Dresses:
It can seem a little scary to buy a dress without first trying it on, and that's why we've compiled a number of sizing charts to help you.
Which sizing chart should you be looking at? Please look at the 'Product Code' of the item you are ordering. The first few letters will tell you which sizing chart the dress corresponds to. Here's a few quick-links to the relevant sizing charts.
MISSANNE (Miss Anne)
AD (BCBG)
GS (Gerry Shaw)
FL/FY (Flirtini)
BO/BM (Bariano)
Not here? Our general sizing chart should give you some indication.
We are continually adding to our sizing charts to help you order the best dress every time.
Please note: while the provided sizing charts give a very good indication of each brands sizing, we can not garuantee every dress by this brand will be exactly the quoted sizing. Where sizing differs for a particular style, we try and indicate this in the Product Description.
MISSANNE
Miss Anne is one of our most popular brands. Some of their dresses have smocking on the back, others have zips and the sizing differs accordingly. Because of this we've compiled two different sizing charts for their dresses to ensure you get the best fitting dress each time.
Dresses with smocking:These dresses have an elasticated 'smocking' panel on the back, meaning they are an easy fit. We generally recommend getting a dress in the mid- higher range of the sizes provided as this will ensure the smocking is somewhat stretched and the dress will stay up better (which is particularly important if the dress is strapless!)
| Size | Bust (cm) | Waist (cm) |
| XS | 77-93 | measurements |
| S | 81-97 | coming |
| M | 84-100 | soon. |
| L | 87-103 | |
| XL | 90-106 | |
| 16 | 93-109 | |
| 18 | 97-113 | |
| 20 | 100-116 |
Waist measurements are on their way - generally, if the bust measurements are within range, the waist is a good fit too. Hip measurements are not provided because most Miss Anne dresses are free-flowing from under the bust.
Dresses with zips:
These dresses do not have any give and are smaller in size than their smocking counterparts. Most Miss Anne dresses with zips follow these measurements closely; there are a couple of styles which may differ ever so slightly. Where known, Product descriptions reflect these variations.
| Size | Bust (cm) | Waist (cm) | Hips (cm) |
| XS | 83 | 66 | 90 |
| S | 85 | 70 | 96 |
| M | 87 | 74 | 105 |
| L | 92 | 78 | 114 |
| XL | 98 | 80 | 120 |
| 16 | |||

AD (BCBG)
These stunning dresses are a small make. Please note - when you receive the dress you ordered, the label will display a different size to that which you ordered. This is because these dresses have been made to US sizing - a couple of sizes smaller than Australian sizing. Hip measurements are variable, depending on the dress. As these dresses are generally free fitting below the waist, this is normally not a problem.
| Sizing | Bust (cm) | Waist(cm) | Hips (cm) |

| 8 (US 4) | 80 | 64 | depending |

How to measure
Bust: Measure under your arms at the fuller part of your bust. Keep tape level across your shoulder blades.
Natural Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape comfortably loose.
Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.
Shoes:
Most of us are familiar with our shoe size, but sometimes sizes can differ between shoe brands and not all styles are made in half sizes.
For this reason it is important that you read the description accompanying each style carefully. If a style is not a standard fit, we try to let you know whether it is a large, small, narrow or wide fit, to help you in your decision making.
We also strongly recommend that you print out and use this Ladies foot size chart to confirm your size. Please follow the instructions carefully.

Please note that should you be unhappy with the fit of your purchase you may exchange it for a different size, subject to availability and in accordance with our exchange policy.
What if have wide or narrow feet?
The shoes on our website generally come in standard width fittings, so if you have a very wide feet you may want to consider going up a size.
Alternatively if you have very narrow feet you may require an innersole and/or heel grips to achieve a comfortable fit.
What if I have one foot bigger than the other?
Most people have one foot larger than the other. When choosing your size it's always important to cater for your largest foot. Inner soles and heel grips can be used very effectively inside the shoe containing your smaller foot when there is a significant size difference.
I’m a 7 ½ but the style I want doesn't come in half sizes, which size do I choose?
Generally speaking a size 8 would be the best choice.
