Size Guide: How to Measure for Your Perfect Fit

Getting the right measurements is the first step to a competition dress that feels like it was made just for you. Follow these simple steps, and we’ll craft a fit that moves with you on the stage!


✅ Required Measurements (Must-Have)

These 3 key measurements ensure your dress fits perfectly around the core.

1. Bust

Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it parallel to the floor.

2. Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, usually just above your belly button.

3. Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level.


    ⭐ Optional Measurements (For Extra Tailoring)

    These details help us refine the fit for your unique style and dress design.

    4. Shoulder to Knee

    Measure from the top of your shoulder down to your knee, along the side of your body.

    5. Shoulder to Waist

    Measure from the top of your shoulder to your natural waist, along your back.

    6. Arm

    Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm, keeping the tape comfortably loose.


    💡 Pro Tips for Accurate Measurements

    • Stand naturally, don’t hold your breath or suck in your stomach.
    • Use a soft, flexible measuring tape (not a rigid ruler).
    • Keep the tape snug but not tight — you should be able to slip one finger under it.
    • Measure yourself in the undergarments you plan to wear with your dress.
