Q: How do I know what size to order?
A: Sizing varies by designer and the style of the garment, determined by measurements for your bust, waist and hips. We suggest that you choose the size that comfortably fits all of your measurements. If you are in between sizes we recommend that you select the larger size so that you may have it tailored for a perfect fit. We further encourage you to send us measurements with your order so that we can pre-measure the product to further ensure proper fit.
Q: How do I determine my measurements?
A: We recommend having your measurements taken by a professional tailor or seamstress or having someone help you take them. Measurements should be taken in the undergarments you plan to wear. Make sure to keep the measuring tape comfortably loose, like you'd want your garment to fit. Bust: measure the fullest part of your chest. Waist: measure the narrowest part of your torso. Hips: measure the fullest part of your hips.
