How To Measure Your Waist, Bust and Hips

Here’s the important bit – how to actually measure yourself!

There are three key points: your bust, waist and hips. You should measure against your body, not through clothes, to get the most accurate measurements. Use a flexible tape measure and make sure it’s not too tight or too loose. Bust (1): Measure around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring the tape measure is straight across your back. Waist (2): Measure around the smallest part of your waist. To find this, bend to one side like a teapot and where the crease forms is your natural waist. Hips (3): With your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips, usually 20cm down from the natural waistline.

These are the most common measurements for a woman whose height is 5’6″ (168cm) and go from a UK size 4 to a size 26. They’re accurate for a wedding dress or if you’re in a two piece wedding dress with a separate top and skirt. However, these measurements should only be used as a guide because – as we know – fit varies depending on cut, fabric, style and brand.

How To Use The Size Guide

Although your wedding dress shop should (*should*) measure you, it’s important to have your own measurements to hand. It important for being able to call ahead and see if a boutique has a sample dress in stock in your accurate size, for ordering the right size dress online or in store, and being able to tell a seamstress what you need altering. You can use this size chart to convert either your dress size into inches or your measurments into your dress size. Bear in mind that each wedding dress designer will have a standard inches-to-dress-size chart that is specific to them. Using this chart, you can easily compare your bust, waist and hip measurements to the size guide from your chosen bridalwear designer. Your dress size in normal clothing might be very different to your designer’s sizing. Just remember that’s no reflection on you! If you come up with a size 14 bust, size 12 waist in inches and size 16 hips, we recommend you go for a size 16 dress and get the rest of it altered down to fit your body. This will be most flattering on your body, and it’s important to feel as comfortable as possible on your big day. Want to know what our brides think about dress sizes?
