Understanding Bridal Sizing
First things first, let's talk about bridal sizing. Unlike everyday clothing, bridal gowns typically follow a different sizing chart. It's essential to remember that bridal sizing tends to run smaller than regular clothing, so don't be alarmed if you find yourself trying on a larger size than you're used to.

When it comes to bridal sizing, it's all about finding the best fit for your unique body shape. Remember, every body is different, and what looks stunning on one person may not necessarily flatter another. Embrace your individuality and focus on finding a gown that accentuates your best features.
Getting Started
Before you start your gown shopping journey, it's helpful to have your measurements taken by a professional seamstress or tailor. Knowing your bust, waist, and hip measurements will provide a good starting point when trying on different styles and sizes.

They can offer valuable insights and recommendations based on years of experience working with brides of all shapes and sizes.
Trying on Gowns
When trying on gowns, keep in mind that bridal sizing can vary between designers, so don't get hung up on the number on the tag. Focus on how the dress makes you feel and how well it fits your body. Pay attention to the way the fabric drapes and whether the silhouette flatters your figure.

Alterations
Once you've found the gown of your dreams, it's time to schedule alterations to ensure a perfect fit. Even if you've found a gown in your exact size, minor alterations may still be necessary to tailor the dress to your body shape. Whether it's adjusting the hemline, taking in the waist, or adding straps, it's important to find a skilled seamstress who can work their magic to ensure your gown fits like a glove.
Finding the perfect fit for your bridal gown is an essential part of your wedding journey. Remember to embrace your unique beauty and consider seeking the expertise of external tailors and seamstresses. While Bridal Extraordinaire does not offer alterations in-house, we have a network of preferred vendors we recommend to our brides.
