If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger size for comfort
Consider the dress style - fitted styles may require precise sizing, while flowing styles offer more flexibility
Check the fabric composition - stretchy fabrics offer more give than structured materials
For formal occasions, consider professional alterations for a perfect fit
Different designers may have slight variations - always check specific brand sizing when available

Choose reputable cleaners experienced with designer garments
