Dress Size Chart & Measurements
Please read this before ordering.
Formal gowns are not sized like everyday clothing. A size 8 in your favorite jeans means nothing here. The only way to find the right fit is to measure yourself — and compare those numbers to the chart below. Skipping this step is the most common reason dresses don’t fit.
Important: This size chart is based on general US formal wear industry standards and is provided as a reference guide only. There is no single universal sizing standard across all brands or manufacturers — actual fit will vary depending on the specific style and its construction. Please use your measurements as your guide, not your usual clothing size.
How to Measure
Use a soft measuring tape. Measure over your undergarments, not over thick clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Ask someone to help if you can — self-measuring can be inaccurate.
- Bust: Around the fullest part of your chest, tape parallel to the ground.
- Waist: Around the narrowest part of your natural waist, about 1 inch above your belly button.
- Hips: Around the fullest part of your hips, about 7–9 inches below your waist.
- Hollow to Floor: From the hollow at the base of your throat straight down to the floor — barefoot, or wearing the heels you plan to wear.
Measure at least twice. Small errors add up, especially for fitted styles.

How to Use This Chart
Compare your measurements to the chart above. If your numbers don’t match one size perfectly — that’s completely normal. Most people don’t fit neatly into a single size.
This chart is a reference guide only. It gives you a starting point, but it cannot account for individual body proportions, posture, or how you personally prefer a dress to fit. Two people with identical measurements may feel differently in the same dress.
If you’re unsure, don’t guess — email us at supportherscouture@gmail.com with your measurements and the style you’re considering. We’ll share what information we have, and you can make the decision that feels right for you.
We believe in giving you honest information, not just telling you what you want to hear. Getting the fit right matters — to you and to us.
