Selecting a Size
Each manufacturer offers their own size chart, which reflects how they cut their sizes. Please see Size Charts on our site. It is important that you follow the individual designer's chart to decide your size. Keep in mind that the measurements are taken to determine the closest size to be ordered and that the garment will not be custom-made to the exact measurements. Almost every gown will need some type of adjustment.
Prior to selecting your size to order, we suggest reviewing the information provided in How to Measure. The designer will be unable to accommodate any changes to the size once the order has been placed.
The customer is responsible for the size ordered and or whether or not to order special length. Bridal Direct cannot assume any responsibility for measurements.

Rush means, if time permits and the fabric of a particular style is available, our manufacturer will cut the order.
