How to measure
Bust — measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level and parallel to the floor. Wear the bra you intend to wear with the dress.
Waist — measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the navel. Keep the tape snug but don't pull it tight.
Hips — stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, roughly 20cm below your waist.
If you're between sizes
Every product page carries a fit note for that specific style — whether it runs true to size, close to the body, or generously. Read that first, because it varies by cut.
As a general rule: for fitted and bias-cut styles, size up. For A-line and pleated styles, take your usual size.
