Buying online--measurements help!

elizabethgracef, on February 19, 2021 at 9:45 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

Hi all!

I'm getting married in October 2021. I found a dress I adore online that they custom make with your measurements. I'll be going to a seamstress to get my measurements done accurately, but I had a thought come up...


Do I need to go ahead and get measured with my undergarments (shapewear in particular!) on? I wasn't planning to buy until after the dress came in to make sure none of it shows but now I'm second guessing my plan, lol!


Maybe I'm overthinking it and when I get the dress altered after it comes in, they'll make adjustments for the undergarments?

Let me know what ya'll think!

Thanks! -Liz

    I’d bring it in with you as well as the shoes you’re planning on wearing.

    I wouldn’t get measured with shapewear on, especially since you don’t even know what kind of shapewear you need until you have the dress.

    I think you should measure without shapewear, but definitely bring the shoes or similar height shoes that you're planning on wearing. Definitely bring your shapewear to your first alterations appointment though.

    I worked in bridal for three years- I would have them measure your bust with a bra on, because the dress should support you and hold you about where a normal, unpadded t-shirt bra would!

    When I got my dress I was measured with brown and I wore these nautical biker under pants from marshalls.
