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.

Still not sure?

Email your bust, waist and hip measurements plus the dress you're looking at to info@oonora.com and we'll tell you which size to order. We'd rather help you get it right first time than process a return.
