 MEASURING TIPS

*Bust measurement is not equal to your bra size. When measuring your bust, please wear the bra you plan to wear with your wedding dress. 

 

*When having your measurements taken, make sure and use a knowledgeable seamstress that has a plastic tape measure. 

Don't use cloth because it might stretch. 

 

*Place your arms relaxed by your side when be measured.
