How to Measure for Your Living Silk Pure Silk Tea Length Dress

For the most accurate result, take your measurements while wearing light clothing or underwear.

Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape measure comfortably level.

Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist without pulling the tape tightly.

Under Bust: Measure directly underneath your bust, keeping the tape measure level around your body.  This is where this dress is seamed, so please do the measurement in a relaxed manner.  

If your measurements fall between two sizes, or you are unsure which size is best, we recommend sizing up as the dress, including the lining is pure silk.  You are welcome to speak with our stylist before ordering.
