Finding your best style and size can be challenging, especially if you are expecting. To help, we offer a selection of Maternity Styles, which have extra room in the waist and belly area and are designed to accommodate your changing body.
You can order Maternity Styles in either standard or custom sizing. However, if you want more flexibility, especially if this is your first pregnancy or if you'll be very far along at the time of the wedding, standard sizing may be the better option since it is returnable, while custom sizing is not.
Standard Sizing
To determine your best size, measure your bust, under bust, and hips and compare them to our maternity size chart, found on every dress's order page.
If you find that you are between two sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size and having it altered to fit closer to your event.
Custom Sizing
If you want to custom order one of our Maternity Styles, you will need to provide us with your current bust, under bust, belly, hips, and hollow to floor measurements at checkout.
You can find instructions for measuring most of these measurements in the video on our size chart page but for the under bust and belly, you'll follow these instructions:
Under Bust | Wearing a good fitting bra, measure around your under bust using the bottom of your bra as a guide. Make sure the tape is level. Keep it slightly loose for comfort. |
Around Belly | Pull the tape around the fullest part of waist, keep it slightly loose for comfort. |
You do not need to add anything extra to your measurements for these styles but if you would like some added wiggle room to be safe, you may add an additional 0.25 - 0.5 inches (0.5-1.25cm) to your bust, under bust, belly, and hip measurements for some added wiggle room but because of the pattern for these styles, the skirts will have extra room built in automatically.
