Fitting Tips:

  • 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
