How to take your measurements
Follow these instructions to find your perfect size. Measure barefoot and over undergarments for accuracy.
Unit of measurement
The chart below is in centimeters. To convert to inches, divide by 2.54 (1 cm = 0.39 in).
Standard measurements
| Code | Measurement |
|---|---|
| A | Height (without shoes) |
| B | Hollow to floor (without shoes) |
| C | Bust |
| D | Waist |
| E | Hips |
| G | Shoulder to shoulder |
| K | Shoe height |
For long-sleeve dresses
If your dress has long sleeves, we will also need these measurements:
| Code | Measurement |
|---|---|
| F | Armseye (armhole) |
| H | Arm length (sleeve length) |
| I | Bicep circumference (at fullest part of upper arm) |
How to take each measurement
- A — Height: Your full body height measured barefoot, from the top of your head to the floor. Stand straight with heels together against a wall.
- B — Hollow to floor: Measure from the hollow of your neck (the dip at the base of the collarbone) down to the floor, barefoot. This determines the length of the dress.
- C — Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and under your arms. Do not pull too tight.
- D — Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso — usually about 2–3 cm above your belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- E — Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
- G — Shoulder to shoulder: Measure across your back from the edge of one shoulder bone to the other, keeping the tape straight across.
- K — Shoe height: Measure the height of the heel on the shoes you plan to wear with the dress. This affects the overall fall of the gown.
- F — Armseye (armhole): Measure around the armhole — start at the top of the shoulder seam, go under your arm, and back to the starting point. This determines sleeve fit.
- H — Arm length: Measure from the top of the shoulder seam (where a sleeve would start) down to the wrist bone, along the outside of your arm.
- I — Bicep circumference: Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. Keep your arm relaxed and extended at your side.

Reference values — please confirm with the boutique. These are standard reference measurements based on market charts; the boutique will provide your final measurements during fitting.
How to measure
- Wear fitted undergarments or light clothing. Do not measure over bulky clothing.
- Stand barefoot, with weight evenly distributed on both feet.
- Measure each area at least twice for accuracy.
- Use a flexible tape measure, and keep it parallel to the floor on horizontal measurements.
- Do not pull too tightly; the tape should be snug but not compressing.
To avoid sizing issues, we recommend choosing a lace-up back. If you prefer a zipper or buttons, please measure carefully. Allow 1 to 2 cm of variance due to manual measurement.
