After saying &#8220;I do&#8221; to your dream dress, your bridal consultant will take your measurements. Next, they&#8217;ll compare them to a wedding dress size chart and choose the size closest to your measurements to ensure the gown will fit. Alterations are<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"none\">usually necessary to take in any areas that are too large, hem the gown and add the bustle.

Bridal sizing usually runs one to two sizes smaller than your average ready-to-wear sizing. This is because the wedding industry still uses the standard European sizing from the 1940s, which has stayed the same over the years \u2014 so don&#8217;t let the number shock you!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Keep in mind bridal gown sizing can depend on the silhouette and fabric of your wedding dress. For example, a sheath in a stretch satin may have more wiggle room to work with than a lace mermaid dress. Remember, your bridal consultant will help you choose the proper size, so don&#8217;t worry!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Should you Size up for a Wedding Dress?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Wedding dress sizing runs larger than typical ready-to-wear sizing, which means you\u2019ll likely need to order a numerical size that is larger than what you would typically wear. Despite that factor, you should only size up if it is recommended due to the gown&#8217;s silhouette or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-to-wedding-dress-fabrics\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">fabric<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.

Both silhouettes are stunning on brides with an hourglass shape.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sheath Wedding Dress<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18254\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/09\/M23-ESS-D3763-INF04-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"simple sheath wedding dress with sparkling plunging neckline - D3763 by Essense of Australia\" width=\"1708\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/09\/M23-ESS-D3763-INF04-scaled.jpg 1708w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/09\/M23-ESS-D3763-INF04-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/09\/M23-ESS-D3763-INF04-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/09\/M23-ESS-D3763-INF04-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/09\/M23-ESS-D3763-INF04-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/09\/M23-ESS-D3763-INF04-1366x2048.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1708px) 100vw, 1708px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essensedesigns.com\/essense-of-australia\/wedding-dresses\/d3763\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Essense of Australia Style D3763<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sheath wedding dresses are beautiful on the bride with an athletic or rectangular body type.

Simple alterations may take less time while adding components like sleeves or customizations will take longer. For standard alterations, it may take two or three fittings to get the right fit.
