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 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. On cupped styles with corset lacing, proper back tension is key. Tighten the lacing first, then adjust the straps. Over-tightening straps can cause gaping and poor cup fit.
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.
FABRIC & STRETCH
Non-stretch styles will fit more precisely; elastic panels are meant to add comfort and flexibility, not full size adjustment.
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.
