Sizing & Measurements
GENERAL
Made-to-order and Priority Made-to-order wedding dresses are handmade to your size range and shoulder to floor height in our Australian studio.
To determine your size range, we take your bust, under bust, waist and hip measurements and compare these against our Size Range Chart below, to make your gown.
You will need to provide your measurements 6 months before your wedding date, if your wedding is less than 6 months away, some styles can be made as a priority Made-to-order for an additional fee of $300AUD.
Our made-to-order timeframes applied to a 6-month period.
WHAT IS A SIZE RANGE?
A size range is a 5cm range that your measurements fall within and are taken at four to seven different areas of the body to determine the best fit for your shape.
For example: a bride may measure an XL bust, L under bust, XL waist and M hip, and we make your gown to the correct size range in each area.
The reason this process works is because our fabrics are very forgiving due to the stretch or bias elements in the design.
