Measure with undergarments similar to those you will wear with your dress. Do not measure over other clothing. Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor and pulled evenly across the body with no slack. You may want to consider getting yourself professionally measured. Consult the Size Chart to determine which size you should purchase. You can also fill in your details to get a special dress tailor-made for you.
