Important Sizing & Fit Information
Every Fanciful Doll design is unique. Please read our sizing guidance before ordering to help you find your perfect fit.
Measuring Your Bust
Measuring too loosely is the most common bust sizing mistake we see. If you measure loosely, your dress may also fit loosely across the bust.
- Measure across the fullest part of your bust while wearing an unpadded bra.
- Stand tall and keep the tape level all the way around.
- Measure firmly and snugly, not loosely, as you would like your dress to fit, without discomfort.
- Do not measure underneath your bust.
- Your bust measurement is not your bra size. A 34C bra does not mean your bust measures 34 inches.
Measuring Your Waist
- Measure at the narrowest point of your natural waist, usually around an inch above your belly button.
- Keep the measuring tape level and comfortably firm without restricting your breathing.
- Our dresses have waist seams at varying heights, and each design is cut to accommodate this.
- Always measure your natural waist rather than guessing where the dress's waist seam will sit.
Wearing a Corset Over a Dress?
If you intend to wear a corset over a dress, please take your measurements while wearing the intended garment.
This allows you to account for the additional fabric when comparing your measurements with our size chart.
Do I Need to Measure My Hips?
No. Our dresses feature generously cut skirts, so hip measurements are not required when selecting your size.
Understanding Dress Lengths
Our dress lengths are graded according to size. All measurements below are in inches.
- Gowns: 60.5–62.5 inches
- Midi dresses: 46.5–48.5 inches
- Mini dresses: typically 33.5–35.5 inches, depending on the design.
Please contact us for specific mini dress measurements.
Please note: Fabric weight can affect how a dress falls. For example, a heavy sequin gown may appear longer when worn than a lightweight organza gown.
