Sizing Wedding Dresses for Men
Wedding dresses are notorious for being cut smaller than what Americans are used to seeing. Tag shock is not uncommon when an American size “10” ends up in a size “14” in the dress. A number of gowns are sized according to European or Japanese standards.Men who cannot personally try on a wedding gown need to carefully size the dress before they order it. Measurements should be taken with an accurate tape, preferably by an experienced tailor. Things to consider include:
- Women’s dress waists are often just above their belly button, rather than below.
- Length of torso should be considered if a dress has a special waistline.
- Take bust line measurements wearing the foundation garments that will be worn with the dress on the wedding day.
