Measuring Instructions
|
The following describes the
measurements we require to create your dress. We recommend
you have your measurements taken by an experienced
seamstress. To assist you we have provided a printable
version to take to the seamstress. Make sure you wear a bra and/or corset similar if not the same as you intend to wear under your wedding dress and shoes with the same heel height to ensure the length of the dress is correct. Although hems can be taken up, if they have intricate lace or embellishments this can ruin the effect.
