Size Guide

Cut to you

Australian sizing is our standard, with conversions for US, EU and UK. Made-to-order and custom gowns are tailored to your exact measurements — so the size on the label is only ever a starting line.

A different kind of size

A number that begins the conversation

A covered gown is unforgiving of a guessed size. A sleeve that pulls, a bodice that strains, a neckline that gapes — these are the differences a millimetre makes. So we treat your measurements as the brief, not your dress-tag size.

Find your AU starting size here, then let us refine it. Made-to-order pieces are adjusted to you at fitting; custom gowns are cut from your numbers alone. Either way, nothing is left to a standard chart.

Take four measurements

How to measure, properly

1

Bust

Take the tape around the fullest part of the bust, kept level front to back and never pulled tight — wear the bra you'll wear under the gown.

2

Waist

Find the narrowest part of your natural waist, just above the belly button, and let the tape sit where your body bends to the side.

3

Hip

Stand with your feet together and measure the fullest part of the hips and seat, the tape running parallel to the floor all the way round.

4

Height & heel

Tell us your height in bare feet and the heel you intend to wear — that single number is how the hem is set to break exactly where it should.

A gown should hold you without ever holding you back — covered, yes, but never constrained.

The fit calculator

Enter your measurements for a starting AU size. Because our gowns are covered and structured, we bias toward the size that never pulls — then confirm the final fit in person. Fall between sizes and you're already in custom territory.

Enter at least one measurement for a starting AU size. Final fit is always confirmed in person.
