How can I determine what size wedding dress I need? Every designer sizes their dresses a little differently. If you're buying a new wedding dress that's never been altered, take a look at our sizing chart to see the measurements for each designer. Remember that bridal dresses often run larger than what you would normally wear. For extra assurance, you might also want to try on the same dress at a local bridal shop to see what size fits you best. If you're interested in an altered dress, try to get the new measurements from the seller. What if I can't reach the seller? First, give your seller enough time to get to your email
and respond. If you don't hear back then we recommend trying them
again. If you still don't get a reply, send us an email with the name
of the items in question and their identification numbers. We have additional
contact information for the seller and can let them know you're trying
to get in touch. |
