Before you choose your size
All measurements in the chart are body measurements in inches. Measure over well-fitted undergarments and keep the tape comfortably snug, not tight.
- If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
- Choose the size that accommodates your largest relevant measurement—bust, waist or hips.
- Dress, top and bottom fits can vary slightly by style, fabric and silhouette; check the product description before ordering.

How to Measure Yourself – The Ivory Way
Whether you’re ordering a custom outfit or just want the perfect fit, here’s how to take your measurements like a pro. All you need is a measuring tape, a mirror, and a little patience (or a friend!).
1. Bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust.
Keep it straight across your back and snug, not tight.
3. Hips
Measure around the widest part of your hips.
This includes your bottom — stand with feet together for accuracy.
5. Armhole
Wrap the tape around the curve of your shoulder and underarm.
Not too tight — think of how you move in sleeves.
7. Full Length
Start from the top of your shoulder (near the neck) to where you want the outfit to end.
Ankle, floor, or knee — your choice!
Pro Tips from Ivory:
Always measure over well-fitted undergarments.
Use a flexible cloth measuring tape (not a metal one!).
Double-check each measurement — precision makes perfection.
If in doubt, our team is just a message away!
2. Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist.
Usually just above your belly button. Don’t suck in!
4. Shoulder Width
Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the other.
Go straight across the back, following the natural slope.
6. Sleeve Length
Measure from the shoulder tip down to your wrist.
Keep your arm slightly bent for the best fit.
