, hips, and height rather than selecting a size based only on your usual Australian dress size.
When your measurements fall across different sizes, the most suitable choice will depend on the gown’s most structured or fitted area.
Our team can review your measurements and preferred gown before you order.

Illustrated measuring guide
How to Measure Yourself
Use a soft fabric measuring tape and measure over fitted undergarments or light clothing. Stand naturally, keep the tape level, and do not pull it tightly into the body.
Having another person assist you can improve accuracy, particularly when measuring the bust and back.
Step 2
Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, usually above the belly button and below the ribcage.
Bend gently to one side—the natural crease usually indicates your waistline.
Step 3
Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and lower body.
Check the tape from the side to ensure it remains level and has not moved upward at the back.
Step 4
Height
Stand straight without shoes and measure from the top of your head to the floor.
Also tell us the heel height you expect to wear so the gown length can be considered accurately.
Record your measurements in centimetres and repeat each measurement twice before submitting an order or requesting personalised styling guidance.
Measure with confidence
A Simple Measuring Process
Prepare
Wear fitted undergarments, remove bulky clothing, and use a flexible fabric measuring tape.
Measure
Stand naturally and take every measurement twice without holding your breath or pulling the tape tightly.
Compare
Compare all measurements together and consider the structure and silhouette of your preferred gown.
Choosing your starting size
Best-Fit Guidance
- Consider bust, waist, hips, and height together rather than relying on only one measurement.
- When a gown is fitted through the hips, choose a size that comfortably accommodates the hip measurement.
- For structured or corseted bodices, bust and waist measurements may be the most important starting point.
- Stretch, draped, and relaxed silhouettes may allow more flexibility than heavily structured designs.
- Embellished or non-stretch fabrics may offer less flexibility than jersey, mesh, or stretch fabrics.
- When alterations are planned, the ideal starting size depends on which areas can be adjusted without changing the design.
Fit consideration
Between Sizes?
Being between sizes is completely normal. The most suitable option usually depends on the gown’s least flexible or most fitted area.
It may be easier to tailor a slightly larger gown than to add room to a gown that is too small, although this varies by design.
Proportion consideration
Petite or Tall?
Height can influence hem length, waist placement, torso proportion, sleeve length, and the position of embellishments or design seams.
Include your full height and expected heel height when requesting personalised advice.
Support consideration
Fuller Bust or Curvier Fit?
A fuller bust or more defined hip measurement may require a different starting size depending on the gown’s support, neckline, fabric, and internal construction.
Our team can help identify styles that provide the coverage, structure, and support you prefer.
