sIZING ADVICE
HOW TO FIND THE BEST FIT ~
Finding your dream wedding dress is magical, but understanding your sizing + measurements can make the experience even smoother. At Sisters of Grace Bridal Outlet, we want every bride to feel confident, comfortable, + ready to say “yes” to the perfect dress. Here’s our guide to bridal sizing + how we take measurements to help you find the gown made for you.
UNDERSTANDING BRIDAL SIZING ~
Bridal sizes are often different from high street sizing. Many gowns run smaller than UK ready-to-wear, so it’s common for brides to need a size or two larger than their usual clothing. At Sisters of Grace, our dresses range from size 8 to 22, + with our trusted seamstress team, most gowns can be altered down 2–3 sizes or let out slightly to achieve the perfect fit.
Because we operate as an outlet with one-of-a-kind, off-the-peg dresses, our size availability can change daily. Don’t worry though — our stylists are experts at helping brides find the most dreamy options for their shape, style, + wedding day vision.
hOW TO TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS ~
Accurate measurements are key to finding the right fit. During your appointment, your stylist will measure the following areas:
✦⋆ Bust ~ We measure around the fullest part of your chest to ensure the bodice fits comfortably + beautifully.
✦⋆ Waist ~ Your natural waist is measured to give a fitted shape without being restrictive.
✦⋆ Hips ~ Measuring the fullest part of your hips helps to ensure the gown flows perfectly.
✦⋆ Note your height + shoe height to ensure your dress can be taken up where required (this is a common alteration)
All measurements are taken professionally + discreetly in our relaxed studio, ensuring you feel completely comfortable throughout the process.
why MEASUREMENTS MATTER ~
At Sisters of Grace, we take your measurements once you’ve said “yes” to your dress. These are recorded to show why that size works perfectly for you + to guide any alterations needed for a flawless finish.
