If you are in between sizes we recommend going down a size only if the garment stretches (which almost all our styles do). We recommend going up a size if the garment doesn’t stretch. Remember gals, if your just not sure what size to buy, and your right in-between our size guidelines, we would say just order the larger size and be safe….you can always have it alerted. This way, you get almost a custom fitted dress and save yourself the time and money of having to ship things back and forth.
