This is the Dreamers & Lovers sizing chart. This chart is helpful when:

• selecting a home try-on wedding dress
• purchasing a standard-sized wedding dress

It is usual for wedding dress sizes to be different than the sizing of off-the-rack clothing you usually wear. The numbers on the tag are less important than the fit. The FIT matters.

If you are ordering a standard-sized dress and fall between two sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size. This is especially true when ordering a fitted dress. If you need help figuring this out, call us at 424-448-2161 or email us at [email protected].

If you are ordering your made-to-measure wedding dress, this size chart is irrelevant because we will make it to fit YOUR body measurements.

Where are your dresses made?
Every Dreamers & Lovers dress is proudly designed, cut, and sewn in our California design studio.

Do I need a bra for my dress?
Our backless dresses have bra cups sewn in, so a bra is not required. Woohoo!

What if I lose/gain weight?
Not to worry. Please provide us with your updated measurements a month before your dress ships. We will make any changes to your dress before sending your made-to-measure dress out to you.

Do you offer customizations/tweaks?
We offer minor tweaks to our dresses, such as sleeves and train length changes. Unfortunately, we only provide complete custom designs, as we have a demanding workload with our designs.

Is the dress see-through?
No, our dresses are all lined. We use the nude color on some samples; that is the color. The dress is not sheer.

What is made-to-measure?
Dreamers & Lovers is obsessed with FIT. When you order a made-to-measure dress, we use about 15 of your unique measurements to craft the dress to fit your body. Your dress is custom-made for you, made to fit you from scratch. The dress is created specifically for you from beginning to end.

What is the standard size?
A standard-sized dress is made to our standard sizing on our chart. If your measurements align with a size 8, you would order a size 8.

Is the price of made-to-measure and standard-size the same?
Yes, it is. The difference is in turnaround time. Standard-size dresses have a shorter ETA.

Why choose Dreamers & Lovers to make my wedding dress?
If you are a free-spirited bride, that values uniqueness and comfort, then we are your wedding dress partner. Since 2012, we have been creating wedding dresses for brides like you. It’s all we do daily in our California design studio.

Can you send me a sample to try on?
Sure thing, more than 50% of our brides are finding us and buying online after using our home try-on service. Home try-on is genius because we are a small company, and brides love it. You can try up to three dresses at home.
