Early Promise Idyll Dress

• Please check the size guide below and measure yourself to confirm the correct size for you. All size guides differ, so you should not choose your usual size without measuring!
• If you are between sizes and unsure which to choose, then please contact us via the Instant Chat and we will help to advise
• Please note that your dress may come labelled with a numeric size.  This is not an error, and the size will correspond to the lettered size chosen
• If you are intending to wear your corset over a dress please take your measurements whilst wearing the intended garment and then compare to our size chart
• Please see further guidance below size chart for how to measure

Please see guidance below for how to take your measurements:

Bust

• The bust should be measured across the top of the bust cups, at the widest point.  Please stand tall and ensure the tape measure is level
• Take your bust measurement while wearing an unpadded bra
• Remember that the bust is a 'squishy' area.  You should measure your bust as tightly as you require the dress to fit.  The biggest mistake we see is customer's measuring their bust too loosely!
• DO NOT measure underneath the bust.  The bust measurement is across the top of your bust cups
• Your bust measurement is NOT the same as your bra size.  So if you wear a 34C bra, then your bust measurement is not 34 inches

Waist

• Take your waist measurement at the narrowest point of the torso, usually an inch or so above the belly button
• Our dresses have waist seams which hit at varying heights of the torso.  Your dress will already have been adapted to suit this.  For example, a high waist seam will be cut larger to fit a wider point of your torso.  Do not guess about where our waist seams will fit, only measure at the point described above
• You may take the waist measurement firmly but not overly tight to facilitate breathing
• Try to ensure the waist measurement is level

Hips

• We do not require your hip measurement as the skirts of our dresses are cut wide, therefore the hip measurement is not important

Lengths

• The lengths of our dresses are graded according to dress size
• Our gown length is 60.5-62.5 inches
• Our midi length is 46.5-48.5 inches
• Our mini length varies depending on the style.  Most minis are 33.5-35.5 inches, however please check with us for specifics
• REMEMBER that dresses made from different fabrics will vary in the worn length.  For example, a heavy sequin gown will appear longer than a light organza gown due to the way the fabric falls
