THE BIGGEST MISTAKE YOU CAN MAKE WHEN FINDING A KILLER DRESS ONLINE

If you’re considering an online purchase, hold your credit card! We’ve spoken with Tamara from My Private Tailor to find out what the biggest mistake that Brides-To-Be make when it comes to online wedding shopping.

SIZING!  

Tamara says that the biggest mistake brides make when ordering online is misunderstanding the sizing.

So, before you purchase, Tamara recommends that you:

• Go to an expert to get measured up.
• Print out a measuring chart or diagram from the designer that shows exactly where the measurements should be taken.
• Measurements are taken differently depending on which country you’re from, so make sure you are clear and give precise information to the tailor/seamstress who will be measuring you to avoid a major meltdown.
• Consider the height of shoe you are wearing and take this into account for extra length.
• If you are curvaceous, you add extra length allowances. The longer the better, as you can always alter and shorten the hem of a dress; but you can rarely lengthen.
