Sizing Guide

There are several ways for you to size up. It is very important that you get it right as it will save you hassle in having to return a dress due to wrong size.

1) Use the Sizing Chart Below as the best way.
2) Use the SizeoMeter to give you an idea of the correct size and double-check against the chart below
3) Email us with your chest, waist and hip measurements and we can advise on the best size (sizing@chinesedresses.co.uk)

Use the sizing chart below for guidance in choosing the correct size dress.

PLEASE READ: By their nature, chinese dresses are very fitting and if it is too snug, you may find them not as easy to move around in. Going up a size larger than your normal dress size will ensure that the dress is a comfortable fit rather than being too snug!
