Fit Tips for Formal & Evening Gowns
- Mermaid / Fishtail styles: These styles are form-fitting through the hips. Prioritize your hip measurement when selecting a size.
- Strapless styles: Prioritize your bust measurement to ensure a secure fit.
- Satin & sequin fabrics: These fabrics have little to no stretch. If you are between sizes, size up.
- Train & maxi gowns: Designed for heights 5'2"–5'5" (157–165 cm). Taller customers may wish to have the hem adjusted.
