Living Silk ULTIMATE Slip Size Guide

Finding the right size is important for the ULTIMATE Slip Dress, particularly because it can be worn either as a dress on its own or as a lightweight slip underneath another dress.

The ULTIMATE Slip Dress is designed with a sweetheart neckline, under-bust seam and gently flared skirt. Its lightweight, stretchy fabric allows the dress to sit comfortably against the body while providing flexibility and ease of movement.

How to measure for the ULTIMATE Slip Dress 

For the most accurate measurements, measure yourself while wearing lightweight clothing or underwear. Keep the measuring tape comfortably against your body without pulling it tight.

Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the measuring tape level across your back.

Under Bust

Measure directly underneath your bust, keeping the tape comfortably firm but not tight.  For the ULTIMATE Slip Dress, the bust, waist and under-bust measurements are particularly useful because of the dress's sweetheart neckline and under-bust seam.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
