Measurements for Standard Gowns
 AUS Sizes


 If you are in between two sizes we HIGHLY recommend that you choose the larger of the two which will allow for alterations.  It is easier to take a gown in rather than let it out.

Please note that all of our gowns are made to order.

Please do not assume that your regular clothes size is the same as your gown size, we highly recommend that you measure yourself first and compare your measurements to our size chart to determine the best fit as there are no refunds if you have selected the incorrect size. 

PLEASE NOTE
Please use the size chart below to work out your size.
Your gown size may be very different to your regular clothes size so please do not just assume that you
are the same as your regular clothes size.
To work out your size simply measure you bust, waist and hips and then compare it to the size chart.
If you are require any help regarding your standard size please email us at  dressofyourdreams@bigpond.com

Length = Hollow to Hem for Full Length Dresses (base of neck to floor, with shoes on) Shorter dresses are either a standard short, mid or tea length. IF YOU REQUIRE THE LENGTH TO BE SHORTER OR LONGER YOU MUST LET US KNOW WHEN ORDERING OTHERWISE THE DRESS WILL BE MADE IN THE STANDARD LENGTH. ** If you require a gown that is larger than a AUS 30 you can purchase a custom gown.                                                                                             Floor Length         Mid /Knee Length          How to take Measurements to work out your Standard Gown Size Bust - Not your bra size! Take the tape around your back and bring it across the fullest part of your bust. Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides. You must wear a bra when taking this measurement. Waist - This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it is an inch or so above your belly button. Also known as the natural waistline. Hips - This is the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone. Measurement is taken approximately 7 inches below the natural waistline. Hollow to Hem - Start the tape at the hollow at the base of your neck and measure down to where you want the hem. VERY IMPORTANT!!!  Be sure you are wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your special day.                             Flower Girl/Junior Size Chart  Age 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Height (cm's) (head to floor) 35-36" 36-40" 40-44" 44-46" 46-48" 48-50" 50-51" 51-54" 54-56" 56-57" 57-58" Chest (inches) 21" 22" 23" 24" 25" 26" 27" 28" 28.5" 29" 30" Waist (inches) 20" 20.5" 21" 21.5" 22" 23" 23.5" 24" 24.5" 25" 25.5" Hips (inches) 22" 23" 24" 25" 26" 27" 28" 29" 30" 31" 32" Age 13: Chest 31", Waist 26", Hips 33", Height 58-60" Age 14: Chest 32", Waist 27", Hips 34", Height 60-61" ** Note dresses can also be made for 1 year olds, these will be custom made.
