Bridesmaid Measurement Guide: Ensuring the Perfect Fit

At Asher Lane Bridal Shop, we believe that every member of your bridal party should look and feel their best. To achieve this, it's crucial to have accurate measurements when selecting bridesmaid dresses. Here are some comprehensive Bridesmaid Measurement Guide to ensure the perfect fit for your bridal party:

1. Bust Measurement:

Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the measuring tape comfortably snug but not tight. Make sure the tape is parallel to the ground. This measurement will help you determine the right dress size for the bust area.

2. Waist Measurement:

Measure around the natural waistline, which is the smallest part of the waist. Ensure the tape is snug but not constricting. This measurement is vital for dresses that are fitted at the waist. If you are between sizes it is always better to go up and have taken in if needed.

3. Hip Measurement:

Measure around the fullest part of the hips and buttocks. Again, ensure the tape is parallel to the ground and snug but not tight. This measurement is essential for styles that are fitted at the hips. If you are between sizes it is always better to go up and have taken in if needed.

4. Hollow to Hem:

Measure from the hollow base of the neck (the indentation between the collarbones) to the hem of the dress. Stand straight and keep your feet together while taking this measurement. It helps determine the length of the dress, ensuring it's neither too short nor too long. Although, we don't measure our length this way, some other designers may so it is better to be informed and we want your fit to be good no matter where you get your dress.

5. Shoulder to Shoulder:

Measure across the back from one shoulder tip to the other. This measurement is crucial for styles with straps, sleeves, or any design elements that involve the shoulder area. Although, we don't measure ours this way, some other designers may so it is better to be informed and we want your fit to be good no matter where you get your dress.

6. Armhole Measurement:

Measure around the shoulder and under the armpit. This measurement ensures that sleeves or armholes are comfortable and do not chafe. Although, we don't measure ours this way, some other designers may so it is better to be informed and we want your fit to be good no matter where you get your dress.

7. Dress Length:

If you have a specific length in mind for your bridesmaid dresses, measure from the natural waistline to your desired hem length. This is particularly important for floor-length dresses to achieve the perfect gown length. We offer regular length and long length to help those that need extra length.
