Selecting a Size

Each manufacturer offers their own size chart, which reflects how they cut
their sizes. Please see Size Charts on our site. It is important that you
follow the individual designer's chart to decide your size. Keep in mind
that the measurements are taken to determine the closest size to be ordered
and that the garment will not be custom-made to the exact measurements.
Almost every gown will need some type of adjustment.

Prior to selecting your size to order, we suggest reviewing the information
provided in How to Measure. The designer will be unable to accommodate any
changes to the size once the order has been placed.

The customer is responsible for the size ordered and or whether or not to
order special length. House of Brides cannot assume any responsibility for
measurements.

BUST:

Put your heels together and arms down at your side, position the tape so it
covers the widest part of the back and the fullest part of the bust. The
type of bra worn, can make a difference. Do not use your bra size

WAIST :

Measure at your natural waistline. Do not pull the tape taught or hold in
your stomach unnaturally.

HIPS (for sheath or straight garment):

Measure at the largest part of the hip. Place your heels together and
position the tape around the widest part of the bottom and bring across the
widest part of the thigh. Always place a thumb behind the tape and do not
pull it tight. If the style being worn is an "A-Line''' gown, place your
hands at your natural hipline and with heels together, position the tape
around the fullest part of the hip.
