1 Please check our measure guide to get your measurements, you also can get your measurements for free from your local bridal shops, they usually offer free service to measure for you. If you have questions on how to measure, just feel free to contact us.

Our dresses are available in sizes 0-30. For the best fit, make sure the difference between your bust, waist, hip, and hollow-to-floor measurements (with shoes on) is no more than 1 inch from the standard size. If the difference is larger, we recommend choosing a custom size.

For hip measurements, measure the widest part. If your butt is larger than your hips, please include your butt measurement as well. There’s no extra charge for custom sizing—just enter your measurements on custom size chart, and we will confirm them with you.

Important Note for Plus Sizes (US14+):

For dresses in plus sizes, the ruching and draping may not look exactly as shown due to the longer pleating. If your measurements are inaccurate, this difference will be more noticeable. Please ensure your measurements are as accurate as possible to get the best fit.

For the best fit, your bust, waist, hip, and hollow-to-floor measurements (with shoes on) should not differ by more than 1 inch from the standard size. Simply choosing a larger size won’t guarantee a good fit. For example, if your bust is 1 inch larger but your waist is 4 inches larger, the dress won’t fit properly.
If the difference in measurements is greater than 1 inch, please select a custom size. If the difference is less than 1 inch, then the standard size will work best.

Each dress is checked by 4 different seamstresses to ensure the fit is accurate, we can make sure the error is less than 1 inch. So please make sure your measurements are correct before placing your order, the custom dresses are final sale and are not refundable.If the dress doesn’t fit as expected, there are 3 options:
1), Have it altered at a local shop, and we’ll offer a partial refund based on our adjustment reimbursement policy.

Based on our 13 years of experience, we’ve found that the return rate for plus size dresses, especially mermaid styles, is very high—over 70%. This is because plus size customers often have unique body shapes (larger waist, hips, or butt) that standard sizes can't accommodate, leading to returns and reorders for custom dresses. This not only wastes time but also costs extra money for shipping, and with wedding dates being fixed, delays can cause major issues.
To reduce returns and save you time and money, we strongly recommend ordering a custom size instead of a standard plus size dress, especially if your measurements differ from the standard size by more than 1 inch. If you do order a plus size dress, please note that the ruching and draping may not look exactly as shown, due to longer pleating shape. Any measurement discrepancies will be more noticeable, so please ensure your measurements are accurate.

If your measurements don’t match the size of the dress, the ruching and draping may not look as flattering. This is not an issue with the dress itself—it’s about whether the dress matches your measurements. For the best fit, make sure the difference between your bust, waist, hip, and hollow-to-floor measurements (with shoes on) is no more than 1 inch.

The ruching and draping on our dresses are fixed with stitching, as this is the only way to hold the pleats in place. Since the fabric is soft satin and stretchy, if your measurements are larger than the dress, it will be tight and the pleats will flatten out. If you take off the dress, the stitches may stretch, but you can adjust the pleats by gently pulling them to the sides to restore their shape.

If your measurements are smaller than the dress, the pleats may loosen and lose their shape. In this case, we recommend taking the dress to a local seamstress for adjustments.

For more details, please check our blog: Why You See Stitches Under Pleats

We also offer an Adjustments & Reimbursements policy, which you can review here: Adjustments & Reimbursements
