Most women love dresses! But make sure they fit well - bad fitting dresses are not comfortable wearing, and they don´t look good either. Let us help you find your right dress size...
How to Measure Dress Size?
To determine your US dress size, you need to measure your Waist, Hips (Seat) and Bust. But don´t worry, measuring is easy. See illustration and guide below.
Bust: Measure circumference around the bust at the fullest part. Use a flexible measuring tape, and keep it parallel with the floor.
Waist: Measure your body around your natural waistline. Your waistline is usually just above your belly button (narrowest part of torso). Not sure where you waistline is? Stand in front of a mirror, and bend to one side. Your waistline is simply where you can see a natural indentation in torso on this side.
Hips (seat): Measure circumference around your hips (seat) at the fullest part.

Petite/Tall Size Chart
Dress length is 'standard' or 'regular' if the size label doesn't say anything else. Standard/regular length is the right choice for women with body height between 5'3'' and 5'10''. For shorter or taller women, sizes 'petite' or 'long'/'tall' are recommended. See chart below for more information:
