Size Charts
The three most important aspects of buying any formal gown...Measure
Measure
and finally, Measure!
Yes, it's that important. If you do not measure, it will not fit. Formal gowns traditionally run smaller in size than average street clothing. In addition, each designer uses their own measurements for making their gowns. When purchasing a formal gown, it is important to remember that almost all gowns require some type of alteration for a perfect fit.
Getting the perfect fit is easy! Just follow these steps:
1. Have someone do the measuring, do not measure yourself
2. Use a flexible seamstress measuring tape (available at most drug stores).
3. If in doubt, call Christina Gowns at 1-866-345-GOWN
4. Make sure you are relaxed and arms down. It helps to be wearing the same shoes and undergarments that you will be using with your gown.
Bust-Measure around fullest part in unpadded bra (DO NOT USE BRA SIZE!)
Waist-Measure approximately 1" above the belly button next to the skin
Hips-Measure around fullest part of hips
Hollow to Hem-Measure from the base of your Hollow (where your neck meets the shoulders there is a small indentation, begin there) down to the desired hemline. Make sure you are wearing shoes of the correct height.
