Finding the perfect wedding gown is a magical moment for any bride. However, one of the most common struggles brides encounter during this journey is navigating bridal gown sizing. Unlike regular clothing, wedding gowns often have unique sizing charts that can be confusing and inconsistent. At Teresa's Bridal, a private boutique in Redding, CA, we aim to demystify the process and ensure every bride feels confident and beautiful in her chosen gown.
Understanding Bridal Gown Sizing
Bridal gown sizing can be a source of frustration for many brides. It’s important to understand that bridal sizes often run smaller than everyday clothing sizes. This means that if you usually wear a size 8, you might need a size 10 or 12 in a wedding gown. The key is not to focus on the number but on the fit and comfort of the gown.
Tips for Navigating Bridal Gown Sizing
-
Get Accurate Measurements: Before you start shopping, get professionally measured. Key measurements include your bust, waist, hips, and height. These measurements will help you find the right size according to the designer’s sizing chart.
-
Know the Designer’s Sizing Chart: Each designer has its own sizing chart, so it’s essential to check the specific measurements for the gown you’re interested in. Don’t assume that your size will be the same across different designers.
-
Try Different Sizes: Don’t be discouraged if your usual size doesn’t fit. Wedding gowns are made with different fabrics and structures, so trying on a size up or down can make a significant difference in the fit and comfort.
-
Alterations Are Your Friend: Most brides will need some alterations to achieve the perfect fit. Factor in the cost and time for alterations when planning your wedding dress budget.
-
Focus on Fit, Not the Number: Remember, the size on the label is just a number. What matters most is how the gown makes you feel. Choose a size that fits your body well and makes you feel confident and beautiful.
