Littlebox IndiaRead fabric behavior
Knits and stretch blends forgive more. Cotton, satin, organza and structured fabrics need closer measurement matching.
Check model height and length
A dress that is midi on a tall model may sit lower on a petite body. Use listed length whenever available.
Size for the tightest area
If your bust and waist fall into different sizes, choose the size that fits the tighter area and tailor the easier part if needed.

Buying questions
Should I size up when buying dresses online?
Size up only when the fabric has no stretch, the silhouette is fitted, or your measurement sits between two sizes. For relaxed dresses, the regular size may be enough.
Which measurement matters most for dresses?
Bust, waist, and dress length matter most. For fitted dresses, hip measurement also matters. For sleeved dresses, shoulder width can change comfort.
How do I avoid buying the wrong dress size online?
Check the size chart, fabric, model height, dress length, return policy, and reviews if available. Avoid choosing only by usual S/M/L sizing.
