These are the body measurements (in inches) that we fit garments to, but some styles may fit a wider range. Check the fit recommendations.
| Size | Bust | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 31–32” | 23–24” | 34–35” |
| S | 33–34” | 25–26” | 35–36” |
| M | 35–36” | 27–29” | 37–39” |
| L | 37–38” | 30–32” | 40–42” |
| XL | 39–40” | 33–35” | 43–45” |
| XXL | 41–43” | 36–38” | 46–48” |
LENGTH
We like our mini dresses short and sweet – generally the total length is about 31" for size S (increasing about a half an inch to an inch per size). The length depends on features like elastic or adjustable straps, so it may vary and can be customizable.
CUPPED / CORSET STYLES
For underwire cups: XS fits roughly an A–B cup, S a B–C, and so on. Shape and coverage preference are personal, but our cups are generally cut as a low balconette across all sizes.
Most of our cupped styles have lace up corset-style backs - proper back tension is key for getting cups to fit well. Tighten the lacing first, then adjust the straps. Over-tightening straps can cause gaping and poor cup fit (this is true of any cup!).
WAIST & PROPORTIONS
Waist placement varies by style (underbust, natural waist, or slightly dropped), which can affect how the dress fits and where it hits on the body.
BETWEEN SIZES
Rarely does anyone match a size chart perfectly. If you’re between sizes, consider sizing based on your bust for cupped styles, and on waist/hip for fitted, non-cupped styles. Corset backs are especially helpful if you have a fuller bust and a smaller waist. Many of our styles have a full, babydoll-style skirt—on those, you can comfortably choose your size based on bust. For more fitted styles, if you size up for bust, the waist may feel looser.
