You’ve found your dream wedding gown on the internet and done your research on the seller. You’ve asked all your questions on fabric, style, shipping prices and costs and are almost ready to place your order. Before you sign the dotted line to confirm your purchase, don’t forget to fill out the measurement sheet. It may not look like much but the measurement sheet is one of the most important parts of the transaction as it will be the basis on which your gown is made. So read on for some tips below on how to ensure you give your correct dimensions to a online wedding gown designer.
Measure After A Meal
Brides often want the smallest measurements possible but don’t do that for it may not be the most accurate. It is always best to measure after eating as you will need to allow for extra inches on your wedding day when you enjoy your own wedding banquet! Always allow for those few little extra inches as it is always easier to take in a dress to a smaller size than trying to expand a small dress into a larger size.
Don’t Cheat On Measurements
It is important to measure your dimensions exactly as they are. Don’t cheat and reduce a few inches here and there in your bid to lose some weight for the wedding. Remember that wrong measurements can mean a disaster to your dream wedding gown!
Get Help With Measurements
Don’t take your measurements alone. Always try to get a friend or relative to help you as with a good measuring tape as there are always errors in measurement you have to be careful of. Take each measurement at least 3 times and use the average measurement if they differ slightly.
Be Specific On Measurements
Before you start measuring, check with the wedding gown designer on their measurement units. Don’t convert from cm to inches or vice versa. Also check the specific parts that need to be measured. Your waist has many different sections which will give different measurements so always be specific from the start.
Good luck with your measurements and making your wedding dress through an online wedding gown designer! It is a much cheaper alternative for a made to measure wedding gown and if done properly by a reputable designer, can look absolutely beautiful!
