- Bust
Wear the bra you will be wearing with the dress, and pull the tape across the fullest part of the bust. - Waist
Bend to one side to find the crease, that's your natural waist. Pull tape across the narrowest part and keep tape slightly loose to allow for breathing room. - Hips
Stand straight and pull tape across the widest part of the hips and rear. - Hollow to Floor
Stand straight with bare feet together and measure from the center of the collarbone to the floor. - Height (Bare Foot)
Stand straight with bare feet together and measure from the top of the head to the floor.
SIZING NOTE
Chiffon styles - If you are measuring between sizes, we suggest ordering the larger size.
Satin styles - Our Satin styles run small, we encourage ordering the next size up from your measurements.

Does the maid of honor wear a different dress than the bridesmaids?
The role of the maid of honor is an important and special one, and with that often comes a unique dress. While traditionally the bridesmaids and the maid of honor match in dress color and style, there is no hard and fast rule that says they have to. Ultimately, the decision of what the maid of honor wears is up to the bride and her maid of honor.
If the bride and her maid of honor decide to choose a different dress for the maid of honor, there are several ways they can do it. The maid of honor could wear a dress that is the same color but a different style or with different details. She could also wear a dress that is the same style but a different color. A popular option is for the maid of honor to wear a dress that is a different color, style, and fabric than the bridesmaids. This is a great way to add a little something extra to the bridal party without being too over the top.
The maid of honor could also choose to wear a different accessory, such as a brooch or a special hair piece, to set her apart. This is a subtle way to show her importance without having to change her dress.
The choice of whether or not the maid of honor wears a different dress than the bridesmaids is ultimately up to the bride and her maid of honor. Some brides choose to have all of the bridesmaids and the maid of honor match, while other brides prefer to give the maid of honor a special dress that sets her apart. Either way, it’s an important decision that will help make the wedding day extra special.
