size guide
For best results, we advise having a professional seamstress or tailor take your measurements. If you measure in between sizes, we recommend ordering the size larger and tailoring the gown down for a perfect fit. ModernNisa cannot be held responsible for measurements taken outside of our store.
Here’s how to measure:
- BUST – Bring the tape around your back and across the fullest part of the chest. Your arms should be relaxed. Measure the fullest part of your chest OVER the bra cup. (Please note that this is NOT the same as your bra size)
- WAIST – Bring the tape 1-2 inches above your belly button. Be sure not to suck in your stomach, and leave one finger under the tape so that you are able to breathe in your dress.
- HIPS – Have your feet close together, bring the tape around the widest part of your hips, right across the hip bone.
