Your measurements.

We measure you in person at the atelier — every gown is fitted directly on your body before it leaves our hands. This guide is simply a reference, to orient the conversation before you arrive.

These are standard industry references. Your actual measurements will be taken by hand at the atelier — no size label will determine your gown.

N.º 02 · The three measurements

Three numbers. One silhouette.

Bridal sizing is not about labels — it is about three precise measurements that define where a gown should rest, gather, and fall. Here is where each one comes from, and why it matters.

01

Bust

Measured at the fullest point of the chest, tape kept parallel to the floor and arms relaxed at your sides. The bust determines the bodice structure — the architecture the entire gown hangs from.

02

Waist

Measured at the narrowest point of the torso — typically 2–3 cm above the navel. A natural, relaxed breath is held during measurement. The waist dictates the depth of any corseting, and how dramatically the skirt sweeps away from the body.

03

Hips

Measured at the widest point of the hips, usually 20–23 cm below the natural waist. This is the measurement most often between sizes — and the reason every gown is altered individually before leaving the atelier.

N.º 03 · What this means in practice

Every gown is altered to you.

No gown leaves the atelier without being tried on and pinned to your body. If you are between sizes — and most brides are — we fit to the larger measurement and take in. Hems, side seams, bust cups, and straps are all adjusted as needed.

For custom commissions, we take ten or more measurements across the full body before cutting a single centimetre of fabric.
