Here’s how each option works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Custom Sizing: Have Your Dress Made to Your Measurements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you love a dress exactly as it is but are unsure about standard sizing, custom sizing is the simplest option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the product page, select the custom size option instead of choosing a standard dress size. You’ll then be asked to provide your measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For most wedding dresses<\/a>, we need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Height<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bust<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Waist<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hips<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hollow to Hem<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Hollow to hem is measured from the hollow at the base of your neck down to where you want the hem of the dress to fall. This measurement helps us determine the overall length and proportions of your gown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extra Measurements for Dresses with Sleeves<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your chosen wedding dress has sleeves, we’ll also need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Shoulder to Shoulder<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Arm Girth<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Arm Length<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
These measurements help us make the sleeves in better proportion to your shoulders and arms rather than relying entirely on standard sizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When measuring, use your actual body measurements rather than your usual clothing size. We also recommend having someone help you measure, since measurements such as shoulder width and hollow to hem can be difficult to take accurately by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"customize](\"https:\/\/www.inweddingdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wedding-dress-20260822-6-1024x603.jpg\")

Maybe you’ve found a dress with exactly the silhouette and lace you want, but you would prefer long sleeves. Perhaps you love the bodice but want a different neckline. Or the dress is almost perfect except you’d like a longer train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
