Frequently asked questions
We know that dress sizes can be confusing. At Lily and Sage, we're committed to making the process as simple and stress-free as possible. Here are some frequently asked questions to help you find your perfect fit:
Why are dress sizes so confusing?
Dress sizes are confusing because they’re inconsistent and don’t reflect real bodies. At Lily and Sage, we don’t use size tags — we use your actual measurements so the fit is right from the beginning.
Do your dresses run true to size?
Because every dress Lily and Sage makes is tailored from your actual measurements, you don’t need to size up or down — the dress is created to fit you, not a generic size chart.
What if I'm still unsure about my size?
When in doubt, just message us. We’re always happy to talk through measurements one-on-one so you feel confident before ordering.
What's the most important measurement to get right?
Always choose based on your bust measurement. The bust is the most important part of the bodice to get right. Everything else — waist, hips, length — is much easier to adjust or shape during the making process. A bust that’s too small or too large is the hardest area to fix afterward, so choosing the size (or measurement range) that matches your bust will give the best starting point.
How can I measure myself accurately?
Getting your perfect fit is easier than most people think — it just comes down to a few simple measurements. Check out our illustrated guide below for a visual representation of where to measure. Need help? Message us anytime.
Besides measurements, what else should I consider?
A perfect fit is about more than numbers on a tape measure. When choosing the right size and style, it helps to think about the purpose of the dress, ease of movement, your personal comfort zone, fabric choice, and care and longevity.
What if I need help with measurements?
If anyone feels unsure, they can contact us directly at [[phonenumber]] or [[email]] and we’ll personally walk them through how to measure — no stress, no guessing.
Can you tell me more about alterations?
If extra shaping is needed, we can always do a Full Bust Adjustment (FBA) or make small tweaks so the final dress fits beautifully.
