How to Measure for Your Ribbon Dress
For the most accurate results, use a soft measuring tape and measure over lightweight clothing. Keep the tape comfortably close to your body without pulling it too tightly.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape measure level across your back. Ensure the tape is comfortably positioned and not too tight.
Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist. Stand naturally and avoid drawing in your stomach while measuring.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape measure level all the way around.
We recommend asking someone to help you take your measurements if possible, as this can make it easier to keep the tape measure straight and obtain an accurate result.
How to Choose the Right Ribbon Dress Size
Compare your bust, waist and hip measurements with the Ribbon Dress size chart before selecting your size.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider all three measurements rather than relying on just one. If you are unsure which size will provide the best fit, our Living Silk stylist can help you discuss your measurements before placing your order.
Every woman's proportions are different, and selecting the right size is particularly important when choosing an outfit for a wedding or formal occasion.
Understanding the Ribbon Dress Fit
The Ribbon Dress combines a flattering boat neckline with a distinctive ribbon design and a tea-length skirt. The fabric contains 47% micro modal, providing stretch and comfort.
When choosing your size, pay particular attention to the fit through the bust, waist and hips. The dress should feel comfortable when standing, sitting and moving.
If you are uncertain about the fit or would like individual advice, we encourage you to contact Living Silk before ordering.
Is the Ribbon Dress Suitable for the Mother of the Bride or Groom?
Yes. The Ribbon Dress is a beautiful option for mothers of the bride and groom who are looking for distinctive occasionwear with elegant detailing.
Its tea-length silhouette makes it suitable for a variety of wedding settings, from daytime ceremonies to formal receptions. The choice of colour combination can also help you coordinate your outfit with the wedding palette and your personal style.
