Standard Sizing
We offer standard sizes for all of our dresses. Please refer to the FAL Size Chart for the measurements for our standard sizes.
Custom Sizing
We can also make your dress to your custom measurements. Please refer to the instructions below on how to go about taking your measurements when ordering a dress with custom sizing.
How do I go about taking measurements?
You can take the measurements at home with some assistance from a friend/ family member or at your nearest tailor / seamstress, whichever is more convenient for you.
Please keep in mind, we offer basic custom sizing to help reduce your potential alteration costs. While we will make your order according to the measurements provided, your dress may require additional alterations at your expense.
Small variations in all wedding gowns are to be expected, custom tailoring is necessary for all quality garments to achieve the best possible fit.
For example, strap length isn't customized. We make all straps the same length, to fit a wide range of body types, so your dress straps may need to be adjusted or taken in with a local tailor to fit you comfortably.
What are the set of measurements you would need?
Before you begin with the measurements, please be sure to,
• Measure only in centimeters for more precision.
• Wear undergarments that you will wear under the dress on your wedding day.
• Stand up straight and tall. Stay relaxed. Try not to hold your breath, suck in or push out your stomach or chest. Take all the measurements with your arms by your sides.
• Take the measurements more than once to be sure and don't make it too tight, you should be able to fit a finger between the tape and your body.
• If you’ll be taking the measurements with shoes on (that you'll be wearing on your wedding day), please indicate it. If not, please give an approximate height of the shoes.
Measurements
• Bust : Measure across the fullest part of your bust.
• Under-bust : Measure directly under the bust, where bra bone would sit.

• Arm's Eye : This measurement gives us the size of the sleeve hole that you are comfortable wearing. This measurement is entirely subjective and you can make it as deep or as tight as you are comfortable with.
• Arm Length : Measure from the top of your shoulder, along your arm to where the wrist meets your hand, just past your wrist bone.
