SIZING
WHERE CAN I FIND YOUR SIZE CHART?
HOW DO I MEASURE FOR A PLUS SIZE GOWN?
Watch our video for How to Measure your curvy customers.
It's a great sales tool for your store staff.
Bust: Measure all the way around the fullest part of her chest over, not under, the bra cups.
Waist: Measure all the way around the narrowest part of her body, just above her belly button.
Hips: Have her stand with her feet and legs together then measure all the way around the fullest part of her lower body.
Step 1:
Use a cloth measuring tape to measure your customer's bust, waist and hips. . Avoid a metal tape measure. You won't get accurate results!
- Wrap the measuring tape around her body snugly. Be carefully not to make it too tight!
- Write down each customer's measurements for your records.
Step 2:
Compare your customer's measurements with the bust, waist and hips measurements on the Sydney's Closet size chart.
The dress must be large enough to fit the bust, waist and hips.
Tip: If any measurement is too small, take a larger size. Between sizes? Always order the larger one!
Step 3:
Never guess!
- Sizes for special occasion dresses vary widely depending on the designer.
- Select a dress style that fits and flatter sher curves.
- Focus on fit not size.
- Tell your customer to plan on alterations.
- Letting out a dress is almost never an option.
- Between sizes? Get the larger one.
