• The below is just a guide. We recommend that whenever possible you get a qualified seamstress to measure your dress size. Always get someone else to make the measurements for you: measuring yourself will give inaccurate numbers and could lead to disappointment. Measure with undergarments similar to those you will wear with your dress; do not measure over other clothing.

  You may have been worried about shopping for shoes online because they cannot be tried on. Though trying shoes on may be the only way to know for sure, you'll be more likely to order the right size if you measure your foot following our guide.
  1. Measure your feet late in the day when they are a little larger. 2. Wear the socks that you would wear with the shoes. 3. Put a piece of paper on the floor; you can tape it in place if it slips. 4. Have a friend trace your foot with a pen or pencil perpendicular to the floor. 5. Measure the length of your foot. (See image) 6. Repeat with the other foot and use whichever size is larger. 7. Find your women's shoe size on the chart above.
